OT--Interesting Sunday
Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2008 6:04 amMy three daughters spend the end of last week at my parent's house. On Saturday, my wife and I went to get them, spent the night, and started home Sunday.
We stopped in Big Spring, a town of 25,000, at Wal-Mart to grab a couple of things and stretch our legs. My wife and the girls went one way, I went the other. I'm standing there looking at spray paint a couple minutes later and hear screaming and see EVERYONE running toward the front of the store. I asked one of the women running by what the hell was happening. She just said, "FIGHT"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, I went up front just in time to see two shirtless gang bangers running out one front door and two more running out the other door. A bunch of managers were chasing after them and hollering for male stock boys to come help. One woman in the pharmacy was screaming for someone to stop them. Apparently, the gang bangers had a show down literally a couple of minutes after I had parted with Andrea and the girls, in the same place we were standing!!!!!!!!! I looked all over the store for them (found them, btw). Everyone was just standing frozen as no one knew if or when the gang bangers would come back in. About 10 minutes later, the police arrived. Everyone resumed checking out/shopping.
There had been three people killed there a few weeks ago in a drive-by by the Latin Kings. Now, y'all in L.A., Chicago, Houston, etc. may be used to such things, but out here in West Texas, it scared this country boy!!!!!!!
