Shootings pepper-spray attack mar Wal-Mart Black Friday sale
Last Updated on Friday, 25 November 2011 06:15 Written by External Post Friday, 25 November 2011 06:15
As shoppers converged on retailers around the country looking for Black Friday deals, authorities reported scattered problems.
In Porter Ranch, a woman pepper sprayed customers at a Wal-Mart in what authorities say was a deliberate attempt to get more "door buster" merchandise. In San Leandro, a Wal-Mart shopper walking to his car was shot and wounded in a suspected robbery early Friday.
Another shooting was reported at a parking lot next to a Wal-Mart in South Carolina, also a suspected robbery attempt. Officials told WMBF-TV they believe the robbery was tied to Black Friday.
At Porter Ranch, 20 customers, including children, were hurt in the 10:10 p.m. incident, officials said. Shoppers complained of minor skin and eye irritation and sore throats.
"This was customer-versus-customer ‘shopping rage,’" said Los Angeles Police Lt. Abel Parga.
The woman used the spray in more than one area of the Wal-Mart "to gain preferred access to a variety of locations in the store," said Los Angeles Fire Capt. James Carson.
"She was competitive shopping," he said.
Police are searching for the woman but said they’ve had trouble getting a clear description of her.

Country House AuctionsLast Updated on Wednesday, 9 November 2011 10:55 Written by External Post Wednesday, 9 November 2011 10:55 Following World War II, the vast workforce needed to run and maintain a stately or country home was depleted due to the fact of soldiers either continuing their duties or finding better paid jobs in towns. The final nail in the coffin came after World War II left many buildings in a poor state of repair, agricultural supplies declined and higher taxes were levied. Therefore, the only solution, in order to raise funds was to hold contents auctions in the grounds. This led to a period of fantastic finds for the educated and knowledgeable antique dealer. Sales were hastily advertised in the local press and encouraged dealers to travel to all parts of the country seeking out the catalogued treasures. However times have changed with the power of the Web. Auctioneers can now fully orchestrate a country house sale without any hiccups, although sometimes months are needed to organise the sales. They can be very rewarding for the seller as a house sale can show the objects in their own setting which can influence buyers to pay a higher premium. Gone are the days of the large stately home having all its contents displayed on its lawns, but the concept is still there for smaller estates to offer for sale their complete contents and raise funds with organised and well marketed techniques. Press releases encourage buyers from all over the world and interest is raised in anticipation of the treasures yet to be discovered. Read The Rest Of This...
