Forget the liberals and idealists at Occupy Wall Street. The LA Times reveals the real America. Hours after a woman attacked fellow shoppers with pepper spray inside a Wal-Mart in Porter Ranch, another shopper was shot in an attempted robbery outside another of the store’s chains in the East Bay suburb of San Leandro.
The victim, along with family members, was walking to the parking lot between 1 and 2 a.m. when three or four suspects confronted the group and demanded that they turn over their purchases, Sgt. Mike Sobek of the San Leandro Police Department told Bay City News Service.
When the family refused, a fight broke out and one of the suspects pulled out a gun and shot the victim, police said. Family members wrestled one of the suspects to the ground while the rest fled. The victim was taken to the hospital in critical but stable condition, while the detained suspect -- a man in his mid-20s -- was arrested, police said.
