18. And if I were Walmart, I would make sure no one lost a day's pay when the store had to shut

down for a tragedy like this. But that would be the normal, human thing to do. And we are talking about greed of dimensions not seen in the history of the world. And the world, because of them, is a lot sadder place.

You just made the case everyone else has been making. Not only are they heartless bastards for not caring about a murdered human being, but if they had closed down, they would have cut the pay of their already struggling employees. Thanks for the reminder, I should have thought about that.

Not sure what your point was though, it didn't seem to be to try to make Walmart look worse than it already does, but that is what you succeeded in doing anyhow.
