The headline alone gives me chills


Walmart strikes result in arrests as store claims Black Friday sales success

http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/nov/24/walmart-strikes-arrests-black-friday

Forget the article (although it's pertinent, but probably has been repeated in parts here before).

I'm okay if they want to ignore protesters and hire replacements, that's their perogative, but to be supressing the protests through arrests and then crowing about success seems a bit much.

I also understand it is their property, so they can call "trespass" if they want, but being able to do something and actually doing it are two different things (just ask Lindsey Stone).

This is going to wend its way back to them, gradually, slowly, but increasingly.

Where's my popcorn?
