Reading this article was a little bit scary for to me because I tend to shop at this Walmart alot, especially late hours because I usually can get in and out. But I feel this crime is a real shame that people would go and damage these people store like this, if they could put this type of time and energy towards something good then this world would be a better place. Parents and peers really do need to step up because these days kids are headed straight to the jailhouse and prison instead of heading to college. Being a single parent that works and goes to school and my hours varies on top of that makes Walmart very convient that it stays open 24hours but because dumb senseless crimes like this could cause that to change.
