Video shows woman attack Walmart clerk with scissors

walmart stabbing

 

MOUNT VERNON, Wash. — Newly released surveillance video shows a bizarre and violent outburst at a Walmart check-out stand in Mount Vernon last Friday.

Police say Nancy K. Reed allegedly said something about the mafia kidnapping her grandchild, and she didn’t like the vibe coming from the register.

Then, violence erupted. The video shows the woman pulling scissors from her cart and jabbing a clerk in the arm. Seconds later, she lunges at a second employee with the scissors — a tussle that ends up on the ground.

At some point, Reed goes for the hair, police said.

“The staff person got her hair pulled and a fist-full of hair came out,” said Shannon Haigh with Mount Vernon police.

A brave customer stepped in to take the scissors out of the woman’s hand, and no one was seriously hurt. And while everybody was waiting for police to arrive, the woman starts dancing around and lifting up her dress.

One shopper said she admired that someone had the courage to get in there and help the clerks.

“Your first reaction is just kind of stand there and stare, like, ‘is it really happening?’ ” Tia Johnson said. “I’m sure, so at least somebody had the nerve to step forward instead of stepping back.”

And police credited how Walmart staff handled themselves in a strange and dangerous situation.

“They were looking out for their customers and each other, and keeping their eye on a person they’d been watching and that they knew that the behavior that was a little bizarre,” Haigh said.

Investigators say will likely order a mental health evaluation for Reed when she appears in court on Thursday.

The Internet Has Opinions About Morrisons Advertising On The Angel Of The North

Category: Grocery Retail, Morrisons Tags: , Leave a Comment

Want to spark debate online? Project a giant baguette onto a national monument.

Supermarket chain Morrisons has projected a giant bread advert across the wings of The Angel of the North.

Imagewise

The 66-foot structure was designed by Antony Gormley, and has stood in Gateshead in Tyne and Wear since 1998. It is one of the country’s most recognisable pieces of public art.

2. “I’d rather the Angel is not used for such purposes,” Antony Gormley told The Guardian. “But it’s out there.”

Imagewise

3. And the internet wasn’t happy at all.

That Morrisons Angel of the North ad isn’t real, is it? Is it? For fuck’s sake.

.@Morrisons Please tell me you didn’t really advertise a cheap baguette across the Angel of the North?

The Morrisons baguette advert on the Angel of the North is so philistine and disgraceful I … I don’t even have a joke here. Depressed.

Morrisons presumably working on the principle all publicity is good publicity. Even when ruining artworks with dreadfully ugly ads.

angel of the North being used to advertise a shitty supermarket ( or anything) makes me burn with fury

Welcome to Britain, where we’ve slapped a Morrisons advert across the Angel of the North. We really are a shit hole.

9. Some people felt strongly enough to boycott the supermarket.

I think it’s disgraceful of @Morrisons to deface the Angel of the North with an advert. Reason not to shop there I reckon.

Well I for one am never shopping in #Morrisons again. Obnoxious, Angel of the North ad, with its glibness, thinking they’re being clever.

11. While others desperately pleaded with Morrisons to reconsider.

@Morrisons please remove your advert from The Angel of the North. I beg of you. It’s embarrassing for us all.

please take the morrisons ad down from the angel of the north PLEASE IT’S SO TACKY AND EMBARRASSING PLEA SE

13. Yet others were so furious they became positively lyrical.

“I am in the pit, and gone so deep that I can see the brightness of the stars at noon.” “Sorry Ken?” “A baguette on the Angel of the North.”

First they came for our utilities, then our rail service, and then for our public works of art. #Morrisons #AngelOfTheNorth

15. Some people’s complaints were that the advert wasn’t local enough.

Advertising on the Angel of the North, where to start?! I mean, it’s not even a stottie …..

16. Plenty of people, meanwhile, saw the funny side.

I personally hope there’s a sex shop with a big enough budget to advertise on the Angel of the North

Morrisons advertising bread on the Angel of the North. Durex is advertising as well but you can’t see at this angle.

trying to watch a film but the Morrisons guy is sat at the back of the cinema w/ his own projector, inserting images of bread into the movie

20. But some just didn’t know what to think.

Morrisons flogging a baguette on the Angel of the North is both genius and tragic.

The Angel of the North doesn’t do much for me as an artwork, but imagine being the miserable fuck that looked at it and thought “billboard”.

So Morrisons bagget on the Angel of the North is not ok but a naked Gail Porter on the House Of Commons is? #baffled

23. Then there were the people who doubted it even happened in reality.

Seriously. Just find me one person who actually saw the Morrisons ad on the Angel of the North, and I’ll believe it happened.

24. And the ones who were determined to keep it real.

It would take over 250 million Hula Hoops to weigh the same as the Angel of the North. Fact.
