Pepper spray and gun fire marred Christmas shopping for some people on Black Friday. Police in Los Angeles say a woman used pepper spray to gain advantage over fellow shoppers at a Walmart store. In San Leandro, Calif., a Walmart shopper was shot and wounded during a suspected robbery.
Roughing It
To be first in line
And hold others at bay,
Some shoppers went armed
With, what else? Pepper spray.
Buying for family,
From TVs to computers,
Some even contended
With holiday looters.
Some folks were hurt
While ignoring some laws;
But as far as we know,
They spared Santa Claus.
