(AP) LOS ANGELES — A woman trying to improve her chance to buy cheap electronics at a Walmart in a wealthy suburb spewed pepper spray on a crowd of shoppers and 20 people suffered minor injuries, police said Friday. The attack took place about 10:20 p.m. Thursday shortly after doors opened for the sale at the Walmart in Porter Ranch in the San Fernando Valley. The store had brought out a crate of discounted Xbox video game players, and a crowd had formed to wait for the unwrapping, when the woman began spraying people "in order to get an advantage," police Sgt. Jose Valle said. "Faces were red," shopper John Lopez told ABC News Radio. "This one guy was coming up to my wife going, 'Call an ambulance! Call an ambulance!'" Matthew Lopez, 18, told the Los Angeles Times he heard screaming and yelling. "Moments later, my throat stung. I was coughing really bad and watering up," he said. In the aftermath, video showed dozens of shoppers milling around while employees urge them to back up and make room. It was the only major violence reported at a Southern California store involving Black Friday Thanksgiving holiday sales. Ten people were slightly injured by the pepper spray and 10 others suffered minor bumps and bruises in the chaos, Valle said. They were treated at the scene. "People could have gotten trampled," he said. "Good thing there were no small kids." The woman got away in the confusion, but it was not immediately clear whether she got an Xbox, Valle said. "Walmart is going through register receipts to see if it was purchased," he said. The store remained open and those not affected by the pepper spray kept shopping. "This was an unfortunate situation. We're glad everyone seems to be OK," Walmart said in a statement. "We're working with law enforcement to provide what information we have, such as surveillance video, to assist in their investigation." The woman could face felony battery charges if she is found, Valle said.

America's cops show others what "model" behaviour is all about. Don't you feel proud?
Legitimate shoppers vs squatters ! You wouldn't know the difference !
If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons are for girlie boys !
Someone needs to pepperspray you with at least a tera-gallon of the most potent kind, perhaps using a 4" spray nozzle saturating your entire being for years to come.
If you get too close to the Xboxes you're a squatter in need of seasoning. Apply pepper spray.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
I can understand why A K A Stone allows that demented single-celled protoplasm called boris to post. But, there is no excuse for Moderator X.

OKAY, I get it. I am stuck with a non-intellectual, primordial piece of slime unable to pull itself out of the ocean and onto land. OKAY, what do you want to know? How to fix your plight elevating yourself beyond a single-celled amorphous blob that can be chewed by those creatures in the sea? I was thinking that the candid pepper-spray idea that I offered on this thread (above) could be a way for you to climb the ladder of success within the food-chain before it is too late. You could become one of those presupposed or otherwise imagined MONSTERS whose ravenous appetites for teen-age girls during the 1950's nuclear movie theatrics prove true.
