re: Did i see a possible dry run for a terrorist attack?

they could have just lost a bet and their friends were watching, laughing like crazy. I just think if what I saw upset me like it upset the General, I'd call someone. I don't know that it would have upset me. They may have forgotten their wallets, maybe wanted to shop lift a bunch of tennis balls and chickened out (no offense Chicken), but the good General was very upset and prolly needed to share the load.

and 2) economic impact.

this means much more to them than #1. #1 is prolly around 4 or 5 or so in their list

And needless to say, an attack on a WalMart where multiple people died would probably cost billions for the economy in lost revenue.

when you start over-thinking shite like this, they (terrorists, media, right wing hawks who want to instill fear in us) have won. that's a sad, paranoid and mistrusting life that i refuse to lead

Leave the economics to me pal! What happened to the airline industry after 9/11? What happened to how many people rode the trains in Madrid or London after the bombings there? You are a damned fool if you don't think that a serious terrorist attack at WalMart, one of our largest corporations, would have serious implications for the economy. And of course terrorists care about body count. Why do they attack packed nightclubs in Israel or Bali if not to try to kill as many people as possible?

wal mart is like an accessory to crystal meth

because they're nothing more than easy targets

if terrorists cared so much about body count, they suck at being terrorists. 911 was a huge fricking failure

Walmart had 350 billion in revenues for the fiscal year 2007. Even a 1% drop off in revenues would have a 3.5 billion dollar impact. So don't bwahaha me.

I'm still gonna suck it up and go get those used golf balls at Walmart. They're not stoppin' me! I just ain't payin' for new ones just to knock 'em in the drink! Let 'em blow me up.

my point is that if the terrorists care about body counts, 911 was a fricking failure for a bunch of reasons

and that directly effects the US economy how? It doesn't

Do I really have to explain this? I don't question you on construction, so don't question me on economics. Walmart is the largest private employer in the United States. Walmart is one of the Dow 30 components, and an attack there would surely cause a major drop in it's stock price. This would effect the value of people's 401k's and other retirement accounts if they have index based mutual funds or have stock in Wal Mart specifically.
