Name-calling, fire extinguishers, people throwing stuff at each other and fighting. Many will tell you it’s just another day inside the walls of Walmart.

But this particular Walmart moment, brought to you courtesy of social media, seemed to be a little over the top — even by Walmart standards.
It involved what police say was anywhere from 10 to 25 people, some of whom were kicking and throwing punches. And yes, one used a fire extinguisher to try to cool off the hotter heads. One person reportedly hit another with a pole. (No word on if the person purchased the item first.)
The melee took place in Ferguson, Missouri, about 10 miles out of St. Louis. According to reports, it involved two families.
Walmart Brawl Gets Gild
“We have been able to identify some individuals that were involved,” Ferguson Police Chief Frank McCall told KMOV News. “The fact that you have individuals that might have assaulted each other or had been assaulted, we have to ensure that they are prepared and willing to prosecute.
“But the other thing is that we have Walmart as a victim as well, and I’m confident they’ll prosecute because they have some property damage as well.”
Walmart? A victim? Only in America.
At any rate, McCall indicated there was a disturbance prior to this fight, only for it to calm down … then erupt later. By the time police arrived, everyone involved had scattered.
“I think what we do want to do is have the opportunity to talk to the victims in question to confirm identification on the people that we believe that we have identified, and then we’ll take appropriate action at that time,” McCall said.
