Customers hit by pepper spray at Wal-Mart describe scene of chaos
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2011/11/at-wal-mart-peppe
Shoppers went to the Wal-Mart in Porter Ranch on Thursday night for the
Black Friday sale but instead were caught in a pepper-spray attack by a
woman who authorities said was "competitive shopping"Matthew Lopez went to
the Wal-Mart in Porter Ranch on Thursday night for the Black Friday sale but
instead was caught in a pepper-spray attack by a woman who authorities said
was "competitive shopping."
Lopez described a chaotic scene in the San Fernando Valley store among
shoppers looking for video games soon after the sale began.
"I heard screaming and I heard yelling," said Lopez, 18. "Moments later, my
throat stung. I was coughing really bad and watering up."
Lopez said customers were already in the store when a whistle signaled the
start of the Black Friday sale at 10 p.m., sending shoppers hurtling in
search of deeply discounted items.
Lopez said that by the time he arrived at the video games, the display had
been torn down. Employees attempted to hold back the scrum of shoppers and
pick up merchandise even as customers trampled the video games and DVDs
strewn on the floor.
"It was absolutely crazy," he said.
Another customer said screams erupted after about 100 people waiting in line
to snag Xbox gaming consoles and Wii video games got into a shoving match.
Alejandra Seminario, 24, said she was waiting in line to grab some toys at
the store around 9:55 p.m. when people the next aisle over started shouting
and ripping at the plastic wrap encasing gaming consoles, which was supposed
to be opened at 10 p.m.
"People started screaming, pulling and pushing each other, and then the
whole area filled up with pepper spray," the Sylmar resident said. "I guess
what triggered it was people started pulling the plastic off the pallets and
then shoving and bombarding the display of games. It started with people
pushing and screaming because they were getting shoved onto the boxes."
The pepper spray wafted through the air, Seminario said, and she breathed
some in and started coughing. Her face also started itching.
"I did not want to get involved. I was too scared. I just stayed in the toy
aisle," she said.
By the time she and her husband, 27-year-old Cesar Seminario, got to the
cash register 20 minutes later with a Wii gaming console and some Barbie
dolls, the air was still smelling of pepper spray, she said.
Wal-Mart employees were taking statements near the front of the store from
about eight customers who had been pepper-sprayed, Seminario said. "After we
paid, we saw five that were in really bad shape," she said. "They had been
sprayed in the face, it looked like, and they had swelling of the face,
really extreme swelling of face, redness, coughing."
Nakeasha Contreras, 20, of North Hollywood, said she arrived at midnight and
hadn't heard what happened. Even if she had, she said, she wouldn't have
minded: "I don't care. I'm still getting my TV. I've never seen Wal-Mart so
crazy, but I guess it could have been worse."
Joseph Poulose, who said he was hit with the spray near the DVD and video
games display, criticized the store for failing to control the crowds.
"There were way too many people in a building that size. Every aisle was
full," he said. Customers were stomping on photo frames and other items on
the floor, said Poulose, who tried to protect his pregnant wife from the
throng of shoppers inside.
"It was definitely the worst Black Friday I’ve ever experienced," he said. | M*********9
