Lottery hoax causes riot at Ohio coat store

The topic has gone so far off-base it's ridiculous, and this started when some moron somehow decided President Obama was partially to blame for what happened at the Burlington Coat Factory. How stupid are you anyway

By virtue of granting certain powers to the federal government, some states' rights are restricted or prohibited axiomatically. States' rights are also restricted by most of the Bill of Rights.

Absolutely not. The feds were given very specific powers. Those not delegated specifically to the federal government were reserved for the states. The Tenth Amendment makes that very clear. The states are supreme in most any given circumstance. The fact that the feds have been running roughshod over states' rights for years does not negate that fact.

That's true as written, but I'm not sure if what you wrote reflects your intended meaning. The Constitution was intended to limit the power of the federal government and make sure it couldn't trample state rights, but it was also intended to restrict state's rights. The result is a document that over time has done a fairly good job of balancing power between the states and the federal government.

Or if the race baiter in you, is still in you, 3/5 X 1/2 = 3/10 3/10+ 1/2 = 8/10 white or 4/5ths white according to the old 3/5ths rule of whiteness... [ More ]

Well, one of the things that's wrong with some of them is that they can't undertand what they read, even when it's extremely simple.

According to you those worth only 3/5th should have kept their mouths shut and accepted the status quo.

Emergency room care is catastrophic care. And for your information, many emergency rooms now charge on the spot. The last time I went to one, I had to pay 50 dollars BEFORE they would treat me!

It's obvious, those who choose to shop at Burlingtons are price conscious and trying to save money while shopping for their needs. I would thing that going to this story to help people who are obviously trying to save a buck, who can't afford or can only afford to shop there would be the people who can use a helping hand.

And, if she had won that amount of money, the money would have gone along away and helped more people then say helping some hobnob snob at Tiffany's.

Why would they not be in a position to criticize Maddogg?

The last time I checked this was America, Maddogg has a RIGHT to say what he wants, and people have a RIGHT to criticize or applaud his view.

i dont think he/she was poking fun at those who shop at Burlington Coat Factory. But the fact that a lottery winner would shop at a place that sells clothes that have been sent to them due to excess inventory, lack of sales and appeal. Hence why he/she said open your eyes to those who were tricked by this crazy woman - since things didnt look right from the start.

What's wrong with Burlington Coat Factory? I haven't been in one, in over 5 years, but what is so wrong with shopping there? Do you only shop at high-class, Beverly Hills stores

Wow, kind of hurts my feelings. I have shopped there and the coat I got I use 20 years later. Easy to spend a lot. I used to live 1 mile from that store and it waconvenient. Lots of desperate and greedy people out there. Funny people think things could actually be free though.Guess we need to sing Peanut Butter Jelly Time to cheer up.

No she didn't, Obama was supposed to write her a stimulas check for her vote, but hasn't gotten around to her, because he's jet setting around the globe with his Obamanites in tow...!

This woman needs help like the rest of this country.

Brown, 44, was arrested on three outstanding warrants for aggravated menacing, misuse of a 911 system and causing false alarms. She was jailed late Wednesday, but no charges had been filed against her related to the coat store chaos pending a mental health evaluation.

It's obvious to me she's not running on all cylinders. This story is so funny. It's incredible that people would have the nerve to run out of the store with coats they didn't pay for. Apparently, if someone says they'll pay for... [ More ]

When I saw this on world news last night I thought, how psychotic she looked. Did she not think of how much trouble she was getting herself into? But then I thought, maybe she had a dream that was so real, she actual thought she had won. OR She had the actual winning numbers on an old ticket and thought she actually won. OR

SHE WANTED ATTENTION!!

I pray that God helps her through what ever her problem is.

It would have been even more insane if she actually had won the 1.5 million.

Giving $500 each to 1500 people would have taken most of her after tax winnings.

She hired a limousine and then went to a Burlington Coat Factory? That should tell you something right there

Lottery hoax causes riot at Ohio coat store

Lottery Post — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:12:55 GMT

Includes video report

A woman being driven around in a rented limousine pulled up at a coat store and announced she'd won the lottery and would pay for everyone's purchases, police said, but she ended up causing a riot when customers realized it was a hoax.

Angry customers threw merchandise around and looted, leaving the store looking as though a hurricane had passed through it, police said.

Linda Brown was arrested Tuesday after an hours-long shopping spree that began when she hired... [ More ]
