If You’re A Woman Over 50, Walmart Is Now One Of The Most DANGEROUS Places Because…
If you’re a woman over 50, Walmart may be one of the most dangerous places you can go.
In recent months there have been a spate of attacks targeting older women. Most, but not all, were lone white women attacked in Walmart parking lots by black males.
The motive is robbery and most always involves purse snatching. The victims are apparently singled out as “soft targets”
The most serious attack occurred at a Covington, Ga. Walmart November 17. Reports say 65-year-old Marsha Johnson died after being run over by the same vehicle three or four times. The victim was loading groceries in her trunk when she was attacked.
CBS46.com reports, “Surveillance video showed the man watching Johnson as she put away her grocery cart and went back toward her vehicle. As Johnson tried to get into her vehicle, the suspect walked behind her and tried to grab her purse, the video showed. At first, Johnson doesn’t let go of her purse. The suspect pulls her to the ground, snatches the purse and jumped in his car.”
• More recently a robbery at a Birmingham, Ala. Walmart led to the arrest of Tavalues Johnson, 22. Trussvilletribune.com reports that “Johnson was arrested in connection with a robbery and assault of a 58-year-old woman at the Walmart located at 1600 Montclair Road.”
Johnson was one of two suspects, the report says, who dragged their victim to the ground and pulled her across the pavement causing injuries. Also arrested in the attack was Jarod Dorsey, 22. Both suspects have now been charged, the report concluded, and are in custody.
That attack occurred Nov. 19.
