IF he could get the useless pepper spray, why didn't he go 1st class & get a Taser which is very disabling if the wrong PIG uses it & holds the trigger down?? hahahaha

How does one steal anything from Save-a-lot anyway, Just load up the cart & push it out the door un-noticed, up a ramp into the back of your pick up truck & leave the parking lot with a dirty muddy license plate??
& what is really worth stealing from there anyway?? Hmmmm.. OH I know, The small Alphabet pasta letters that you can add to your home made tomatoe or Chicken Noodle soup & then spell out your name before you eat them!! IF you can even SPELL!!

Howard if you are watching these posts I have to comment, I feel that both of John Simmons posts violate some of your rules established here. They are insulting and abusive and I dont know if anyone else feels the same but I feel they have no place here.

I am aware I am not perfect and have violated these rules at times as well but in the context of the subject's discussion passions can get the better of you. But this particular gentleman seem to be actively "trolling" especially in some cases where he does this then deletes his comments getting people at each others throats because the instigative comments are removed so that comments afterwards are taken out of context.

John's comment are often rude, insensitive and mean spirited, but often -- as is the case here -- not overtly aimed at specific individuals, so it's hard to call them personal attacks. I find the comments unfortunate, but have a hard time arriving at the conclusion that they violate the rules per se. They tend to reflect more poorly on Mr. Simmons than anybody else. And it's his right to leave that impression if he chooses. If people were responding to him and it was leading to arguments, I would likely take a different view, but other than getting a few thumbs down votes, his comments seem to rarely generate a response.

Free speech can get messy sometimes. As Howard said, many times the comment reflects upon the commenter more then the target. John can speak his peace just like anyone else, in my very humble opinion. He also should accept that someone might not like what he says. I think from what I've read in the past, that he understands this.

Mr. Simmons seems to have little respect for people on a limited income or no transportation, who might have no choice but to shop at Save-A-Lot.

Thanks for the response Howard these this morning seemed a little over the edge, but in general I believe you to be correct. But I just had to ask anyway cause thats how I am am put together and how my mind works. I found there is never any harm in asking...
