[FONT=&quot]HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — People go shopping at all hours of the day and safety is something HPD said people should keep in mind. If you're concerned of being robbed HPD suggests shopping with a friend or family member. They said shopping in pairs can dramatically lower your chance of becoming a crime victim. HPD said if you're alone don't hesitate to ask stores to send an escort out with you. They said having your keys in your hand when you're walking to your car is another great reminder. But sometimes shoppers can be at the wrong place at the wrong time. On Sunday, February 12 shoppers at the Walmart on Sparkman Drive were in an unfortunate situation.

I have asked this before, several times, and can't seem to get a definitive answer.......

When, exactly, was America not great? Please tell me what criteria is used to determine if America is great or not.

Even in the lowest of times here in America, we were STILL head and shoulders above all other Nations in my opinion.

So, please tell me when we fell from "great" to need to be made great again.

Why do I get the feeling his(zero turbulence) answer will be deflection or allegations and yes,even alternative facts.

You just posted a perfect example. There was a time when the shopping center was part of our playground. Not so anymore.

Shopping safety has never been made easier. Simply avoid those stores that have dropped the Ivanka Trump line ... because that's where all the liberals will be. It's a win-win :).

I'm pretty sure no one here legally fears deportation. And should we laugh at the 'suckers' who came here legally while welcoming and protecting those who refused to do the same as the law-abiding immigrants?

I don't believe In mistreating Innocent people to protect Innocent people just because someone has caused a lot of fear to reign,either AMERICA Is the HOME of the BRAVE OR Its NOT.

IE
A police officer Is chasing a bad guy and hits a few Innocent bystanders In order to stay on the bad guy until back-up arrives.
Get the point I'm making?

Right let me see, safety tips when going shopping.

Wear flat shoes, you wouldn't want to trip up in heels while carrying all those
bags.

Dont go shopping after a large meal, you bum and stomache will definately look
"big in this".

Buy any heavy items just before you are going home, then you won't get a hernia
carrying them around all the other shops.

Make a list especially at Christmas, then there is less temptation to overspend.

If in the U.K, take an umberella, it keeps off the rain and its good for defending
yourself against people who try to walk over you and through you.

Go to the bank and/or cash points before doing any shopping, that way all your
hands, arms and concentration will be free to deal with your finances. Where
possible go inside the bank to the cash point, rather than an external cash point.

Take some spare bags with you, then you can avoid the steely glares of the
shop assistants instead of having to admit that gulp, yes I actually do need to pollute the
planet some more and buy another plastic bag.


Does that about cover it. :)

Don't forget, don't lock your car doors with the remote. Someone could have a scanner nearby, and pick up your remote's signal. They can then unlock your doors and steal stuff while you're in shopping.

My wife was very quick to learn, about eight years ago, to never use the remote to lock her car... not even at home.
