Union activists and former Walmart employees are expected to begin protesting in an action they call “A Walmart Black Friday Strike”. Events will be going on all day and you can probably expect arrests and pepper spraying to occur at different points during the day.
In the past, these Black Friday actions have brought little disruption, lots of laughs and very few actual Walmart employees (as most are satisfied to just have a job in Obama’s America).
As always, newer events are posted to the top of the thread and while the thread may get image heavy, I’ve done a lot of optimization to the webserver to keep it from being burdensome. With that being said. Only the first few images will ever be displayed on the front page and most will be after the break.
