| Wal-Mart shopper attacked after imitating crying baby |
| 2002-12-17 |
| Prosecutors said a Kansas City man shopping at a Wal-Mart store grabbed a baseball bat from a shelf and attacked a man who had made a remark about a crying baby. The victim, David Holbrook, 41, of Bonner Springs, suffered head injuries that required 14 stitches, as well as a broken rib and bruised kidney. The store's surveillance camera recorded the attack, authorities said. There goes the "wudn't me" defense... Jefferson Uta, 26, the bat wielder, declined to talk to detectives without a lawyer, according to court records. And merry Christmas to you, too, you rat bastard. Cheeze, this is so heart-warming... No, wait. It's the chili. |

| #3 Walmart, God Bless them, has a policy of not settling out of court. They fight each and every battle in court. At least that was the policy a few years ago, I can't be positive today. |

| #2 I read an article in USA Today once that said Walmart was sued 4851 times in 2000, which is like a lawsuit every 2 hours. But that was only good enough for second place behind the U.S. government, checking in with over 7000. Gotta love them lawyers. |

| #1 I'm hoping he'll successfully attempt a "driven mad by crying baby" defense, which is going to be sooooo useful to me. |
