Cops: Louisiana Couple Recorded Explicit Acts At Public Library, Walmart, Burger King

September 19, 2017 Burger King , Cops: Louisiana Couple Recorded Explicit Acts At Public Library 0 Comments


By The Smoking Gun, Sep. 18, 2017

A married couple is facing obscenity charges after they allegedly filmed themselves having sex in a Louisiana public library and then uploaded the video to their PornHub page, according to police.

Investigators last week received a “report of lewd activity that occurred within a public library” in Houma, a city about 55 miles southwest of New Orleans. The suspects, cops charge, “recorded themselves performing sexual activities on each other and uploaded them to a porn site.”

A subsequent probe identified the alleged library fornicators as Elizabeth Jernigan, 33, and her husband Rex, 35.

Why Walmart Will Keep Selling Guns

By MJ Lee, Jun. 25, 2015, CNN

(CNN)Confederate flags are off the shelves at Walmart. But still up for grabs: guns.

Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, was the first to announce plans this week to remove Confederate flag products from its stores after Dylann Roof killed nine African-Americans in a Charleston, South Carolina church. The company was hailed by many for quickly responding to the uproar over the flag. But it has since come under pressure to also stop selling guns in response to the nation's latest mass shooting.

"I would hope that stores like Walmart would recognize the danger of having these guns displayed right next to an aisle away from microwave popcorn and and Xbox games," said U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat who has pressed for gun control since 20 children were shot and killed at a school in his state in 2012. "I'm not terribly confident that a 21-year-old Walmart clerk is going to sell guns responsibly or be able to give customers the kind of advice they need on how to responsibly use that gun."

The debate over the Confederate flag has also raised broader questions about where the line should be drawn for retailers that sell other questionable or offensive products.

Walmart Selling Iranian, Cuban Flags 

By Adam Kredo, Jun. 24, 2015, Free Beacon

Walmart continues to sell the Iranian and Cuban flags, as well as artwork depicting the Cuban dictator Fidel Castro urging people to “liberate” Cuba, according to the super store’s website.

Amid a growing controversy over the sale and display of the Confederate flag in such stores, Walmart continues to sell the official flags of Iran and Cuba.

The Iranian flag, which was created in the wake of the Islamic Revolution that brought extremists into office in 1979, is being sold online at Walmart.com for a price of $54.89.

The Iranian flag is “suitable for parades or indoor display,” according to the product description.

The Cuban flag also can be purchased for $13.75, according to the website.

“This seaworthy international courtesy flag can be used on ocean going commercial or private vessels,” according to the product description.

Walmart Kicks Off Next Phase Of Wage Increases

By Anne D'Innocenzio, Jun. 2, 2015, KESQ

Walmart is raising starting wages for more than 100,000 U.S. department managers and workers in its deli and other specialized departments.

The moves mark the next wave of wage hikes by the nation's largest private employer, which has been under pressure from labor-backed groups for the treatment of its workers. In February, it announced it was increasing minimum wages for entry-level and long-term hourly employees to at least $10 by next February. That increase affected 500,000 of its 1.3 million U.S. workers.

The wage hikes are part of a $1 billion program at Walmart that also includes improving training and offering employees more control of their schedules. The company is hoping that by investing in its workers, its customer service will improve, and ultimately that will encourage shoppers to spend more, helping to perk up sluggish sales at its U.S. division.

In February, Walmart said it would be raising wages for its department managers but didn't offer many details.

By CBS Houston, Feb. 18, 2015, Houston.CBSLocal.com

DEER PARK, Tex. (CBS Houston) – A shopper and an employee at a Walmart store got into a brawl last weekend when the customer head-butted the employee.

“I hope I broke her nose,” Jessica Albitz, the customer involved in the brawl, told KPRC-TV. “I hope she has two black eyes, and I hope she remembers me for the rest of her life.”

Albitz told KPRC that the fight was a result of bad customer service during her tax session at a Jackson Hewitt inside the Walmart.

“She started talking trash at my husband,” Albitz added.

Walmart Drops Health Benefits For Most Part-Time Workers
By Anne D'Innocenzio, The Associated Press, Oct. 7, 2014, Dailyfinance.com

NEW YORK -- Walmart Stores (WMT) plans to eliminate health insurance coverage for most of its part-time U.S. employees in a move aimed at controlling rising health care costs of the nation's largest private employer.

Starting Jan. 1, Walmart told The Associated Press that it will no longer offer health insurance to employees who work less than an average of 30 hours a week. The move, which would affect 30,000 employees, follows similar decisions by Target (TGT), Home Depot (HD) and others to eliminate health insurance benefits for part-time employees.

"We had to make some tough decisions," Sally Wellborn, Walmart's senior vice president of benefits, told The Associated Press.

We are trying to balance the needs of [workers] as well as the costs of [workers] as well as the cost to Walmart.Wellborn says the company will use a third-party organization to help part-time workers find insurance alternatives: "We are trying to balance the needs of [workers] as well as the costs of [workers] as well as the cost to Walmart."

The announcement comes after Walmart said far more U.S. employees and their families are enrolling in its health care plans than it had expected following rollout of the Affordable Care Act. Walmart, which employs about 1.4 million full- and part-time U.S. workers, says about 1.2 million Walmart workers and family members combined now participate in its health care plan.

Walmart Faults Tracy Morgan For Not Wearing Seatbelt In Limo Crash

Injuries suffered by Morgan and fellow passengers "were caused, in whole or in part, by plaintiffs’ failure to properly wear an appropriate available seatbelt restraint device," company says in legal filing

Walmart said Monday that comedian Tracy Morgan and several others injured in an accident on the New Jersey Turnpike in June were partially responsible for their injuries, for failing to wear seatbelts.

A speeding Walmart driver allegedly hit Morgan’s limo on June 7, badly injuring the comedian and killing friend and colleague James McNair. Morgan and three others brought a suit against the company in July, alleging that driver Kevin Roper was fatigued and that Walmart acted negligently.

In a response Monday, the company largely refrained from responding to the allegations brought in the suit, citing National Transportation Safety Board regulations regarding ongoing investigations.

But in a list of affirmative defenses, the company said that the injuries “were caused, in whole or in part, by plaintiffs’ failure to properly wear an appropriate available seatbelt restraint device.”

“By failing to exercise ordinary care in making use of available seatbelts, upon information and belief, plaintiffs acted unreasonably and in disregard of plaintiffs’ own best interests,” the response says.
