Go talk to the loss prevention folks at Target , Lowe’s and HD too....it is what it is. You can’t say ‘Yay....we’re getting a super Walmart’ out of one side of the face and ‘...but it’s synonymous with crime’ out the other side!
You know where the most dangerous place in America was at 240pm on Saturday (for those minutes surrounding it)...that’s right...Leesburg!! Johnny, tell them what they’ve won!
