WTF Wal-Mart Headline Of The Day
Quite frankly, we are stumped...
- *WAL-MART SUED BY TRINITY CHURCH WALL STREET OVER GUNS, MUSIC
And rock'n'roll?
Bloomberg provides a little more color...
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest retailer, was sued by shareholder Trinity Church Wall Street, which seeks to force the board to exercise greater oversight of high-capacity weapons and sexually charged music.

Another gun control stunt?
And that music kids listen to these days - Satanic, I say.
Well as long as there is sex and drugs I can do without rock n roll
DeBlasio behind this?
wait...........it's a church.
nevermind
CHINO, Church in Name Only.
Churches with high capacity pews are anti-constitutional.

When Desmond Tutu says its fucked, it's fucked
Walmart allows people to camp in its parking lot overnight.
How long before some degenerate camper commits a crime and deep-pocket Walmart gets sued for facilitating the criminal?
Peak lawyers
I thought they found the Treasure of the Knights Templar under the church ? What do they need investments for ?
Nice work...if you can get it.
So they dont want us to have high cap mags, but they are cool with the government been able to destroy the world 10 times over with nukes, this church must be 501c3 and have taken the 30 pices of silver.
As long as there are guns you can do whatever you want.
No Sex, No violence? If you think the economy is bad now, just wait....
Sex is violent.

If we force unionization of all ZH bloggers I think we can go for all three here...
JPM - Sent you a request via ZH. If you don't get it or notice it email me at angus@hush.com
No worries, I separate the wheat from the chaff on that email.
I would suggest a first of April stunt...
The problem is, there is so much DERP in the world today, it's tough to tell. It would be funny if it is, and sad if it isn't.
Hmmmm, April Fools
Just a stunt to get stupid believers to give money to the church.
What a scam.
Wal Mart should stop selling Bibles to really piss em off!
"Kill all the lawyers." Shakespeare
Nah - Trinity's a Whiskeypalian Church. Walmart screwed up by refusing to pay Trinity's property tax bills for the year, so now its the Devil's Hairpiece (Hell Toupee) for the Waltstones. Waddaya expect when you're (literally) at the top of Wall St.?
Walmart..
Destroyer of local economies, rapist of local business and profit whore deserves to be sued. Then we should do the same to the church...all churches.
Personal preference like owning something, listening to something, not so much.
They keep dishing it up , cause the people keep eating it.
RIPS
Same Bill of Rights that keeps the church's doors open and tax free says the right to bear arms shall not be INFRINGED.
"Trinity is located near Zuccotti Park, the location of the Occupy Wall Street protest. It has offered both moral and practical support to the demonstrators but balked when church-owned land adjoining Juan Pablo Duarte Squarewas demanded for an encampment." - wikipedia
Lock and load and rock and roll.
Catchy. I like it.
Note* Why don't they just sell the stock? Is money more important than principles?
Send lawyers, guns, and money, the shit has hit the fan.

Governmart..
Probably another socialist shakedown.
I wonder if this church habitually stands up and claps whilst swaying side to side in a loud and passionate manner?
HArdly, there you are as WASP as it gets.
You apparently don't know what that acronym means, or at least are unfamiliar with the middle two lettters.
WASP is redundant. Deliberate cloaking out in the open. One cannot be Anglo-Saxon without being White. What they really are are ASPS, more recognizeable for the poisonous legless bastards that they truly are...
I wonder if they fall to the ground and convulse whilest speaking gibberish.
Bullish for medical services.
But every day low wages are a- ok.
I thought they were suing because the unions have successfully kept Walmart out of NYC, forcing all to pay higher prices than necessary.
Maybe the church needs another renovation. Got to keep in the publics mind. Or get the money the American way....sue.
yeah...where are the high capacity mags Walmart?...all I ever see are huntin' guns...no tactical whatsoever....I may join the suit....
Saw Windham and S&W there the other day
Probably sold out.
I'd suggest this is a strong competitor for headline of the day - http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/01/krablr-raises-5-million-with-sequoia-pa... - real-time crab pricing raises $5 mil??? Aims to turn crabbing into the next bitcoin?
Fonestar is going to get the crabs?
Doubtful, that would require interaction with real-life icky girls. Or boys.
Teg Nugent is gonna love this one.

We don't have any hi-cap weapons. Dave's not here either.
Dave? I'm looking for my Labrador Black...
Dave? Dave's not here.
NO, Man. I'm Dave. Let me in.
(We probably lost 90% the people here with this)
+1 Dave. Dave's not here. They will get it now.
Knock knock...
Does this church even know what a trinity is? Left that opportunity to go wanting....
Here kitty kitty. Here CAT!!!
http://malnurturedsnay.net/files/wtf-cat.jpg
But not a word from them about usury or slavery.
Because the church is located in the Financial District.
Or selling goods (including Christmas decorations) made by Chinese heathens...
Trinity, is that three snakes or four?
I see few if any guns at Walmart in the metro areas. You must go to rural areas to find Walmarts with any real amount of guns...or ammo. I was told by a sales clerk that Walmart was limited by the government as to what and how many they could sell, but I have seen no proof of that. If anything I believe they are purely self serving, trying to keep it on the down low regarding gun sales, especially anywhere near the hood.
Lol. Yep. The walmarts around me in a super red state do a booming business in black scary guns with large magazines and all the bells and whistles an armchair survivalist covets.
I have a few myself. You cannot beat their prices.
Last time I went to Wal Mart there was a bum standing in the middle of the doorway moving side to side so I could not enter without being accosted. It was disgusting. I'll never go back.
1 down, many to go. More ammo 4 me!!!!
MATTHEW 10:35 from the "GOOD BOOK":
Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 "For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law angainst her mother-in-law.
Personally, I would feel much better if the police and alphabet agencies beat their swords into plow shares first.
The Following
Wal-Mart should counter-sue them for wearing outrageous wizard costumes in public and spreading lies about an imaginary sky monster.
they own a good chunk of lower west side of manhattan, goes back to 1730's.... very unheralded real estate titans, must be heavy in WMT for their old money trust clients?
A church on Wall Street? I wonder how Jesus would react to something like that?
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7aRXWzekKLI/TS53ImwniVI/AAAAAAAAJQ4/GwE5Zj68LQ...
I bet their confessional gets some heavy traffic. Also, would be a nice secluded sport for a key bump.
Me thinks the Church is responsible for much more pain, suffereing, and death, than any weapon or music purchased at Wal-Mart.
These guys have a $2 billion portfolio though, and in a lawsuit last year it became clear that the parishoners want the investments used to push their believes down upon their investments. Some lawyer has quite the teat to such dry with this group of churchgoers.... http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/25/nyregion/trinity-church-in-manhattan-i...
"Me thinks the Church is used as an excuse for much more pain" . . . . Alternate version
I wonder how much of that portfolio will be siphoned away by litigation fees. Walmart will extend this case to inifinity, there won't be a legal judgement before Judgement Day.
I can't believe that I'm rooting for Walmart, I feel dirty.
The Reverend at Trinity (James Cooper Sr.) was one of our neighbors back in the 80s. To say that he is an incredible douche is an insult to douches. It does/would not suprise me at all that this bozo is part of this. The parishoners never could figure out how to get him the heck out of our church until finally some members of the congregation with some big $$$ called in some favors and made some big contributions to the head office (a couple of years after he left the church built a school, recreation hall and a four story parking garage). In the true spirt of religion he and his family used to take advantage of an elderly widow in the neighborhood that was a parishoner. She may have been trying to buy her way into heaven but Cooper and his family took full advantage of her and soaked her for everything from expensive meals to international trips (guess he missed/skipped the section of the "vow of poverty" as do a number of the Catholics). I hope Wal-Mart has a platoon of attorneys that are members of the tribe that pick them clean. Hopefully that will happen as it could not happen to a nicer group of people. Idiots.
Becoming a religious leader is the easiest path to success for a sociopath. They don't even have to get creative, just repeat the lies laid out in church doctrine with a little more fear-mongering for added effect.
Seems you aren't kidding...
September 14, 2013- The FiDi subcommittee of the CB1 met to discuss the controversial plans of the Trinity Church to build a residential and cooperate skyscraper across the street for the historic church. This is far from the first controversy that church leader, Reverend James Cooper, has stirred up.
The Catholic Church usually comes to mind when one thinks of large landowners in Manhattan, but the Episcopal Anglican Trinity Church is the richest of them all, according to The NY Post. The article lists all of the properties held by the church, ranging from the site where the skyscrapers are planned to the reverend’s personal SoHo townhouse worth more than $5 Million. The total portfolio is worth more than $1 Billion.
According to the article, “Today, Trinity’s holdings — in addition to the church and nearby St. Paul’s Chapel — include 14 commercial buildings in the Hudson Square area of Manhattan. The revenue from the rents is some $200 million a year, which pays the operating expenses of the commercial properties and funds the operations of the church.”
The Post article portrays the reverend as man spending less on charitable mandates than on his pawn profligacy. The 67-year-old Cooper was paid $1.3 Million in 2010, including perks such as a Florida condo with maintenance fees, and African safaris paid for by the church.
The 22-mmeber board of the church has been upset, and half of them have either quit or been ousted. Cooper planned to step down, then reconsidered, subsequently targeting the members who criticized him.
Despite the largess of real estate possessed by the church and millions spent each year of PR campaigns, Reverend Cooper leads a small flock. One person counted only 49 people in the pews, then noticed that the church reported 113, counting tourists who wandered in.
Why doesn't the church use some of that real estate to house the poor?
any lawsuit against wallmart is ok by me
Great ad for Walmart! I'm going shopping today!
Hehe. Is that Pablo?if it is my story is that I spent time in medellin when your avatar was rising thru the ranks. Noce little burb. It got a little crazy after I left.
Cocaine 10 bucks a gram. So fresh and pure you could still smell the acetone.
Thank god I was poor or I would likely have been dead. Lol
Globalism is the greatest threat to humanity since it wipes out nationalism and with it local and cultural identity which allows for the morality of the individual to be a guiding force.
We are doomed if the NWO succeeds (and so are they).
Walmart should ask for summary judgment and court costs.
The case is guaranteed to be dismissed and will never go to trial, but Walmart is too sensitive about being a "corporate bully" to ask for court costs and punitive damages for a frivolous suit.
Trinity is the bully filing the frivolous suit. Doctors arent sued as much as we used to be, because we will destroy you and your attorney financially if we can. Trying to be nice got us nowhere.
You forgot that Walmart is a shitbird.
"We'll take your guns and your music."
"OK, OK, just your guns."
Too bad the churches are totally silent about invading countries that are absolutely no threat to the US and murdering millions while driving millions more into refugee camps.
Oh, wait that's right, it's wrong to kill a child in the womb, but after they are born the US can kill as many of them as it wants.
Wall St has a church? Church of Satan.
Why else would they empty the 7th Ave Expess train under it? REMIND those people, Preacha! They ah the TURDS in the InTestine of the Beast!
(Shit! I missed my calling...)
Well isn't that special.
How about no more tax exempt status for these fucking churches.
Especially the corporate mega-churches and their cartoon padres.
At this rate we'll scrape through the bottom of the barrel in no time.
