From the Washington Times
Word quickly spread in the Louisiana towns of Springhill and Mansfield
that a food stamp glitch was giving recipients an unlimited balance on
their Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards, causing two local
Wal-Marts to be completely ransacked on Saturday night.
...
“It was definitely worse than Black Friday. It was worse than
anything we had ever seen in this town,. There was no food left on any
of the shelves, and no meat left. The grocery part of Wal-Mart was
totally decimated,” said Springhill Police Chief Will Lyn.
Over
the course of two hours, frenzied shoppers filled their carts with
everything they could get their hands on, but when the cards came back
online at 9 p.m., people abandoned their carts and left, the Daily Mail reported.
