Black Friday 2010 Madness: Lanessa Lattimore Arrested – Shopper Accused Of Gun Threat – With all of the rushing around and unbelievable sales that Black Friday brought, there were bound to be a few incidents that went over the top, and this is one of them.
Recently a woman from Wisconsin was arrested for threatening customers outside a toy store with a gun in order to be first for the sales which were going on inside. Lanessa Lattimore is 21 years old and according to witnesses a confrontation ensued when she tried to cut in front of people in the line that started forming early on in the evening to get in the store.
By 10 pm there were hundreds of people lined up outside of Toys R Us, waiting for the doors to open.
Lattimore told CNN that although there were a number of people cutting in line, there was one woman who threatened her, so she came back with a threat of her own, telling her that she would take out a gun.
While she says that she is not a violent person, the police still saw fit to charge her with disorderly conduct. When numerous shoppers started to cut in front of her, she told them that she would take out her gun.
In the age that we we live in, guns killing our children you do not every threaten anyone with a gun. As a adult Ms. Lattimore at Toys R Us., has a child that is why she was there. And to tell anyone she will pull a gun is is WRONG. Yes she should go to court and have someone look into her parenting skills. And yes Iam a black Mother and wife. Wrong is Wrong. Ms. Lattimore was and is wrong.
