E-Mail from Customer Who Hates Wal-Mart:
"My name is CHRIS STEIN I am 22 years old. I did something very stupid last year. I walked into a wal-mart and stole a drill-bit, I wont go into why I stole the drill bit,but to make a long story short when I walked out of the store a 17-18year old kid grabbed me by the back of the shirt and statred screaming in my face and pulling me backwards by my neck and my shirt so I stopped and tried to start to give him the drill bit and someone he knew who wasn't an employee put me in a full nelson. I walked in the store totally willingly which is on vidoe which the judge didnt look at in court; I had gotten in an arguement with the kid while we were walking in the store and he said, "I'm going to charge you with robbery". I told him he doesn't have the authority to do that. He said talk to the cop when he gets here, but it's not going to help you because he's a freind of mine. When the cop came he told him that I punched him (he knew exactly what he needed to say to get a robbery charge. I ended up spending $3000.00 on what ended up to be a extremely bad attorney and got sentenced to 10 years in prison (first offense) and I spent another $7000.00 on appeal which is pending. Right after this happened the kid got moved from loss prevention to the men's section. That is awfully strange considering that this kid wants to become a cop. He also said in court that it was very violent and that I threw a lot of punches but his first statement said A PUNCH. There are a lot more problems with what they did!!!! IT WAS ALL ON VIDEO BUT THE JUDGE DIDN'T WATCH IT BECAUSE THE KID SAID THE PUNCHES HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE THE TAPE STARTED FILMING (yeh right). Write back on info so I can write to some one in the ranks at WAL-MART.

I HAVE HEARD OF WAL---- EXTORTING PEOPLE FOR MONEY AFTER THEY GOT CAUGHT FOR SHOP-LIFTING, SAW IT ON DATELINE. WALMART MADE MILLIONS OFF OF SHOP LIFTERS.

MY NAME IS CHRIS STEIN. THANKS"
