The accident is unfortunate, but a person here makes a big accusation. Who did Wal Mart hire locally to help with the renovations? What did you witness them stealing? I find it very sad that a person would come here and put down local contractors and accuse them as criminals on a thread like this.

I am very sorry to hear about this man death. Walmart did hire local people and from what I witness all they did was steal.

sorry about the man's death but my question is why are they not using local people instead of importing people. we have plenty of local contractors that can do the work and need they income. just another reason in my book to dislike walmart.
