A Houston woman shopping at her local Walmart at 6 a.m. claims she was accosted by a knife-weilding man and put in a chokehold—and, she says, store security did nothing to stop him. "I'm inside the store and all of the sudden I'm being robbed," she told reporters. "I can't describe what I'm feeling. I'm shocked. I'm seeing my life flash before me. I'm seeing my children." This, following a report that a Utah man used a crowbar from Walmart to rob its electronics department earlier this week. [Consumerist]
