Lottery winner’ causes riot at Ohio coat store Quote: COLUMBUS, Ohio - A woman being driven around in a rented limousine pulled up at a coat store and announced she'd won the lottery and would pay for everyone's purchases, police said, but she ended up causing a riot when customers realized it was a hoax. Angry customers threw merchandise around and looted, leaving the store looking as though a hurricane had passed through it, police said. Linda Brown was arrested Tuesday after an hours-long shopping spree that began when she hired a stretch Hummer limousine to drop her off at a Burlington Coat Factory store, police Sgt. Lt. Michael Deakins said. Brown walked to a cash register and loudly announced she had won the lottery and would pay for each person's merchandise up to $500, he said http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33319472...ews/?gt1=43001 __________________ Forum Rules The Thanks! button Spelling and the TTR How to insert a picture Using our search feature Copying and pasting articles TTR Advertising opportunities

"Everybody was like, 'I still want my free stuff,' and that started the riot," he said. "It looks like (Hurricane) Katrina went through the store." Katrina syndrome strikes again. I wonder how many of these idiots are still out there. So let me get this straight. Before the lady showed up, you were in the store, perfectly willing to pay for merchandise if you so desired? Where on God's green earth do you get off thinking you're entitled to free anything? Are you still waiting for that free gas?
