Three additional syringes and needles have been found since last week, according to Bartow County Sheriff Clark Millsap.

In one report filed today, a Cartersville Walmart customer purchased a pair of pants over the Black Friday weekend and located the needle when the pants were first worn this weekend.

A second report came in just before 10:00 a.m. today where a female shopper found a syringe in a pair of men’s lounging pants.

While investigators were on the scene at this report, an assisting Walmart manager found a second syringe in another pair of pants.

In each of these new cases, no injury from being stuck by the syringes has been reported.

Walmart is working with the sheriff’s office to identify suspects and prevent customers from injury, according to the report.

The BCSO is asking anyone who may have purchased clothing items from the Cartersville Walmart in November or December to double check the items and ensure there are no syringes hidden inside.

If one is found, do not touch the syringe and contact law enforcement.

Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to call the Bartow County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division at 770-382-5050 ext. 6029 or 6030.

Persons wishing to give information anonymously may do so by calling the Cartersville-Bartow County Crimestoppers Line at 770-606-TIPS (8477).

Most terrorists born and raised in the USA in the past 30 years have been of the far right, looney tune, tea partier type not liberals. I suggest you look into that deep dark soul of yours and you will find someone just like you behind it or a strung out druggie or just a bunch of stupid kids that people like you raised. As far as unions go when you give up your paid vacations, sick days, osha to oversee job safety, 40 hour work weeks, child labor laws,and all of the protections unions have afforded you over the past 100 years then you come and talk to us about how great your slave labor life is.

WRONG AGAIN morn!!! Of all the deaths, injuries and property damage caused by domestic terrorist actions in the USA over the last 50 years, over 85% of them have come at the hands of LEFT-WING groups such as: Black Panthers, F.A.L.N. (Puerto Rican Nationalist Party), Weather Underground (which includes Bill Ayers the president’s buddy), the S.L.A., Ted Kaczynski (the Unabomer), the Earth Liberation Front (ELF), the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and Andrew Stack III who flew his airplane into the IRS building in Austin was a troubled leftist. The list goes on and on and on! Idiot!

If you live by the PC media outlets, Morn is correct. That is because patriots are labeled terrorists while liberals are labeled activists. If I don't agree with Morn's lifestyle, I'm intolerant. If Morn does not like mine, I'm still intolerant.

Watching too much South Park and Reno 911 has the same effect. morn is a bomb thrower who does not have the gonads or the intellectual aptitude to engage in debate. The best one can do is counter-post with facts and let the readers be the judge.
