In a different story I read on this crime the writer said that the police
are screening all the videos, but that it's unlikely they'll be able to
identify the perp/s and that WallMart was partially to blame as they opened
the doors to the crowd of more than 2000 people waiting to get in without
securing proper security roped off lines security guards, etc. I agree with
both points. It will be difficult to pick a perp out of a crowd that the
cameras weren't actually pointed at "*AND* management at that store
really should have known better than to have no security in place.
