According to police, Charles Smith, 27, entered the Walmart at 1955 S. Stapley Dr. on Dec. 19 intending to film pranks for social media platforms.

Instead, police said Smith grabbed a can of Hot Shot Ultra Bed Bug and Flea Killer from a shelf without paying for it and then sprayed the pesticide on various vegetables, fruit and rotisserie chickens that were available for purchase.

Smith recorded his face, the pesticide can and the act of him spraying its contents. He later posted the recording online.

Now, this could qualify as terrorism.

Not a single murder of a psychopathic indirect mass murderer CEO.

Doubt many CEOs shop at Walmart, otherwise it would totally be terrorism charges.

you'd be surprised. A fairly large number of them are quite miserly, even in their personal lives.

The CEO types have people who are responsible for filing the fridge and pantry. Those people probably shop at Walmart just like everyone else.
