Dear Students,
There is hoax / rumor spreading on the
internet, via e-mail, text message, word of mouth, etc today about a “gang
initiation” at a Wal-Mart store in Virginia tonight. This rumor is
spreading around the state of Virginia and in some social circles on campus. The
messages contain a warning for people to stay away from Wal Mart Stores tonight.
These types of rumors spread quickly and this particular one has been around for
several years. Here is a web-site that is dedicated to these types of
things.

The place I went to pick up water and Gatorade last night?
Wal-Mart.
Way to tell me I could have been shot, Campus Safety. Way to fucking go.
