1. I think that's actually a pick-mattock

but I wouldn't argue with her. Anyway, it's not something one normally takes shopping.

2. Those are pretty useful for picking the rare ores one's finds on quests.

Maybe she’s LARPing a video game character.

3. fucking paranoid employees

Guess I'll have to check myself before taking my freshly purchased mattock pick from Ace Hardware into the pharmacy...

Gardeners beware: we're apparently public enemy number one now.

6. when all mattock picks are outlawed, only outlaws will have mattock picks.

12. Why wouldn't you put it in the trunk?

4. Shoplifting is bad, m'kay...

But she's less threatening to virtually everyone within many hundreds of feet of her than every open-carry or concealed-carry asshole out there...

Does FOX11 cover every public appearance and minor crime of *those* people with "shocking" headlines?... Or are FOX11's "shocking" headlines reserved for this kind of "those" people?

5. The local ABC here in Los Angeles covered it too. nt

10. If someone committed robbery while open carrying, I'd agree.

Open carry is simply stupid. Private citizens should carry concealed or not at all, IMO.

7. She's shoplifting while carrying an axe. It's a weapon, not a garden tool.

11. I don't think it's shoplifting when you have a weapon.

It's armed robbery.

8. You'll pry my pick axe from my cold dead hands

Weird.

9. "We have several choice items here on display."

"Would you like your pick???"

13. I miss the days when a line like the OP's title would almost always be the start of a joke.
