Tragedy leads to no camping at Cottonwood, AZ Walmart
News from my home town. No camping/overnight parking We seldom park at Walmart etc... over night, but I do hate to see the opportunity to do so disappear.

I am NOT trying to reduce the blame for this "family," nor make any excuses for them. They are totally responsible.
WalMart allowed the "criminals" to stay on their property for an "extended" time. WalMart provided them a place to park, and a bathroom.
If this scum had been told to move on this may have never happened. They might have too busy looking for another place to live that they would not have had the time to assault an employee, and challenge the police.
I believe that allowing them to stay fostered a "This is MY place, and I will do what I want." Attitude. Similar to some long term tenants in an RV park. A sense of ownership, if you will.
Is WalMart creating an "attractive nuisance?"
If you read this forum "This is MY place, and I will do what I want." Attitude is hardly unique to long term residents. Also an over-nighter is not an attractive nuisance. That is unless you also consider the 250 pound women with yoga pants an attractive nuisance.
Walmart did not foster this criminal behavior anymore then they foster shoplifting because all the stuff on the shelves.
