  • Illegal Mexican immigrant attacks 12 year old girl



    BARBOURSVILLE, W.Va. - One young shopper at a Wal-Mart in West Virginia had to watch out for more than falling prices.

    A 12-year-old girl picking up a seedless watermelon from a bin was stung Sunday by a tan, 2.5-centimetre-long scorpion that had apparently stowed away in a shipment from Mexico.

    Megan Templeton, of Barboursville, was taken to the hospital as a precaution but later released.

    Her father, William Templeton, says the pain was a little worse than a bee sting.

    He initially didn't believe his daughter when she said she had been stung by a scorpion, but then he saw the critter scurry underneath a box.

    It was captured by Wal-Mart employees.

    Most of the nearly 2,000 kinds of scorpions are not dangerous to humans.

    Richard Coyle, senior director of international affairs for Wal-Mart, said store employees believe the problem was with a single shipment of watermelons.

    "We are very concerned," he said. "This is a very rare incident. When I spoke with the store manager, she said in her 17 years she had never heard of something like this."





    Of course WalMart played a part in this.

        I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

          This is nothing but pure racist scandal mongering! Why blame the mexican scorpions? We have plenty of our own american scorpions that will sting people. My 12 year old daughter caught a baby one in our house and kept it as a pet for a while, then she set it free outside.

                Bah. It's much more fun to spill a ring of lighter fluid around one, light the lighter fluid and watch the scorpion sting itself to death.

                Torturing small, helpless creatures -- an American tradition since 1776.

                        Really? Just think about how tough you have to be to be a Canadian weasel. The beavers don't share their homes.
