Local CBS affiliate KFSM Channel 5 just showed a video clip from a Wal-Mart in Malvern, Arkansas.

In the video, one Wal-Mart patron attacks another couple shopping in the store.

The weapon? An aluminum softball bat from the Wal-Mart sporting goods section.

The attack was very quick, very close, from the rear, and nasty.

The attack wasn't exactly random. The attacker was the estranged husband of the woman. The victim was the new boyfriend of the woman.

Apparently, the attacker is seen on other video from the store picking up and hefting other bats, including one in the toy section, before finally deciding upon his weapon, and then beginning his search for the couple.

No deaths, or even serious injuries...just bruises and cuts.

Anywhere, anytime.....stay alert....especially if you are the new boyfriend of a recently-estranged wife.........

If my ex- were seeing someone new, I would tell him to run for his life. But not because of me... :D
 
The beatee is pretty lucky. :eek: An aluminium bat across the temple will kill you pretty quick. It'll break arm and leg bones without a whole lot of force put behind it and ribs are a piece of cake.

The estranged husband probably didn't really have his heart in the attack or the boyfriend would be dead. Bats are really, really effective weapons up close. I'd much rather be shot than clubbed with a ball bat.
 
In the video, the attack is brutal.

It comes from behind. The bat hits the victim across his shoulder blades.

It is not a half-hearted love tap, by any means.

The guys rears back and hammers on the victim. He just hits him right across the upper back with it.
