The Walmart at Telegraph Road and Interstate 255 has been evacuated as police and firefighters investigate an "active meth lab" inside the store, St. Louis County police said.
The store was open and full of customers when it was cleared about 6:15 p.m. Thursday after employees and then police discovered the possible hazardous situation involving the substances used to make methamphetamine, St. Louis County police Lt. Mark Cox said.
The chemicals were discovered after police were called about a shoplifter. Cox did not yet know details of the "lab," how it was put together or where in the store it was located.

So these shoplifters not only took the products from Walmart but opened them up somewhere in the store and began mixing up a batch of meth in a put together, temp lab? Something like that?

The balls ... er, sheer stupidity! ...of some people. Incredible.

Lately we've (I have anyhow) talked about the difference between intelligence and wisdom. Um, these people have intelligence enough to create a meth-lab, but the complete and TOTAL lack of wisdom about WHERE to create it.

Intelligence alone doesn't make you "smart". This is why there are lawyers, scientist, doctors, and other "professions" that require intelligence that may have it via tests, degrees, and JOBS, but have no god **** business being in their respective industry.

I meet / listen to these types of people every day.

Not many of you may know about this type of technology, but I liken these types of people to memcached. Basically these people survive on memory references alone. Completely incapable of deductive reasoning. In the real world, deductive reasoning is required to an effective decision maker. Otherwise your intelligence can't make wise decisions. Hence, these Walmart methlab operators.

I would say that there are two parts of wisdom that they lacked there. If they had any wisdom they'd know that just because they had the intelligence to make a meth lab doesn't mean they should actually make one.

Obviously these are all around stupid people.
