Four Arrested for Riding “Emotional Support” Horses Through Walmart

It’s hard to come up with something ridiculous that HASN’T happened at a Walmart . . . especially now that THIS has happened.

Four people in Louisiana have been arrested, after they rode their HORSES through a Walmart last week.

It seems like it was just a stunt for 15 minutes of fame online.  One of the four men, Mason Webb, told the local news, “I mean, it was fun.  We were famous.  That’s all.  We didn’t want to hurt anybody.”

He also joked that the animals were, quote, “emotional support horses” . . . because in certain situations people CAN take their dogs and other animals inside.  The police didn’t think it was funny though.

Mason and the other riders are looking at charges of “disturbing the peace by violent and tumultuous manner” . . . and “unlawful posting of criminal activity for notoriety and publicity.”  At least one of the riders was a kid, so they’re also not the best role models.
