Anyway, what in blue hell were these parents doing leaving their kid in a Walmart parking lot? You don't just "run in to Walmart" the way you run into Macs. You can't see your kid through the front window. It takes at least 15 minutes to even buy a pack of gum in that store. How much trouble can a three year old kid get into in 15 minutes? He can figure out how to unlock the door and go for a walk. He can get kidnapped by one of the many creepy-as-fu*k people that lurk in the Walmart parking lot. He can find a quarter in in the seat cushions and choke on it. The fact that it was 30 degrees just makes an already idiotic situation much, much worse.
This is not an over reaction. Those people deserved more than their window smashed. In my opinion, of course.

I'm guessing by that time of night the heat wouldn't even have been the biggest issue anyway (which is still bad enough). Its the fact that the child of that age is unattended in a parking lot for at least 15 minutes as you've said. All it would take is for the kid to figure out how to unlock the doors and he could be running around the lot potentially getting hit by a car or abducted by some perv or molester.
Just terrible parenting.
