I think that $229 50" 1080p TV at Target by itself will be the cause of at least 2 people getting trampled or shot in the parking lot.

WHITE collar crime?

Saving $5 is saving $5.

Plus you have a 50/50 shot at a hefty lawsuit.

Breaking here in Socal...just teased on LA news...some craziness at a local Walmart going on, no word on any trampling deaths....fingers crossed.

Saw a couple reports of fights and injuries, but no deaths. Even the guy who was shot by cops is expected to survive.

Less madness is either a product of an improved society OR the deals weren't good enough to bring out the crazies. You decide.

The fact we're even having this discussion semi-seriously says a lot about what western culture has become.

how can you make that assertion, being that you are the first to respond? no discussion has been done yet.

btw, do canadians fall into the 'western culture' category?

Does any sort of shooting get counted no matter the outcome?

Pepper spray is not an "injury". Its an annoyance at best.
That ticker needs to be reduced by 40 points.

When you base an economic system almost completely (75% or >) on consumption, it shouldn't be surprising that BF is the end result.

Yes.

People in the USA just count as "western".
