Walmart worker dies when trampled by crowd.

A worker died after being trampled and a woman miscarried when hundreds of shoppers smashed through the doors of a Long Island Wal-Mart Friday morning, witnesses said.

I feel bad for the guy because he worked there, but presumably this woman was far enough along that maybe she should have understood that it's not in the best interest of her health to be around other low-class hyenas who devolve into starved beasts fighting over scraps on Black Friday. I do think people lining up like this and rushing to their consumer goods shows the true depravity of modern civilization.

lol....I knew it. I swear I didn't click on it. I was talking to my supervisor yesterday about that store and how we were going to stay far far away from that area on BF.

Just sad

As a human being, you don't get any more fucking pathetic than that shit. I hope all the white trash that were involved go on to continue living shitty miserable lives.

Yeah I avoided it altogether. Taking a 9 month old would be bad, people bumping into us and all that. Not worth it.

But, but, but... shopping is PATRIOTIC.

Seriously, this is just a symptom of moral depravity running rampant.

That was my guess as well, so sad I have to say

Friggin animals.

They need to have cops out in front in hopes of being a deterrent to keep these savages under control. Microcenter does a great job of crowd control during these sales.

Another reason I hate to shop this time of year. Rude, ignorant, inconsiderate shoppers. Christmas spirit, yeah, right. That's just terrible.

Agreed. As much as I know it won't, I was kind of hoping that a recession would knock some sense into people, and make them realize that they don't have to spend every penny they earn plus some just to have new stuff, and that saving money might just be a good idea.

Obviously some people never learn. Maybe Wal-Mart will stop doing BF sales now because of this.

I don't understand why aal stores don't do a lottery/ticket system. When I went to get a launch PS3 at Hastings, they handed out tickets to anyone who showed up and at 12 they did a drawing for the amount of PS3's they had. No rushing, no long lines. Everyone just chilled out in the store until it was time

For Walmart? It's not like The Who was playing.

 

[TehMac]

That's fucked up. Who honestly does that? Sounds like a trashy neighborhood in general.

Wow...

That's pretty intense.....

How can people step on someone else without noticing? And like clear an area around them?

The hard part is you have to really whack'em with the shopping cart to get the front wheels to hop over.

You're doing it wrong. It's best if you can knock down children, midgets, anyone else of unusually small stature first. This way, you get kind of a ramp of bodies into the electronics department. Be sure to bring your Dukes of Hazzard air horn.

It would be funny as hell if there was someone inside the store the had a fully automatic gun that would kill all the fucktards rushing the store.

I hate frivolous lawsuits, but can retailers be held liable for setting up a dangerous situation that has resulted in injuries in previous years?

Not as long as they keep writing checks with the right number of zeroes to the senators.

Having sale prices is not a dangerous situation - the store can't be held responsible because people are idiots.

My parents came home empty-handed because 'thugs' were blocking the entrance way. I hope 'them' people diaf.

They basically told my parents, "Black Friday is for Black people." :roll:
