Black Friday Trampling Deaths At Walmart

things like this make me think...

If you had a Browning .50 cal and a lot of bullets, it'd be REALLY hard to miss. It would also be a bit less indiscriminate than a blowtorch. Then you could loot the bodies, pay for the man's funeral, and give the rest of the coin to his family.

I would be very tempted to buy a cakes too though.

Anther reason why Black Friday and christmas doesnt mean a thing to me.

Woke up this morning and visited my friends who work at the mall and left.

Pointless Shopping for a Pointless Holiday, No Thanks.

[Guest greyhalo]

So sad. I can't imagine how this guy's family members are going to feel for the holidays.

HOLY CRAP!

About fifteen Black Fridays ago, I had an old woman literally get into an argument with me, over a jacket I'd picked out for my great grandmother at Dot's.

She saw it in my buggy and wanted it (first trying to sweet talk me into handing it over to her, which I wouldn't), so she tried to tell the sales associate I had taken it out of her buggy! I couldn't believe it!! Luckily, I had witnesses who saw what had really happened, or I think the salesgirl would have believed her. People are really fucked up.

You couldn't even pay me to walk into a department store right now. I hate rude holiday shoppers. I just want to kill them all. I'm so glad I no longer believe in purchasing gifts. I would rather give homemade things.

P.S. Arkansas is the armpit of the U.S.A., anyhow-- that's where all the inbred hill people come from, not W.V.

F'ing consumerism...

I think Walmart should be held responsible. Their Black Friday tactics are what caused this tragedy.

It sickens me.

[honeymustard02]

Yea I was leaving as our doors were opening up ( i work at wally world) and it fucking sucked because they just flooded in. They dont care. They want those great deals. One guy almost bulled me over before I jumped back behind a drink cooler lol!

[TitsMcGee]

I just don't understand how people are so rude and inconsiderate when sales are involved. I went into walmart yesterday for grocery shopping and thankfully by the time I got there in the afternoon it wasn't so bad.

[Head Wreck]

its getting that bad here.

one particular Christmas eve shopping for " last things" at ASDA (owned by walmart) when i got jabbed sharply in the ribs by a trolley whilst i was pushing my mother up the isle in a wheelchair. i turned round to see a short old dear with a furious look on her, not what i expected, so i just stood there stunned. in which time the jabbed the cart into me again.

if it had been anyone else the trolley would have been knocked back flattening the offender but guarenteed thats the only thing that people see. and i dont really want to knock an old lady flat on her back, or any lady for that matter

[freydis]

people really stink.

i HATE holiday shopping.

it makes me homicidal and xenophobic.

[Tacohitts]

This is an example of inconsiderate idiots running amok.

[Reaper]

That is why I did all my black friday shopping online thru dell and best buy. Later in the day I went to Best Buy to buy some things after the rush. I still got what i wanted.

[Nienna]

Yeah, apparantly a pregnant woman was severely injured and lost her baby in that same stampede. It pretty much reinforces my choice not to do gifts for X-Mas anymore. That and my hatred for Walmart and general disdain for the general public.. lol

[aequorea]

this is really upsetting to me.

never thought i'd hear myself say this... but i agree with you 100% gaf!!!

if they are expecting crowds of people, then there should be crowd control measures in place... barriers, lines, maximum capacity enforcement, etc. i find it distasteful that there should be a need for those measures at a store, but it's absolutely unacceptable to encourage mobs.

i was so disappointed when i heard that walmart bought out asda!

i refuse to shop at walmart, sams club, or any associated businesses... so now when i'm visiting family in the uk i have a hard time finding groceries!

sad to hear that rampant rabid consumerism is a problem everywhere (but again, not really surprising).

[deathfearsnone]

I go to Cedar Point late in the year to aviod rowdy teens and farting seniors.

Theres hardly any lines and I love it.

I dont like people so I dont go anywhere thats crowded if i can go later and its empty, except CC.

If punk rock still existed, there'd already be half a dozen songs about this.

[Brenda Starrr]

I'm so glad to be out of retail. It really IS the Devil. It ruins what the holidays are supposed to be about: FAMILY and FRIENDS.

Christ.....

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

right... and Christ.

[Brenda Starrr]

right... and Christ.

Word.

[Mean Salley]

right... and Christ.

lol, nice I didn't know if anyone else caught that, wasn't sure if that was a pun or not.

[Tuomaaca]

*pukes*

While it's true Wallmart didn't have crowd control in place, every person that stepped around the dead man should go to jail (or be shot).

*pukes again*

[Homicidalheathen]

Humans disgust me. The greed and malice...I am sooo sick of it.

I did my holiday shopping at Micheals a month ago as I am MAKING all of my gifts and NOT giving into this nasty ass xmas shopping culture.

I hate it. I hate what xmas has become.

xmas xmas xmas

xmas seems apporpriate as it has nothing to do with christ.

[Bernadette]

I didn't believe when I heard about it. How awful!

What's with people?!

If you work retail, and this time of year especially, have to put on your game face to deal with some custys! WHOA.

Pushy, pushy...and RUDE.

And it REALLY makes you appreciate those that are friendly and patient.
