pathetic greed on black friday

one poor store clerk gets trampled, dies..shoppers are asked to stop and they dont claiming they ahve been in line for hours.

wow..after a day where we are supposed to be thkanful, demonstration of such lame behavior..things things things..

and then we hear about the shopper killing another at some toy store because they were fighting for the same item..merry friggin chrsitmas eh?

This will only stop if the mindless frenzy is just stopped.

walmart needs to be sued like anything for putting os employees/contractors in danger and for the loss of life, same for the other store where they could not protect the life of one shopper from being taken by another.

I am all for sales and all, but this black friday greed and lameness seems to be getting worse year afer year.

haumeradil -yeah its the day after thanksgiving

Mo3, wow..not sure how close you are to the area, but does it have some community impact?

Re: pathetic greed on black friday

I think there is a reason why its called black friday after all.

This is so stupid.

Re: pathetic greed on black friday

a true black friday in every sense especially those who lost loved ones. but then i'm sure this so-called civilized nation will find a way to forget and forgive simply bcos those killed were not part of their family.

Re: pathetic greed on black friday

seriously, wal-mart should be sued

truns out the shooting in california was two guys who shot each other. So, while they were victims they were teh perps at the same time.

the guy in walmart, a whole diff story.

crowd control is the responsibility for event promoters, you host and event and dont provide enough security and something goes wrong, you can be in trouble. I dont see why a sepcial event like a black friday sale at walmart should be considered any different.

Mubarak hu do ya teen muqadmat qaim hu chuky Wal Mart per :smiley:
