An employee of a Wal Mart in NY was trampled to death by customers who broke down the doors and rushed in the store. A 34 year old employee of Wal Mart was knocked down and trampled to death by shoppers. Also several of the shoppers were injured and 1 pregnant woman was taken to the hospital for observation.

This is getting crazy. They need to stop this stuff.
 
i know i just saw that
that's so disgusting,
& so sad i feel really bad.
who would need something THAT BAD?!
im shure they have more stocked of that product you need.
i hope those people dont get away with that.



humanity has gone down hill :/
 
Actually, I think we need black friday this year more than any other year....with the economy and all that. What they do need to fix is the way stores operate things because people getting killed over this just isn't right.
 

The pregnant woman apparently lost her baby, too. :sad2:
Wrong on so many levels. There is NO way that some stupid deals could be worth all this.

That is so sad. It is not worth a discount on some item to lose lives. Simply ridiculous.
 
Oops scratch that, the baby is OK. Thank god for that.
But still sooo wrong, two people were shot and killed at a Toys R Us. :sad2: Ugh, this makes me sick.
 
I really hope these stores look at these incidents and change there minds about doing this next year. I doubt they will because everyone is all about the all mighty dollar.
 
wouldnt you feel really bad if it was you who trampled the guy?
i mean..not saying any of you would ever do it, but now those people have to live with that.
not that they care since they trampled the guy in the first place.
thats so sad.:sad1:
 
They need a rope drop.
Almost quite serious about that.
This disgusts me. A lot.
 
I heard that on the news this evening. It's so awful.
They definitely need to change the way the stores do Black Friday.
But I agree, it is important for our economy right now.

ITA. Black Friday is needed to boost our economy, but the procedures NEED to change. Y'know, like XYZ amount of people in the store at one time. No one should lose a life because of someone's stupid greed. :sad2:
Prayers for their families.


ETA - I think I should fix my explanation. What I mean is like have the people line up, and only let a certain amount of people in at a time. When one person leaves, another is free to go in. Yeah, we'll be controlled like cattle, but when you stampede and trample like cattle, you need to be treated like cattle.

That would work if the people would act lie human beings. The first person to try and cut up in line would start a holy mess. People can be so ridiculous. I love your cattle reference.

Big strong security guards! ;) And thank you.

Geeze Louise, a WalMart around here was evacuated! The police and a canine unit were called in, and I think the SWAT team was called in too. :sad2: :sad2: :sad2:

People will still finds ways to be disorderly.
 
Malls are a lot better. I worked at the mall this morning at 6 and people were pretty civilized. The Apple Store was crazy busy though.
