I couldn't believe this when I read it. Seriously, I didn't know the human race had deteriorated into savages.

I agree with most of what this person wrote (omitting the politics) even though their thoughts weren't very organized and it sounded a little like a rant. Still, what do you think?

I remember seeing this on various television stations and thought it would put the human race in shame (those who were at that particular Walmart) because they killed someone over Black Friday sales. He died.. he died over people trying to get presents and all kinds of electronic items. Maybe the store policies during that they were not enforced or they should have gotten more security. This should be a lesson for all of us to be careful and mindful of these sales and not to bomb rush any store worker over sales for products that will be made over and over.

Goodness.

That's absolutely horrid.
But that is not the question. Why we are here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in this immense confusion one thing alone is clear. We are waiting for Godot to come. -Beckett

I know, right?! I heard his family is suing walmart now. I would say good for them, but I'd rather the people who actually killed him get sued.

Funny how this article was posted by the user who told me Christmas wasn't a commercialized holiday of American greed.

Disgusting how someone can get trampled for something like a DVD player.
I heard that a woman had a miscarriage in the same store.

Of course, Obama is at fault. Not sure how, give me some time to figure it out but I figure if the liberals can hold Bush responsible for starting hurricanes, then I get to blame Obama for this.


That made me laugh.

Anyway, this is just stupid. People trampling this guy to death? Why on earth would you step on a man to get a stinkin' blu-ray player?

I wonder why it doesn't surprise me that this happened in New York.

I don't want to argumentative here, but, not all New York people are like this. It's a stereotype.


*sticks up for all New Yorkers'*

P.S. -- What happened here was horrible, people had to have known they were trampling some guy!
