Black Friday Madness


A 34 year old WALMART employee was killed this morning as shoppers trampled over him. The Queens native worked at the Valley Stream store in LI, and was swarmed by anxious shoppers who could not wait for the doors to open. Two other people were injured including a pregnant woman. This is not the first black Friday incident that has occured at the store. My sister went to the store 3 years ago and gad to leave quickly because shoppers began fighting. I don't understand why people are so blinded by low prices they begin to lose all sense of judgment. I suggest sitting at home and shopping online. Why wait in the cold over night with no access to a toilet and snooze on the pavement. Sure the prices are great but do you need another 32 inch TV or the latest ipod for little Jimmy? Use that money and pay down your credit card or have a gift swap with friends. Americans are overindulgent no wonder we are in a state of disaster.

Once again you are right...I wanted a TV too but damn I'm not going to go that hard for one. Americans need to really get it together. Now a man is dead ove r a sale at Walmart. How freaking sad. May god bless the bastards who helped killed the poor, helpless man and who startled the pregnant woman (even though she should have known better)...
