No Wal-Mart-like Deaths/Shopping Stampedes Here…

You guys see THIS craziness?
From the article:
A Wal-Mart worker was killed Friday when “out-of-control” shoppers desperate for bargains broke down the doors at a 5 a.m. sale. Other workers were trampled as they tried to rescue the man, and customers shouted angrily and kept shopping when store officials said they were closing because of the death, police and witnesses said.
At least four other people, including a woman who was eight months pregnant, were taken to hospitals for observation or minor injuries, and the store in Valley Stream on Long Island closed for several hours before reopening.
Shoppers stepped over the man on the ground and streamed into the store. When told to leave, they complained that they had been in line since Thursday morning.
Nassau police said about 2,000 people were gathered outside the store doors at the mall about 20 miles east of Manhattan. The impatient crowd knocked the man, identified by police as Jdimytai Damour of Queens, to the ground as he opened the doors, leaving a metal portion of the frame crumpled like an accordion.
“This crowd was out of control,” said Nassau police spokesman Lt. Michael Fleming. He described the scene as “utter chaos.”
Aight, that’s just silly.
No shopping deal is worth dying over, especially not for anything that Wal-Mart has!
Even worse, you gotta despise the Wal-Mart PR person who managed to slip in their best deals into the NY Post article:
Items on sale at the Wal-Mart store included a $798 Samsung 50-inch Plasma HDTV, a Bissel Compact Upright Vaccum for $28, a Samsung 10.2 megapixel digital camera for $69 and DVDs such as “The Incredible Hulk” for $9.

CLEAN UP ON AISLE 7… DEAD EMPLOYEE
Crouds of people tend to make very stupid decisions.
This pisses me off so bad it is not even funny. We live in a county of ultimate consumers and combine that with a bunch of idiots which this country is mostly made of we get something like this. WHAT A JOKE!
what they should have done was locked all these fucking losers in the store and then blown it up.
they can take their stupid fucking $12 dvd players and walmart underwear and enjoy it in hell where they belong……
I been to a Wal Mart once in my life. The gorillas at the zoo are more civilized than the shoppers and workers.
I can not agree with you two more. Rumor has it at 4am the 2000 losers outside were chanting “LET US IN” “LET US IN” “LET US IN”! Some people better get put in jail for this one.
This is the roman empire again, self destructive behavior combined with apathy, means I’m shorting the human race.
I could not agree more with you Nojobmaui short the fucking human race. Are we as people this dumb? I mean where was a good citizen to help this man up off the floor? Where? No where. What a joke as you can tell this one really chaps my ass.

My feeling is they should have arrested every person that entered the store. They’re all to blame for the death.
