It doesnt shock me, me and the wife went out last year and we live in a smaller town(couldnt imagine the lines in a big town) and when we got inside walmart my wife got ran over by a cart, people were constantly pushing people and we even got hit in the head with boxes...after about 5 mins of being in the store I was pissed, my wife was pissed, we got the TV we wanted and went home. Its not worth it, people are idiots.....I would rather pay full retail price then to do that **** again.

the ones open 24 hours didnt have this problem but enough blame is here to go around for everyone:
- people acting like animals to save a few bucks
- commercialism at its worst
- big corp not anticipating and managing crowd control well

but the only good part of the story was left out; the 12 coworkers that risked their own lives trying to help


Other workers were trampled as they tried to rescue the man, and customers stepped over him and became irate when officials said the store was closing because of the death, police and witnesses said.

People are retarded.......[&o]
+1. The police should go back and review the camera's and prosecute each and every one of them involved. That'll teach retarded people to gather in mass numbers.
