When I heard that a man(a Wal-mart employee) was trampled to death when he opened the doors on Black Friday by a mob of people trying to get the best deals, i was absolutely disgusted! No one had the common courtesy to help him up?! or NOT step on him? I actually said I bet this happened somewhere in the Northeast(no offense to anyone from the new york or new england area) but they tend to be more selfish, and rude than people in other parts of the country. This is something that could have easily been avoided and there was ABSOLUTELY no need for it to happen. An innocent man lost his life so these people could be first to the best deals. Unfortunately, this wasn't the only tragedy over the bargain weekend. There was a shooting in California at a TOYS R US! which ended in the death of the 2 men. Was that toy for your child really worth them losing a parent? An armed robbery in Miami left one dead, and a shooting in Atlanta injured a pregnant woman. The economy is being blamed for these peoples outrageous actions.
1. I don't think that's fair. The economy is bad for EVERYONE, we are ALL suffering, however, most of us still have our morals in line and know not to KILL in order to get a good deal.
2.What kind of an excuse is that anyways? The stores are providing unbelievable sales, promotions, deals, etc. to help people still buy presents for their loved ones to prevent robberies, violence, etc. That totally backfired.
3. These people are going to ruin these sales for the rest of us, who wouldnt trample over someone, or would stop to help them up, who would rather disappoint their children by not getting them the toy they wanted and will be sick of after a few months to ensure we be there to help them grow. What kind of role model are these people to the youth of today?
This article sickens me.

I didn't even read the article that you posted because what you wrote was disturbing enough. The thought of killing someone that was only trying to let people in a store so they were they first to get something when there are deals that go on for hours and usually stores are pretty stocked up in the early morning on Black Friday. There is no need to have to be one of the first ones in there and taking a life along the way. That parent that was running in to get their child a present should stop to think about what really happened and was that toy worth a persons innocent life? That is awful.
Stores need to do what best buy does, for the people who are waiting in line before the store opens up and that is give out tickets for its big sale items. An hour before hand employees will come outside and go down the line and ask what people are waiting to get and if its one of the big sale items they will give them one of the limited tickets thats for that item, so when the doors do open up there was no need to tample someone because unless you had a ticket you could not get that item. but yea killing to get a good deal is out of control and companies need to do a better job on black friday of handling their customers
