This is ONE reason why I DO NOT go! This has happened before, people just don't care!

The other reason, I dispise crowds (shopping) and I really DO NOT like to shop. I go for what I want and get the heck out!

Very sad what happened to the young man. My Prayers to his family!

What's wrong with people? This is just sick.

just proves that anyone is capable of stepping on others to get ahead
maybe they should ban Black friday sales or at the very least find a better way

Did you see on the news GROWN ADULTS fighting over XBox 360's? Come on....enough is enough!

I have been trying for two years to get a Wii.....found one during the year and bought it.....(and have been dying to play it...can't wait for Christmas LOL)....

Thank goodness I shop during the year .... this way I don't have to deal with "GREEDY and SELFISH" people!

Stuff like this happens every year...I really can see Black Friday being banned if they can't come up with a better way. What is sad about this man at Walmart...you could see on the news, the people were shaking the doors. Heard they actually broke the door / glass to get in!

Heck, I remember when the CABBAGE PATCH DOLLS were the thing...ppl were crazy then too!

I have YET, in my almost 53 yrs, to shop on Black Friday nor do I have any intentions of doing so in the future...however, I do look forward to January! (SALES!) LOL

And at a Target (I thnk it was target) a 21 yr old pregnant lost her baby and at a Toys are us a shooting!

Our Walmart is 24 hr and they use to lock up them reopen now they stay open this year was the best when you came in you got a cirucliar and a map the map told store area and pallet location they were #bered and you just went to the pallet you wanted and waited people were there nd if someone started to get pushey they told you in no way was the plastic commin off till 5 am but when it did you had better grab and go! Most damage I know of at our store was heels getting ran into and that still smarts ouch!

[BIG61AL]

gives new meaning to .....shop till you [or someone] drop

 

[ohioaxeman]

i'd bet walmart gets sued every year for this kind of greed. they need to have a policy for black friday.
