They Kill a man and keep shopping!?!?

I just saw this on the news... very sad.  Once again it is what people have been conditioned for/taught; be the first to get the best. It is probable that many of the people in the store that day will remember.

This is beyond tragic, its unimaginable!  How devastated the family must be, I have seen the Terrorists attacks on the Mumbai hotels this week and think thats horrible and awful... and it is.. but a young man struck down by shoppers?  Grief and sadness will forever be a part of his families holiday.  Their is NO sale in the world worth this price.

Carol...

This is unbelievable. What have we become. My wife works in a department store so I am especially sensitive to this kind of story.

I am mortified by the horrific behavior we see year after year on black Friday!  Each year it gets worse, the stories of fist fights, injuries and brutal behavior that can only be described as uncivilized.  This was only a matter of time and sadly horribly unnecessary.  Retailers need to stop this black friday frenzy and make things EASIER and SAFER for the buying public.  That's when their sales will really improve in a meaningful way!

Wow, that is unbelievable and truly sad.  It's is crazy to see those mobs of people. I never go out in those crowds. The store really should have more than one person opening the door. They should have had security there knowing how those crowds are going to be. I feel really sorry for that man's family.

I saw this story on the news last evening and could not believe what I was seeing.

Lets just hope it is an urban legend and not at all true, did they give details as to the actual store?

So very sad, isn't it? 

Mary, not an urban legend.  It happened at the Valley Stream store on Long Island.

Heartbreaking.  I haven't gone shopping on Black Friday for years and years.  It is unimaginable that people would behave that way.  Disheartening, for sure, that such a thing could happen.  But remember that there are also those that would do anything in their power to help someone in need.  Don't give up on the human race just yet. 

I have never shopped on Black Friday because of stories I had heard of people fighting over 1 item. This just proves that people have no respect for another human being. I was appalled by this story.

It is hard to believe this story.  I am not doubting you but I am shocked and appalled.  Black Fridays have never been my thing and now I have another reason.

It boggles my mind that there are brave men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan giving their lives for this country, and then there are men and women in this country killing a man for things--for useless things that can neither bring happiness, nor freedom, nor safety.

This situation was absolute insanity.

My Neice works at walmart..so I thought what if this happened to my family .. I cant imagine what that family must be going through... This is truly shocking

This is a very terrible situation and I hope Wal Mart gets sued.  They only care about their bottom line and not their employees.  This is a mob situation, they need to have police presence or security on events like these.  It should not take a death to realize the mistake that could of been prevented.  I'm sorry to be coming off a little aggrevated.

There are a lot of idiots in mankind but I believe there are quite a few prayers to be said for a very big group who do a lot of good!
