The crowd broke down the doors and rushed into the store, and one of the workers was killed by the mob. Others, including a pregnant woman, were sent to the hospital.

This just ruins my weekend, hearing news like this. Are people that insane?

this is the best part:

“When they were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling, ‘I’ve been on line since yesterday morning,’ ” Ms. Cribbs told The Associated Press. “They kept shopping.”

I find this entire story hilarious. Ironic, and just all around ridiculous....

What about the people that got shot at ToyRUs? What has the world come to? I hate a Wal-mart greeter as much as the next guy, but who would trample one to death? That is just sad.

 

[CelticPredator]

[The Craw]

I heard that was a gang related shooting that really didn't have to do with shopping. Not that it makes it better but at least it didn't have to do with buying cheap stuff.

I can't believe the mentality of some people (or the lack of....) The holiday season needs a huge cultural makeover IMO.

One of there own members of staff dies and a pregnant women is injured and Wal-Mart reopens the store later that same day? All hail the mighty dollar

 

[RJMacReady16]

They should've sealed the doors behind those jackasses who stomped inside, and gassed every one of 'em.

This is disgusting news to hear.

Yep, I hope EVERY single person that was in that line gets sued for Wrongful Death. Hope they have to pay their life savings to that poor guy's family.
