People act like such morons. Here's a story about some poor employee killed in a Wal*Mart. Trampled to death when folks, eager to get their new TVs, broke down the doors and crushed him.
Bet his family's having a pretty bad holiday season already. Hope the culprits are enjoying their new TVs, though....
scumbags.

That comment is not right nor is it needed. Im sure nobody at that Walmart had any intentions of hurting anyone. It was just a horrible tragedy that occured. Granted it could have been prevented by better crowd control it wasnt. Something horrible happened but it was not a premeditated act.
The Toys R' Us shooting is a different story.
Most Black Friday shoppers are not this crazy. I spent 14 hrs at Best Buy starting at 4:45 Thanksgiving Evening and everyone had a great time. Granted I had a 30ft long by 10 foot wide enclosed tent that was 80degrees because of a propane heater and had a 40inch TV, 2 couches, and video games lol. We all had a great time. Nobody fought and I made some great new friends. Just overall a great time I will never forget.
Oh and I scored some AMAZING deals on laptops. I saved over $300 on each laptop so that is WELL worth waiting 14hrs.
Oh and I learned a few things.
1. I can no longer throw a football nearly as far as I thought after suffering a type 3 shoulder seperation. Boooo!
2. Parking lot pavement hurts when its 25degrees and your playing tackle football.
3. Fires in 55gallon drums on the sidewalk in front of Best Buy are illegal.(wasnt mine but I thought it was funny)
4. People will be awestruck by the amount of planning that goes into your camping setup. lol(see above for setup info)
5. People become very fond of you when its 25 degrees outside your tent but inside it is 80degrees and you can wear shorts and a Tshirt and sit on a nice comfy couch.
