(CNN) -- A temporary Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death Friday in a rush of thousands of early morning shoppers as he attempted to unlock the doors of a Valley Stream, New York, store at 5 a.m., police said...


Read more of the article from CNN. But seriously...regardless of religious belief and/or personal worldview...

How in the world can people be this sick? Since when is a life less valuable than material bargains??

Dude, ipods on sale. Life < Ipods.

 

[Lee]

That is horrendous

 

[Harthan]

It's the American dream at work.

Congratu-fucking-lations.

 

[Mr. TM]

Fucking sick.

Are you joking me? THIS is what appalls you about the human race? THIS?

Yeah, I can see how this is worse then the Holocaust and the Armenian & Rwandan genocides all rolled up into one. Yes, this is the moment in which we lose hope in humanity, everything before it was child's play.

Didn't say it was what appalls me most...


But at the risk of possibly offending people, the Holocaust/Armenian and Rwandan genocides were conducted because of national pride/bigotry/sheer hate.

...This death occurred so someone could get one of the 10 Wiis that the store possessed at bargain prices.

You don't find it more apalling that people were murdered because of the way they were born, then because of a Wii? I mean, shit, atleast when you kill the person for the Wii you're gettin' something out of it.

....Aaaaand I'm now officially going to hell.

Jesus Christ, XFear. He said this:

Not something like:

I fully believe the incident at that white-trash haven, Wal-Mart was the greatest tragedy we've since seen since 9/11 (which WAS NOT a government inside job by the way, don't fucking delude yourself), the genocides in Africa, and the Holocaust.

He just wanted to point out how sickening how some white trash losers killed someone who was likely just a high school kid trying to make some extra cash, because they had to save $20 on a DVD player.

hey now. dont call it WHITE trash. I live in the greater philadelphia area, and they showed people being trampled at super wal mart in philly....and it was black people for the most part.


so lets leave color out of it, and just keep it to ignorant trash in general.

racist^^^^

 

[Mr. TM]

apparently the guy had a heart attack to some sources.

 

[CCS]

I was at Walmart this morning and most people was polite. It was extreamly crowded but everybody was nice and friendly. But they let people in before 5 am so people wouldnt get trampled.

 

[Marquis]

I have said it befor and i'l say it again. People who shop on Black Friday are fuckin ridiculous. Fuckin cheap animals are what they are. Just to save a few fuckin bucks they go threw pushing,shoving,fighting and now killing. Poor guy a fellow homie from Queens to. Reading that whole article makes me sick to see such trash in our country.

 

[klunderbunker]

Amen MVP. I did mine 3 days ago. Went smoothly. My mother and Grandmother went to the freaking mall today. I shook my head at them and went back to sleep.

 

[CCS]

I saved 200 fucking dollars today and i didnt hurt anybody.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

what the fuck are people so concerned about "saving" for anyway?? what do you save money for??? to spend it still, but spend it at a later date??

see how stupid that really us???

 

[CCS]

I'm 17 so im on a limited budget. I realy didnt save money it just made it so i could get my family better gifts.

 

[BooCocky]

it's not about gifts. If it is, you don't understand the meaning of the Holidays.

 

[CCS]

I love my Mother. I want to get her something good. Not some cheap junk.

 

[Steamboat Ricky]

That's understandable.



I however, would really like it if I didn't get any presents. Or if I did...just one from the whole family that they put a lot of thought into. Or if they just did something cool for me. Because a gift without any meaning or creativity is a gift given in vain. Plus, lots of presents breeds a greedy attitude.

 

[Marquis]

Not everyone was that lucky. I don't agree saving 200 dollars is worth all the shit that goes down on Black Friday. But i can understand why someone would wanna save $200. Still i am sure most would agree the benefits get outweighed by the risks that go down on Black Friday.

I love my Mother. I want to get her something good. Not some cheap junk.

Becker put it best. Its really the thought that counts.

Well that's the point, if you save money you can spend it on different things instead of just one.

But yeah, no need to trample people to death for some presents...

yes, but you still spend it. people very rarely attempt to save money in an attempt to build up finances to aquire something else. they just try to save money becuase they are cheap asses.

It's too bad people are sucked in by these brick and mortar death traps. Amazon had awesome deals on everything you could have wanted. Had someone woken up at 6, turned on the PC, gotten a cup of coffee and sat down for half an hour, they could have saved just as much money as camping out at Wal-Mart and charging full speed ahead.
