Walmart Death

What is wrong with people? First of all, Walmart should have called the police when they saw how big the crowds were getting. Crowd control is what the police do. Not Walmart.

Has our avarice gotten so awful that we kill for a bargain? Actually stomp someone to death?

That poor man was just trying to earn some money before the holiday. It's the quintessential American tragedy. Dying so someone can get a bargain.

Retail employees should be armed and encouraged to mow down overly enthusiastic shoppers.

I think Wal-Mart should be, and will be, found to be negligent in this matter.

I would not have been standing anywhere near those doors. I would have told the manager "sure! Get the temporary guy to open the doors to let the rabid mongol horde in! Who cares of the temp gets stomped to death!"

I think about things like that. Given that EVERY YEAR someone is trampled to death at Wal-Mart.

I also heard that two women got into a fight over something stupid, so the men they were with got involved, pulled out guns, and shot each other. Both men died.
