It continues to amaze me how people can act like a horde of charging barbarians looking to sack Rome during the season of "goodwill towards men". Maybe people should concentrate more on the goodwill part rather than if they are going to be the first ones to get their hands on a Wii. And people wonder why I've lost faith in Christmas.

here are pictures from before and after the incident

Does this make anyone else mad?

What can you say about this?

I never seen a more pathetic site - in my LIFE.  In my life. 

The person will be buried, someone's husband, brother, father, because people had to rush-in Wal Mart to buy discounted prices.  Truly goods is more important than human life.  The guy, probably working in this economy, to support himself.  Maybe working two jobs.  And gets trampled upon by people. 

Hard to believe.   Is this what we have become?  

Damn who would go near a WalMart on a Black Friday?? I don't even go near that place during the week. I'm suprised the police didn't start tear gassing people when they broke through the windows.

This is why I support Eugenics and the extermination of 80% world population.

This is why I've moved all my shopping online during this time of the year. No lines, no fuss, good deals and it gets delivered to me. Beats standing in line at 1am to watch folks get in a fist fight over some meaningless piece of crap that they would have never given a second look before, but now would kill over because its 30% off so they can five it to Uncle Louie that they haven't spoken to in 10 years.

You think like me.  Sometimes I wonder if people even think like this anymore.

The people that were there probably went on with their shopping, went to the checkout, went home and wrapped their presents and apathetically told the story of the guy who died at the door.  Meanwhile, his family is having to live through this never getting to see him again or experience him again all because some people could not act like civilized human beings and instead thought it more appropriate to push and shove their way through the doorway.

I don't think people put much value on human life anymore outside of those people they know.  It's almost like they can feel no emotion for someone if they do not have some kind of personal relationship with them.  And even then, a lot of people seem pretty emotionless for those people as well.
