You don't have to be judgemental where these people were trying to shop. Not everyone in the nation is as rich as you and there are people actually suffering through the recent tough economic times.

Yea that is really upsetting. They are stupid pieces of crap that will be thrown away in less than 5 years that people are acting like savages over.

I think it's really dumb on Wal-Mart's part too. They HAD to have known there were so many people outside and should have had some kind of order (a line, and security personnel). It's frustrating because I think the death could have been avoided had they at least taken some precautions. They are cheap jerks there @ Wal-Mart so I'm not surprised they didn't put any resources into this.

The employee that was trampled WAS the security personnel - he was trying to tell the crowds they needed to stop. My boyfriend was pretty upset to hear it because he worked his way through college at the same job at Target.
