Wal-mart Shoppers Trample Worker

Black Friday always offers great sales and people start to camp out in front of the stores on Thanksgiving day. In New York, shoppers broke the door down at a 5:00am sale at Wal-mart. The crowd trampled an employee to the ground. The employee was stepped on and over without anyone stopping to help. His coworkers tried to get through the crowds to help him but there were too many people.
When the police finally came and the shoppers were told to leave, many refused claiming that they waited outside for hours for these good deals. Now, I love Black Friday just as much as the next person but that is outrageous. I cannot believe that no one stopped to help him up. Four other people were injured as they were caught in the middle of the raging crowds. People really do take things to the extremes sometimes.

I definietly agree with you. Some shoppers are just crazy. I saw this story on yahoo and they showed the entrance to the wal-mart when the day had ended. The entire door frame was dented and even bent in certain places. I just cannot imagine what it must have been like. I have only ever gone shopping on Black Friday once with my parents. It was absolutely crazy and we only went to murrays when they still had a huge variety of things. Saving some money is a great thing, but it should not be something that people die over. It is just sad that it had to happen that way.
