slow down trying to save a buck at WalMart!

by oz_media . Updated 17 years, 6 months ago

The expected mass hysteria of WalMart having a sale, a young guy was killed; that’s right, trampled to DEATH by losers trying to save a dollar on low quality chinese import sh1t at Wally World.

Okay, they tore the doors off the store, trampled an overnight stock clerk to death, trmapled another who managed to free himself and even knocked a pregnant women to teh ground causing her to miscarry her unborn child.

SICK f’in freakshow!! What’s with people today? and worst of all NOBODY stopped to help!

WHat a great day Thanksgiving will be for the dead young man and pregnant women will be from now on. It is absolutely disgustign taht ANYOEN could act that way in public, showing absolutely NO consideration, manners, or a care in the world for human lives all for a SALE!

It’s not like they were giving away freedom, its not like they wer handing out free cars or homes, this is plastic, knock-off sh1t at WalMart for Christ’s sake!

I don’t know how anyone can stand sharig a country with such losers, that must be the absolute epitomy of the bottom of society, people bumming change on the street have far mroe class and human decency than that.

Just absolutely amazed at how ignorant and useless society can be and, in this case, from what is supposed to be the mightiest nation on Earth?

O.M.G!

The part that really blows my mind is this comment:
[i]”The industry?s largest retail group said [b]the incident was rare.[/b]

“We are not aware of any other circumstances [b]where a retail employee has died working on the day after Thanksgiving,”[/b] said Ellen Davis, a spokeswoman at National Retail Federation.[/i]

Okay it’s rare, but the best she can do is say its teh first time someone has died this way THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING?? How about EVER?

Does she mean to say that its quite expected on Boxinig Day, on Halloween they usually lose 10 but the day after Thanksgiving, now THAT is rare!

What a horrible death, trampled.

I would like ot see them start NAILING people for it, use teh instore camera, FIRST guy to knock him down is charged with life with no parole; sure he was pushed, somebody has to pay. Perhaps they would finally start to get some class and act like human beings, superior to the rest of the animals on Earth.

Sorry, but this makes me sick to death of people in general to think that ANYONE would be so low on the food chain as to participate in something like that is simply an embarassment to mankind as a whole .

In Canada, not to suggest we are better but it is a better solution, Boxing day is now Boxing week (as I know it is in much of the USA too), this stops the mad rush and one day easy theft spree for all shoplifters.

When they do have door crasher sales, they are nowhere NEAR as unruly as that though, people do push and squirm to the front right before the doors open but most just push them back and give them that ‘go get some class’ look.
It is nowhere near this kind of a circus.

People neeed to learn better manners, have some class and respect for others etc. But if they are simply taught its all for one and one for all then it will never work as society gets denser and denser. Crime, drugs etc. its all a result of people feeling a fight or flight urgency in life.

To make a real stretch, and I know most of you will hate me for it but most of you hate me ayway for not thinking like you; this is probably, if not directly, related to that whole US mindset that makes people not want to help others (welfare etc.) as you are taught to not let someone else have what you earned, to not let others get more than you and to always come out on top; survival of the fittest.

Its great motivational BS but it also instills a mindset of not giving a damn about anyone but yourself.

i still can’t get my head around how the US is deemed teh mightiest nation on Earth. Weak economy, reliant on the rest of the world for even the most rudimentary daily functions (yet claiming to be independent), always at war with someone over something, low educational levels, reliant on teh reat of the world to invent everything, etc., etc., etc. the list goes on and on. Its like watching zulu’s in Africa….with money and weapons otehr than spears.

the part that really gets me, sorry rant almost through now, is that I doubt ANYONE will learn or change ANYTHYING over this, “Very rare incident…..for the day after Thanksgiving” anyway.

Will WalMart change the way they open stores for such sales? How about like a concert, allow the first 100 people to line up inside a barricade, with third party, professional security containing it. give them wrist bands and only THEY get in for teh first 20 minutes, then more allowed in and so on.

You don’t have that wrist band, you can’t enter the store, go through the checkout etc.

If you are someone who pushed in front of that first 100 people, you are SOL.

It also opens up opportunity for teh first 100, as we’ve seen here for Boxing Day sales. The first few get in and buy the door crashers (hey, they WERE there first) they then go to the line poutside and resell what they don’t want. People in line get a decent deal, no more lineup and the ones at the front end up keeping the one or two items they really wanted, for free.

man, this is just sick though, how animals behave when uncaged.
