Wal-Mart worker dies after shoppers knock him down 11/28/2008 01:05 PM By: AP Wire Service NEW YORK (AP) - Police say a Wal-Mart worker has died after being trampled by a throng of unruly shoppers shortly after the Long Island store opened Friday.
Nassau County police say the 34-year-old worker was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead at about 6 a.m., an hour after the store opened. The cause of death was not immediately known.
A police statement says a throng of shoppers "physically broke down the doors, knocking him to the ground." Police also say a 28-year-old pregnant woman was taken to a hospital for observation.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., in Bentonville, Ark., would not confirm the reports of a stampede during the day-after-Thanksgiving bargain hunting, but said a "medical emergency" caused them to close the store. ______________________
See, it's accidents like this that give Black Friday a bad name...

"NEW YORK (AP) - Police say a Wal-Mart worker has died after being trampled by a throng of unruly shoppers shortly after the Long Island store opened Friday"
I read that as "trampled by a thong".

Did you see the commercial about Walmart having 80% of it's products non-american produced, and how buying from them on Black Friday would not be helping out economy, producers, market, ect... Some folks believe Wal-Mart is the devil, franchised.
