I didn't really want anything but a few dvd's, which I got during my break after the sale was over and they put the stuff in the back. It's a shame that people go so ape crapover saving some money.
I remember seeing two grown women curse and fight over a Elmo doll at Toy's R Us one year and their kids were right there by them....acting more mature...

Pathetic, absolutely pathetic what shopping has come to.
These people know exactly who they are, and they should be ashamed.

I bet the guys family doesn't think it was too funny. He was just doing his job and these savages knocked the door down and trampled him and wouldn't even let the EMT's or police help him. And for what? So they could save some money? It was worth killing a guy over? People make me sick, and things like this are the reason why I hate everybody.

These stories being reported right now show the sad state of society today. Is a $174 TV really worth stampeding someone over? An innocent person loses their life just for ing electronics. It's god damn ridiculous. Don't even get me started about the TRU shooting in California. Albeit it was a personal problem between two women but did their men have to open fire in a crowded store on perhaps one of the busiest days of the year. This is why I am doing my shopping on 'Cyber Monday.' Nothing in this world is worth losing my ing life over, least of all electronics. That is all.

I'm honestly not all that surprised. Wal-Mart is the craziest place on Black Friday. Pretty sad though for the employee.

NEW YORK – A worker was killed in the crush Friday after a throng of shoppers eager for post-Thanksgiving bargains burst through the doors at a suburban Wal-Mart, authorities said.
At least four other people were injured, and the store in Valley Stream on Long Island was closed.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. in Bentonville, Ark., called the incident a "tragic situation" and said the employee came from a temporary agency and was doing maintenance work at the store.
"He was bum-rushed by 200 people," co-worker Jimmy Overby, 43, told the Daily News. "They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front of me. They took me down too. ... I literally had to fight people off my back."
Nassau County police said the 34-year-old worker was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead at about 6 a.m. The man's name was not released and the cause of death was not immediately known.
A police statement said shortly after the store's 5 a.m. opening time, shoppers "physically broke down the doors, knocking (the worker) to the ground."
A metal portion of the door was crumpled like an accordion.
Shoppers around the country lined up early outside stores in the annual bargain hunting ritual known as Black Friday. Many stores open early and stay open late, and some of the most dramatic bargains are available in limited quantities.
Among the bargains offered by Wal-Mart for Friday were Samsung 50-inch high definition Plasma TVs for less than $800.
Witnesses told the Daily News that before the store was closed, eager shoppers streamed past emergency crews as they worked furiously to save the worker's life.
"They were working on him, but you could see he was dead," said Halcyon Alexander, 29. "People were still coming through."
A 28-year-old pregnant woman was taken to a hospital for observation, and she and the unborn baby were both reported to be OK, said Sgt. Anthony Repalone, a Nassau County police spokesman. Four or five other people suffered minor injuries, he said.
Ellen Davis, a spokeswoman at National Retail Federation, said the group knew of no other incident where a retail employee has died working on the day after Thanksgiving.
Wal-Mart is working closely with police, company spokesman Dan Fogleman said.
"The safety and security of our customers and associates is our top priority," Fogleman said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families at this difficult time."

Well, as they took the doors OFF THE HINGES, I think its safe to assume the store was not open, meaning they broke into the store, and making it illegal. Also, the fact that everyone was so busy trying to get to the savings, they couldn't notice the man they were stepping on, yeah, I say everyone here has a right to be disgusted with those people.

Accept I don't need to break the doors down and trample people just for the sake of saving some money. People act absolutely uncivilized on black friday, and there's no excuse for it. It just makes my hatred for black friday even stronger.

I'm wondering if this is the Wal Mart that's 10 minutes from my house. That Walmart is 10 minutes from my house and it is a $#!++y area.
