The throng of Wal-Mart shoppers had been building all night, filling sidewalks and stretching across a vast parking lot at the Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream, N.Y. At 3:30 a.m., the Nassau County police had to be called in for crowd control, and an officer with a bullhorn pleaded for order.



This is why I do my shopping online.

Actually, I feel sorry for the guy.

But seriously, this is proof yet more proof that the majority of our fellow citizens are retarded. Yeah, the broken door equals the store being open. Real smart. But hey, they really wanted them Tickle'me'Elmos...

I read about this yesterday too. It's really sad.
And of all places, Wal-Mart. WTF?

A good deal is totally not worth killing someone for.
What appalls me is that people were complaining about not being able to buy stuff when police tried to clear them out rather than the fact that they just killed someone. Totally f*cked up.

I'm glad Best Buy was much more tame.

I heard about this and I'll echo what my mom said: "I hope they didn't get what they wanted."
Greedy jerks.

I am glad that San Jose isn't so big as New York that we have to worry about those kinds of crowds. D:

I like to get my stuff ahead of time so I don't have to worry about that madness... and to actually find the stuff. >.>;

What I found disturbing it that the shoppers were pissed when they had to close down the store early.

You'd think that they would take the time to check WHAT THEY ARE WALKING ON!

I notice when I am walking on my shoelace, I would sure as Hell notice a person.

Oh hay did you guys hear about the Toys R Us shooting that also happened on Black Friday?

Two girls were fighting over an item that they both wanted, and they started fighting.  They then called their boyfriends to "settle the conflict".  They brought guns.  And shot each other.

WHAT THE EFF

We're in a rioting crowd for a reason you know.  More people to use as shields after I fire.
