Black Friday Shopping

Friday, November 28th, 2008

Crowds can be such senseless savage animals.

Worker dies at Long Island WalMart – Black Friday Stampede

Witnesses said the surging throngs of shoppers knocked the man down. He fell and was stepped on. As he gasped for air, shoppers ran over and around him.

A pregnant woman was knocked to the ground after observation she and the baby seem to be fine. Three other people were also injured. I’m all for a good sale, but have a little decency!

I’m glad we live where we live. We went out today, after the early crowd, to see if they still had a couple of things we saw on sale. My husband was looking for a pair of pants in his size and they seemed to be out. A mother and daughter came up to us with a pair and asked if this was his size. Seems their son/husband was the same size and since they found 2 they gave us one of them to buy at the special sale price. Yup, I like where we live.
