    Sad for the family. A tragic and needless loss of life over consumerism of stuff we don't even need.

      Anyone see the video of shoppers storming through the doors? this one lady was pushing a baby stroller, now come on, 1.how many hours did she stand outside waiting for the doors to open, 2. pushing a baby stroller in FRONT of you? through hoards of crazy shoppers???
      I guess some will do just about anything to save a few bucks, pitiful!
      Is there really that much pressure on some people to get the things they want, not need, just want?
      Wal-mart said they will look over the videos and see if they are going to hold anyone responsible, gee, how about taking some of the responsibility Wal-mart? I understand most retailers are doing the black Friday thing too, but this sort of thing (maybe not a man getting trampled to death) injuries, fights happen for years!
      My Aunt used to work at Sears toy dept, they had Cabbage Patch kids, 100s of people in line (1984-85?) people were pulling hair, pushing, grabbing etc....this type of behavior isn't new, still just as pathetic.

      I was going to go sit out by Best Buys with my video cam, just for giggles..and because I have a sick sense of humor sometimes, but I would have been horrified seeing something like that, it's really terrible, I'd be so ashamed of myself if I acted like some of those people. That poor man, just doing his job.
      If you got to start training and wear a suit of armor to shop on black Friday, something VERY wrong with that.
