WalMart Employee Trampled to Death

[Soap]

Just goes to prove you don't have to be attending a rock concert to stampede to death.
Very unfortunate indeed.

Sadly, this isn't the first time, and it won't be the last.

Stores have some liability for these events in their hottest items in limited quantities, which is usually how these stampedes happen.

That and they always send one old guy out to let the idiots in, rather than 5 big high school football types. At least let the guy shove a shopping cart to the door so he can unlock it.

Better yet, let the billion-dollar retailer spend a few hundred thousand on remote-control locks.

And yes, this happens in "white trash" areas. Trash comes in all colors.

They are 100% liable, how many millions is a human life worth? It's above my pay grade, so I'll defer...

Good thinking and suggestions. But even then, people will kill themselves rushing in the place. People are fuggin' animals, they'll trample babies for a free bag o' shit. Maybe police presence would deter or subdue the madness. But they're ALWAYS too cheap to hire a part time po po for a few hours. Shit, for $50-$100 bucks..this shit can be avoided for cryin' out loud.

People just don't give a fuck.

Someone must be held accountable..start with Walmart. Make an example of them.

Yup... those stores on this day need to be treated like a pit area during a rock concert. Big freaking ape-like esteroid laden humanoids handling that crowd.
Said it a million time and I will say it again. People and in general humans suck. We are due for extermination.

Tip: don't work at walmart
Tip #2: don't shop at this time of year

Where is the white trash?

No shit. I live in north NJ and heard this story on the news radio station 1010 WINS. They said it happened in Valley Stream. I knew it wasn't white trash. I used to deliver to the Valley Stream A&S when I was a truck driver.

Well, maybe not white trash in that area, but that's all that seem to frequent the Walmart around here. Anyway, like Newc said, "trash" comes in all colors.

The Walmart in my town is filled with white trash also. Mixed in with Mexicans who fill a cart up with random shit and leave it in the most inconvenient places.

[triplehold]

Joe Steeler- Thanks brother, I was waiting for your take on this.

[Cleveland Metal]

Yeah, trash does not have a race it seems... We seem to have an equal assortment of dirtbags here in Cleveland.

Unfortunately lately, with the new elect, certain "democrats" have been particularly painful to be around tho, haha....

[jgcable]

I shop at Walmart. I guess that makes me white trash. My wife shops at Macy's. I guess that makes us a multi-cultural couple.
But its worse.. my son likes Hollister, and my daughters will shop anywhere they can get free clothes. Damn.. my family is like a cultural melting pot.

In Palmdale a town about 1 1/2 hrs east of LA two Amigos got into a shoot out over a doorbuster item (the last one) at a WalMart. One of them died and the other goes to jail for homicide.
Merry Christmas!

So what is seriously up with these sales? Nothing I have seen "on sale" is worth going to the store @ 5am for. Seriously?

PS3 for $100, nope
PSP for $50 nope
Wii for $75, nope

46" LCD for $600 - nope

$1200 washer/dryer for $500 - nope.

What was so great about black friday?

BTW, my brother is going back to Iraq in ~10 days, so we did "black rifle Friday" - it was the only thing he wanted from Santa this year.

He got the last one, and everyone was very polite. No one got shot or trampled, but it was crowded.

I shop at Walmart. I guess that makes me white trash.

No, it doesn't make you white trash just because you shop there. I shop there once in awhile, but I'm not white trash... well, not all the time anyway. :ROTF:

Horns you are absolutely right. I watched the
Zeitgeist
