I heard on the radio that a man at Wal-Mart was TRAMPLED to death when he opened the doors....

 

Really someone dies all because you wanted 20% off an IPOD or something? If you ask me all those people should have been banned from the store for killing that guy. Or arrested for manslaughter.

 

heres a link incase

Yeah, sucks, I thought it was a woman though. I also heard another woman lost her baby (she was pregnant, not her actual child)

Yeah! One place out of hundreds of thousands had something bad happen! We need to stop all this nonsense!

Just like we should stop the NFL because once a year or so a rookie paralyzes or severely injures themselves! Or ban skateboarding and snowboarding!

Yea, it's stupid.

When shoppers were told they had to leave because someone was killed they complained that they had been in line far too long to leave.  They kept shopping...

Also at a Toys R' Us two people were shot to death.  I don't get it...

Well, this is the one day out of the year that prices drop way low. People like what? To pay as little as possible. Add that to the equation, and people will go nuts every time.

This stuff is partly the stores' fault. There's a reason why some stores, like Best Buy, give out tickets for items to people waiting in line hours before the store opens. That way there's no stampede of people trying beat everyone else to an item because if you have a ticket you're guaranteed that item and if you don't have a ticket then you just don't get what you want. I mean, what retard of a manager (store, reigional, or corporate) uses a "race for it" policy?

Black Friday NEEDS to be stopped every year this will be more and more common people seem to care more about getting blu-ray discs for 10 dollars than the lives of strangers. Yes, I think Black Friday is the most selfish "holiday" ever thought of. That is my opinion so please don't flame me.TSNAKE617

Or you could just have better crowd control and not allow all of them to try and rush in at once.

It does sound crazy to me.. because it is an overreaction.
Most people do their shopping in a civil manner. This is just the exception.

Millions of people die in car accidents every year. Should we demolish all the roads and destroy all cars so that this no longer happens? People drown, should we ban pools? Of course not, the solution to safety problems isn't to ban the activity, it's to implement proper controls and precautions. We require the use of airbags and seatbelts when people drive, require that people follow a set speed limit, and have a plethora of other traffic laws that are intended to keep auto accidents to a minimum. We prevent drowning by posting lifeguards and setting rules at pools and beaches. And in the case of hyped up store sales we should require a ticketing system and proper crowd control rather than the anarchist "every man for himself" policy that some stores still insist on using.

I am not saying NFL players want their necks cracked but they go into the sport knowing that there is always a chance with this contact sport. No one applies to Walmart thinking that there is a possiblity of death. its also the fact that almost NO ONE seemed to care this man died. They all were too concerned with buying their stuff. I mean seriously its just some cut prices, people need to chill out.

So me just walking to best buy grabbing a couple of blu rays going on line giving the cashier my money then continuing with my life is considered as selfish? Or are you just calling It selfish due to a horrible incident that can happen anytime around the world...

They know there is a chance because they actually put some thought into what they're doing. Every time you go outside there's a chance of dying or being seriously injured. The problem is that some people just don't think about it.
Secondly, the concept of not caring has been around for millions of years. It happens at soccer riots, protests, fights, etc. It happens all the time. This is just another example of someone not caring. You have no reason to suddenly destroy all humanity because someone didn't care. Do you have any idea how often that happens?
Do you have any clue how many people are dying right now? Do you have any idea how many parents are being slaughtered in front of their own kids? Do you care?
Just because you live a sheltered life doesn't mean you have the right to overreact to something as minuscule as this. I'm sure his family doesn't find his death to be "minuscule" but in all honesty, to the rest of the world, it is. The rest of the world is just trying to find something to eat right now. How much do you care?

Exactly, I don't understand how the holiday is selfish because of an accident that happened. People like good deals, period point blank. The economy sucks too much to try to buy everything at full price. All they needed to do was keep it orderly and it wouldn't have happened; it doesn't mean that the whole holiday is terrible and unholy and neanderthal-like.

Dude chill out. First off you do not know me, so do not judge me thanks. I am not overreacting. I am not blind, i know the world is suffering but there is no reason to turn your back on what happened. All i am saying is that it saddens me that i still see people doing this. I never said that black friday should be shut down and even if i wanted it to, it wouldn't happen. I mean i went out today to best buy to get some stuff, i walked in and out safely and quickly.
