So i'm sure everyone has heard about the Wal-mart "killing" on this wonderful "black friday." What you may not know is that the person killed was a fucking wal-mart employee!!! Not just some fucking idiot who decided to put themselves in this situation, but the GUY WHO UNLOCKED THE DOOR. Oh it gets better:
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., based in Bentonville, Ark., called the incident a "tragic situation" and said the employee came from a temporary agency and was doing maintenance work at the store. It said it tried to prepare for the crowd by adding staffers and outside security workers, putting up barricades and consulting police.
He was a TEMP!!! Oh and the extra security workers, not so much.
"This crowd was out of control," Fleming said. He described the scene as "utter chaos," and said the store didn't have enough security. Dozens of store employees trying to fight their way out to help Damour were also getting trampled by the crowd, Fleming said. Shoppers stepped over the man on the ground and streamed into the store.
So who is really to blame here? The selfish, self-absorbed assholes who shop at wal-mart and are so eager to get $50 off a plasma screen TV that they willingly kill a person? OR the greedy corporate establishment that won't get the proper security in order to protect lives.
Also fun things about this story: an 8-month pregnant woman was taken to the hospital for injuries (yeah you're a smart one! Glad you're gonna be a mom); and people actually got irate and started yelling at staff when told they should leave because a PERSON WAS DEAD. They continued to shop...
Oh, if you wanted to know what was so important that these people trampled a man to death for it was, "a Samsung 50-inch Plasma HDTV for $798, a Bissel Compact Upright Vacuum for $28, a Samsung 10.2 megapixel digital camera for $69 and DVDs such as "The Incredible Hulk" for $9." That's right. You died so some asshat could buy the Hulk for 9 bucks...
Isn't capitalism grand?
