Madness on the biggest shopping day of the year
Has anyone else been watching the last news on the terrible events on Black Friday. Since when did we become a nation of killing shoppers to get a better place in line? Or shooting people over toys?
This first story is horrific to even think about. A Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death when he opened the doors for shoppers this morning at 5am. Four more were injured including a pregnant woman. See the whole story at CNN.
Two people were shoot and killed in Toys-R-Us. Authorities are not exactly sure yet what happened. Several people have been arrested. This is a developing story at this hour. Read more at CNN.
Have we all really lost or sense of humanity for others? This is becoming a growing problem during this time of year. Many people have said that this is the reason they no longer go out on Black Friday. We are all losing out when others act this way and for the ones who do not stop and help for fear of losing that bargain, you are no better than those who committed the crime.
Robin, the things that go on in this world leave me baffled. All the people involved should have to sit down to the families that have lost a loved one in these tragedies and have to explain to them why they will never see their loved ones again.
I am still just in shock at the way people behave. I would be the one to stop and help this man, which is probably why 4 others were hurt.
