I agree. Not only is it a living NIGHTMARE for those of us who actually WORK at a WAL-MART, but to see some people who don’t work there, but shop there make fun of things like this, it’s cruel and wrong. And, he was holding the doors. The pregnant lady was off to the side. It just goes to show that not only are Black Friday shoppers moronic and greedy, people who put things like this up are equally unintelligent.

Also, the welfare in Texas is sadly better. I see people coming into my store with great looking clothes, with their hair done and nails in perfect condition. I work at Wal-Mart and I have none of those things.

Maybe, someone should really go out and tell kids what Christmas is really about: the birth of Jesus Christ.

I agree its too soon and too sad. Truthfully it will always be too soon because this seems to happen every year.

Why, thank you. I’m glad to know I’m a bad person for being willing to wait in line to get my parents the only good presents they’ll be getting for the next few years. Great to know I’m ruining Christmas.

I don’t know. I’m not shocked. I was at Black Friday, and while I did happily yell and flip off anybody who was caught cutting in line, other than that there wasn’t any problems. We didn’t run or push until we were in the store, and even there it wasn’t bad. I went to both Best Buy and Walmart. Not all Black Friday Walmart sales produce monsters who enjoy killing innocent people…

One thing no one seems to have mentioned (I stopped reading about 50 comments in), is that Nassau Co SD was on site after a call from walmart for help with the crowd, then apparently LEFT.

Am I the ONLY one who feels they should also be held at fault? I actually do think the guy’s family is including them in the lawsuit, but I can’t recall for certain…

By: MLD

Walmart failed to provide adequate security frankly. The Nassau Co Sheriff’s are facing tough questions too, as to why they (apparently) left the site after Walmart called for help with crowd control. Because they WERE there, before this happened

By: MLD

MLD — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 06:54:31 +0000

Yes, I believe there is. I remember one time, I was trying to grocery shop there, and two women (customer and employee) were yakking away, so I said excuse me, politely. They each moved about 2 inches. I paused, waited about 20 more seconds staring at them, finally said, “Excuse me!’ more forcefully, and they moved, saying I didn’t have to be so rude. Ohai, politeness got me a gap not even an anorexic (which I definitely am NOT) could fit through.

I hate going to walmart.

As far as a solution goes, I read that a lot of those people were complaining that they had been there since Thursday morning. This could not have been good for the higher cognitive functions that could have prevented this. Could wal mart perhaps not allow people to wait in line more than a certain amount of time so that by the time Black Friday rolls around they are still in good enough shape to recognize the utter foolishness of breaking down doors?

*hugs* I’m glad you made the choices you made! You’re obviously a good man, and have a good family, and you do right by them. That’s all any woman can ask of her man ) Well, and a few other things, but only if they are asked for properly.

I get it right every once in a while )

I just hate it when people try to break stuff down into little pieces to be able to understand it, but in the breaking down, you lose the actual reasons that something is happening. It’s like tearing apart a watch into as many small pieces as possible and then asking someone who never saw the watch as a whole to rebuild it into something they understand. You’ll get a pretty weird looking watch if you leave out the context.

Also not everything pagan is “Wiccan”. My only real problem with Wicca is that (as far as I know and I could be wrong) that it was “invented” (for lack of a better word) in the 50s.
That said, there were old traditions that Wicca borrowed from other places and toned down a bit (including most things dealing with sacrifices or harming other creatures in any way). Most of us probably didn’t realize that *black magic* witches still actually existed. Voodoo and some forms of shamanism have similar kinds of rituals. Even satanists do, though satanic goals are purely
selfish by definition.
Even though there are “old world” witches, I’d still venture to believe that in this day and age, the majority of people who call themselves
witches (whether they be Wiccan, Dianic Wiccan, eclectic, pagan, or Old world or whatever you would call them) probably don’t practice blood sacrifices. It’s possible you know a pocket of them, but they don’t necessarily exist everywhere.

Hey! It’s only Scotsmen from Aberdeen. They even admit it. Once, their football team was in town and someone yelled “Ah, ya sheep-shagger” and the footballer turned round and said “Don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it.” I know folk who’ve been up there and apparently there are NO SHEEP in the fields! What sort of Scottish city has no sheep in the fields? The general consensus here in Central Scotland is that they are all either in bedrooms or evacuated for their own safety.

They speak funny up there too….

“Witches” is the very word some witches (here, in any case) refer to themselves as. Aberdeen is called “the black city” by “witches” because of the high proportion of “witchcraft.”
I’m not referring to the (few) new-age Wiccans I’ve met. I’m referring to those who follow old, old ways from the ancient past. Not everything “magical” is Wiccan. Not everything that has been preserved was preserved for being good or right.
Please don’t accuse me of ignorance, there was no call for it..

Actually if you read the majority of the posts, you will come to the conclusion that isn’t what is being said at all. I think most of us were horrified that this even happened, and that Wal-Mart should be held accountable.

As for the rest of what you said, I couldn’t agree more!

okay this is all going way too far. It seems as though you are all defending the idea that it is okay and acceptable to be standing in line for 14 hours to get some money off of a TV or some other new product for the spoiled children of America. All im saying is that this idea of getting and giving the best gift is ruining the idea of Christmas. Please just make a change this Christmas and make it be about what it used to be about. Spreading cheer and love with family and friends. Think of all of our soldiers over fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq who probably won’t make it home for Christmas. I know Christmas morning they will all be greatfull to see the faces of their comrades still standing next to them and knowing that they have someone back home waiting for them. Please just come together and lighten up about this comment because the ideal of Christmas is getting ruined. Merry Christmas to all.

Well, you certainly seem to live up to the stereotype of ’spoilt brat.’ You have people on this site from all over the world responding to your posts as if you are behaving like a churlish, arrogant, immature, precocious, judgemental child who takes her privileged upbringing and charmed life for granted.
Has it ever occurred to you that you might want to look at that?

Oh no. I’ve only been to one game. Wanted to experience the local flavor on my travels instead of the tour bus of “And this is where gigantic crowds form to see what you know as soccer games.” And I would think long and hard before going to another game because of the risk of my life. I’m not looking for sympathy, and you can look down on me all you want. I just wanted to try an explain a feeling that it seems like a lot of you may not have had, and try to get some people to see that these people had no option to stop, lest they be trampled as well and also probably were not thinking about the television at the moment of going through the door.

I also wonder what the old scholars would do if they had the internet back then?

Probably babble on and on online just as they babbled offline in history. Not saying I have any historical import but just like to put that thought out there.

The Q is usually added in Aus – it is for queer. In Aus, queer is a term that non hetro people often apply to ourselves as an empowering term – turning a slur on it’s head. I’m not sure if this is common overseas.
