Man, fuck every single one of those people who stampeded the door at the Wal-Mart. Seriously, you've been waiting for sixteen hours, can you not wait seven more seconds before you buffalo your way into the store, just to give the poor worker a chance to move out of your way? Is a guy's life so insignifigant that you stomp him to death with your Crocs and Flip-Flops on your way to saving four dollars on a pair of pajamas? I hope every time they watch their TV'S, play their games, or go stepping out on the town in their shitty Wal Mart clothes that they remember they helped kill a guy who was just trying to work a shitty job and make an honest living. Merry Christmas indeed.

The cops are looking for the murderers - but good luck with that. Ultimately it was just human nature at work. Some dead Wally World employee is, in fact, less important than scoring a cheap HDTV to a disturbingly large portion of the populace.

See also the Henrico County, VA iBook Riot a few years back, though that was, remarkably, fatality free.

And to think, I slept in Friday morning, so did the wife and kids. We miss all the fun. I've never understood the whole shop-war mentality of black friday. You saved $20, great. Was it worth the manslaughter charge?

Black Friday is the closest most people ever get to their hunter-gatherer roots. It wouldn't be right without a little bloodshed.
