What the hell...


...is wrong with people?

Wal-Mart worker dies after shoppers knock him down
NEW YORK – A Wal-Mart worker was killed Friday when "out-of-control" shoppers desperate for bargains broke down the doors at a 5 a.m. sale. Other workers were trampled as they tried to rescue the man, and customers shouted angrily and kept shopping when store officials said they were closing because of the death, police and witnesses said.

At least four other people, including a woman who was eight months pregnant, were taken to hospitals for observation or minor injuries, and the store in Valley Stream on Long Island closed for several hours before reopening.

Shoppers stepped over the man on the ground and streamed into the store. When told to leave, they complained that they had been in line since Thursday morning.
I don't even know where to begin...

Sad case...To make it sadder, the bottom-feeding shysters are already filing their lawsuits to make a buck out of a tragedy...Ben

This is the town where I live disbelief

That area though is one where you never go. The whole Green Acres Complex... all of it.. the Mall, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and the Murder Plex (movie theater).

It doesn't surprise me that something like that happened there. But what a crap thing to have your town in the papers for...

In it's defense, the town itself isn't bad at all... I have no fears going out even late at night by myself... but I won't even go over to that area in the day time..

It's disgusting. What is even more disgusting is all of the people who continued to shop and refused to leave after it happened. How do you go home feeling good about purchases you made while a man was dying outside?

gross..gross..gross. no

But he wouldn't have even entered their minds.

They're not the same kind of beings as the rest of us.  Trust me, I work in a town where the people are on average three times heavier than I am and waddle down the street physically kicking their offspring down the road hollering " Shut da f''k up yooo misabbul sh!t or I gee yoo summut ta scream fer".  That's the ones that are actually getting around on their feet.  The others are either glued to a burnt out metal bench or trying to run you over with their 'mobility scooters' and burn you with their fags as they whizz past.  Geesh!

They should copy Ikea's security measures http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/nottinghamshire/4917532.stm.
That is totally grim, but I'm not surprised they continued shopping, I doubt there was much focus on getting them to put stuff back before they left...
