Post by: Jon S. on November 28, 2008, 11:18:18 PM

Three Black Friday shopping-related fatalities today. There's really no justification for any of this...

I actually feel ill after reading that. I hope the people involved get arrested and the ones who did the trampling better feel deeply sorry and carry that with them the rest of their lives.

Uh no.  Watching Fox News last night they reported that when the management tried to close the store at the Walmart, people still shopped, complained, and fights started to break out because people couldn't shop.

So my lack of faith in humanity, unfortunately, stays strong for another season.
