Wal-Mart incident (edited)

The night of black Friday I was watching the 10 o'clock news and I saw a story about a man that was KILLED in a Wal-Mart. The craziness of black Friday has become known to everyone around the world and if they didn't know they they know now after this story. What happened was a man who was simply working as security for black Friday was instructed to stand in front of an angry mob of people along with other employees to stop anyone from bum rushing into the store. This resulted in him being stepped on to death by a crowd motivated by cheap goods.
What i find rather disturbing is the fact that a man was killed because of a crowd of people trying to get things on sale but AFTER he was announced dead people CONTINUED to shop and go about their business. Comparing this incident to other sales it is by far the most dangerous day to go and shop because of the fact that Americans are so frantic. On a regular day at Wal-Mart there are already a lot of sales and the products are already under priced but its not dangerous to go shopping. The fact that black Friday is advertised and the idea of a day where goods are practically free has brainwashed Americans. They would do anything humanly possible to wake up at the crack of dawn and stand out in the cold or in line of hundreds of people to buy things. This simply proves how much Americans are consumed by shopping and saving money. And with this years recession people are more motivated to save money and will go to extremes ( like trampling a man) to get what it is they want.
