The Walmart death is unbelievable:(

Just makes me sick! This is why I never go shopping day after Thanksgiving. People are too worried who's going to get the first materialistic item first. Someone dies over peoples dumbass greed and selfishness!

What really gets me is they stepped OVER the guy! They trampled him to death and wanted to continue SHOPPING! Whatever faith in humanity I had left is completely gone. :no:

Some holiday spirit, hmmmm? It's a Spoiled, selfish, "me" society! As long as people have what they need, it doesn't matter if someone else gets hurt. As long as their immediate needs are met, nothing else matters ... never mind EMS, don't get in the way of MY deal!!! That's why you'll be hard pressed to find me in a Wal-Mart!!

I have a part time job at Kmart and let me tell you it was no picnic today. People were waiting in line at 2am I was told, and when the doors open they had to quickly get out of the way or someone would have gotten hurt. People are ruthless, and all of this madness just to save a couple of dollars?

Sought: Wal-Mart shoppers who trampled NY worker
COLLEEN LONG, Associated Press Writer Colleen Long, Associated Press Writer – 2 hrs 8 mins ago Play Video CBS 2 New York – Wal-Mart Worker Trampled To Death

AFP/File – The front of a Wal-Mart store is seen in 2006 in Clearwater, Florida. Wal-Mart, the retail sector leader … NEW YORK – Police were reviewing video from surveillance cameras in an attempt to identify who trampled to death a Wal-Mart worker after a crowd of post-Thanksgiving shoppers burst through the doors at a suburban store and knocked him down.

Criminal charges were possible, but identifying individual shoppers in Friday's video may prove difficult, said Detective Lt. Michael Fleming, a Nassau County police spokesman.

Other workers were trampled as they tried to rescue the man, and customers stepped over him and became irate when officials said the store was 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. The store in Valley Stream on Long Island closed for several hours before reopening.

Police said about 2,000 people were gathered outside the Wal-Mart doors before its 5 a.m. opening at a mall about 20 miles east of Manhattan. The impatient crowd knocked the employee, identified by police as Jdimytai Damour, to the ground as he opened the doors, leaving a metal portion of the frame crumpled like an accordion.

"This crowd was out of control," Fleming said. He described the scene as "utter chaos," and said the store didn't have enough security.

Dozens of store employees trying to fight their way out to help Damour were also getting trampled by the crowd, Fleming said. Shoppers stepped over the man on the ground and streamed into the store.

Damour, 34, of Queens, was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead around 6 a.m., police said. The exact cause of death has not been determined.

A 28-year-old pregnant woman was taken to a hospital, where she and the baby were reported to be OK, said police Sgt. Anthony Repalone.

Kimberly Cribbs, who witnessed the stampede, said shoppers were acting like "savages."

"When they were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling `I've been on line since yesterday morning,'" she said. "They kept shopping."

Wal-Mart Stores Inc., based in Bentonville, Ark., called the incident a "tragic situation" and said the employee came from a temporary agency and was doing maintenance work at the store. It said it tried to prepare for the crowd by adding staffers and outside security workers, putting up barricades and consulting police.

"Despite all of our precautions, this unfortunate event occurred," senior Vice President Hank Mullany said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those impacted."

A woman reported being trampled by overeager customers at a Wal-Mart opening Friday in Farmingdale, about 15 miles east of Valley Stream, Suffolk County police said. She suffered minor injuries, but finished shopping before filling the report, police said.

Shoppers around the country line up early outside stores on the day after Thanksgiving in the annual bargain-hunting ritual known as Black Friday. It got that name because it has historically been the day when stores broke into profitability for the full year.

Items on sale at the Valley Stream Wal-Mart included a Samsung 50-inch Plasma HDTV for $798, a Bissel Compact Upright Vacuum for $28, a Samsung 10.2 megapixel digital camera for $69 and DVDs such as "The Incredible Hulk" for $9.

I'll say it again... the world truly has lost its collective mind... :eek:
