So it's 'Black Friday,' the day after Thanksgiving, the latter being all about family, and giving thanks to whomever, for what we all have. In Valley Stream N.Y. on the outskirts of Nassau County, there's a Walmart, one of the many stores that allegedly giving away the store in sales to the many 'FOOLS' who literally will knock you down in order to 'save a buck.' Well folks, in that HOLIDAY SPIRIT, the preverbrial 'animal stampede,' it's happened, a death has occurred. It's been reported by Nassau County Police, a 36 year old Walmart worker, was killed this morning, literally a 'BLACK FRIDAY' indeed, when the trongs of impatient shoppers(ANIMALS) stormed into the Walmart knocking down, and trampling the prostrate young man. Oh, and a 28 year old pregnant woman was also injured and taken to the hospital, for treatment and evaluation. Prayers for the young man and his family, as well as the young woman. The start of the Holiday Season, did not start well! Stay safe all.......

Here's the article; Worker dies at Long Island Wal-Mart after being trampled in Black Friday stampede....BY JOE GOULD

A worker died after being trampled and a woman miscarried when hundreds of shoppers smashed through the doors of a Long Island Wal-Mart Friday morning, witnesses said.
The unidentified worker, employed as an overnight stock clerk, tried to hold back the unruly crowds just after the Valley Stream store opened at 5 a.m.
Witnesses said the surging throngs of shoppers knocked the man down. He fell and was stepped on. As he gasped for air, shoppers ran over and around him.
"He was bum-rushed by 200 people," said Jimmy Overby, 43, a co-worker. "They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front of me. They took me down too...I literally had to fight people off my back."
Nassau County Police are still investigating and would not confirm the witness accounts. The Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death. Police did say there were several injuries but weren't more specific.
Jessica Keyes was among the shoppers. She told the Daily News she saw a woman knocked down just a few feet from the dying worker.
"When the paramedics came, she said 'I'm pregnant,'" Keyes said.
Paramedics treated the woman inside the store and then, according to Keys, told the woman:
"There's nothing we can do. The baby is gone."

Before police shut down the store, eager shoppers streamed past emergency crews as they worked furiously to save the store clerk's life.
"They were working on him, but you could see he was dead, said Halcyon Alexander, 29. "People were still coming through."
Only a few stopped.
"They're savages," said shopper Kimberly Cribbs, 27. "It's sad. It's terrible.

Supposedly, there were guards from neighboring stores that saw what had happened and tried to give the injured man CPR but they also were knocked down.
In fact the scene was so chaotic that a few people managed to step over the bodies, buy what they wanted and leave the store before order was restored and police shut the store down.

All for a cheap big screen TV.--Animals!

Sad story indeed.

Let me first say that I'm no shopper, not by a long shot, but sombody had to schlepp the new couch back home.
We went to J.C. Penny at 0600 the store opened at 0400.

Went we got there the doors were still on the hinges and no cops or e.m.s. in sight, no deaths reported.

You see the area I picked to relocate to is for the most part savage free.
Unlike the animals in Valley Stream, all went well in Nothreast Pa.

How dare them CPR types get in the way of my Holiday shopping.

What could Walmart possibly have that was so valuable that these goons lined up to rush the Golden Gates.

They should have locked the doors behind them and gassed these bastids as they clutched their Play-stations.

Jeez
