They could alliviate alot of this shit with better planning. Spread Black Friday specials out over a weekend. Put shit in the grocery section where nobody would be instead of the main aisles. That's where all you problems are.

This was my first Black fri in my 32 years. Probally my last. I was more entertained then anything. I only waited 10 mins tops for a 10mp camera that I was standing right next too. When they said go people just rushed it. People jumping on top of the cameras... people was running away with like 5 and 6 cameras. I grabbed 2 more and was like who diden't get one. Some guy tried grabbing both out of my hand but I said nope you only get one and gave the other to a lady.

The people at Toys R Us weren't even fighting over the merchandise. And they shot each other becuase there girlfriends got in a fight. Stupid people.

I don't like people anyway but I really don't like them now. LOL and my fucking parents wonder why I don't want to have children. There is no way I could have a child and feel good about it with the way society is.

I how a good lawyer makes the family wealth at the expense of the dumbasses that trampled him. I hate walmart as much as the next but it not walmarts fault its the retards that ran him over. I would think it would be on camera and the police should start tracking people down and arresting them for murder.

People are so dumb its just not worth it to waste my time standing in line to save a few bucks. I would much rather walk in get what I need/want at full price and walk out than stand in any kind of line. Thats part of the reason I avoid walmart they may be cheaper than just about anyone but you can bet I will stand in line at least 10min just to buy one god damn item. Not to mention half the shit people stand in lines for on black friday you can find on the net for the same price and have the shit shipped to your door with no line, no stress, and no hassle.

I thought the economy was bad? Why are so many people so excited about shopping that they KILL a walmart worker in order to get in and spend their money? I thought everyone was out a of a job.

Now see, my mom thought the same thing you did. Ohhh the economy is horrible, this is going to be a quiet black friday. I was like no, see, everyone is going to THINK that, and all the people like me (who never go because of the crowds) will think that this is a GREAT chance to score all the cheap stuff, because they have less money to spend this year!

Who was right? Me, thats who.

Explain how you were right??? Crowds were not smaller? People did show up lines were long.. So you both were wrong!!!!

No, I thought that it WOULD be busy because of the fact everybody thought it would be slow. I guess I should have clarified.

Cool!!! I guess IMO you were kinda agreeing with your mom. That everyone would not go shopping because of the bad economy. So you figured you would go shopping due to the low numbers. I did not think it would matter period. Black Friday is just that Black Friday. Even if we were in a depression worse than the great depression people would show up. Have worked retail enough to know doesnt matter how the economy is people will show. Kinda like when there is bad weather rain,snow,ice, etc... People flock to the stores. That was a weird one to get use to. If it is me and bad weather I just tend to stay home.

I heard on the radio that the guy was 6'5" and about 270 and died of asphyxiation. Must have been one hell of a crowd.
