This takes the fun out of Black Friday, doesn't it? Only in America people trample each other for sales just hours after supposedly being THANKFUL for what they have.

Ah, to so many it means little or nothing.

I didn’t jump into “Black Friday” stuff. Not because I didn’t have enough. But because I want time to think.

Not familiar with the Hamilton Mall. Do they allow whites to shop there?

Wait. Too soon?

[Jack Hydrazine]

When will Black Friday be considered racist?

When I was back east a few years ago, I did some shopping at the Hamilton Mall, which is located pretty much where US 40 and US 322 meet and merge. Most of the people there were white with a few blacks from Atlantic City and environs.

Actually, I was just making a little joke playing off the controversy of the play, "Hamilton", the one where VP-elect Pence was lectured by the actors to embrace diversity while the casting call notified whites not to apply for the.....oh, forget it. Having to explain a joke sucks all the funny right out of it.

Besides, death is not a laughing matter.

... outside a Macy's department store, at 1:05 a.m.

I'm going to guess they ran into some people they knew, perhaps because they'd announced on social media where they would be.

Vic’s been ID’d. Headline’s a bit misleading considering info on the obstruction charge buried halfway down the article...

Thanks. This makes it even more likely that it was a gang hit.

Hamilton Mall - Broadway show “Hamilton” - is it a coincidence??????

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Ironic that on a day where we are supposed to “Give Thanks” to the Lord above for our blessing and what we have that we end up killing each other for more of the same.

Satan smiles....

I hate Black Friday FWIW...

The mall is located in Hamilton Township, the county seat of Atlantic County. Mays Landing, which is how it appears on a map, is a neighborhood of Hamilton Township.

Thanks - been up the area from time to time - just couldn’t help myself with that particular bit of nonsense.
