BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - Shoppers waited out in the cold wet weather for hours. When the doors opened at 4 a.m. the Black Friday chaos turned ugly.

Seconds after the doors opened, something went dangerously wrong.
Crazed Black Friday shoppers began piling up on each other.
"It went from controlled to a mob in less than five minutes and it just got nasty," said a shopper.
When officials heard the screams, they ran over right away to help.
Shopper Rich Mathewson said, "It was a lot of angry people just jumping in after we waited patiently for a long time. It actually started way before that, people started getting angry at everybody."
After it happened, one man bent over in pain but he took off into the North Buffalo Target store seconds later, along with everyone else.
Seconds after the pile up, shoppers got back to business. News 4 called store officials to see if anyone was injured, but no one was available to comment.

4 AM. I could get up and go out and face a violent mob of crazed shoppers, or roll over and go back to sleep.
Decisions, decisions.

Being at the door at 4am for a BF sale is like jumping into a lion’s den at the zoo. You deserve what you get because if you’re gonna be stupid, you better learn to be tough.

That’s I think of it. Sit out in the cold waiting for a possible deal and angry people or I could cuddle with my husband. That was an easy decision.

A story/picture of a society which has been methodically groomed to not value human life or human lives as God-given and unique.... in jungle terms it is called the survival of the fittest... “Love thy neighbor as thyself” has been laughed out of our schools, beginning the Pre-K and finding its ultimate seat in universities, and out of our workplace as the out-of-date thoughts of the “unwashed”.
I'm reminded of C.S. Lewis words about the school system in England “we create men without chests...”

Experience the joy of the Christmas Season! I have two daughters in their 20s. I ordered a few things on-line for them and that's it. Everyone together at Christmas dinner puts a smile on my face.

Did anybody see Fox about an hour ago? They interviewed a black shopper with the caption below “Black Friday Shopper.” It was just funny...lawsuit to follow!

People have scrimped and saved, sweating out inflation and their devalued money, and now they can get some deals they can afford. Watch the media pump it up as a sign the economy is improving. That will go along with a boost in employment preceding a sharp drop in January.

Seconds after the doors opened, something went dangerously wrong.Not really. This happens every year.
Just like the "running with the bulls" it is expected and not at all surprising that people are going to get injured on Black Friday.
