In this case, apparently not a white person.

Young (34 yo) Haitian-born guy who by all known accounts was a nice young guy.

There really needs to be a nationwide test to determine humanity.

If you fail, then you’re branded an animal... and treated as such.

Humanity is a mental state, not a physical one.

Yep. Since at least 92% of black voters (some sources have it as much as 96%) went for Obama, I think it's a safe assumption that the stampeding crowd was full of his supporters.

Get off your high horse. I’m familiar with the 2008 voting demographics, as well as the quality of patronage at Valley Stream stores. Are you?

We think alike.

Yep. Never ignore the not so obvious route out of a stampede--up. (not good in a fire or gunplay, but better odds than getting trampled or crushed). I am always looking at things, assessing their potential to be climbed, stability in a stampede, etc. "What if?" is always playing in my head when I am in crowded places, which is why I live where crowds are pretty much optional. I would never relax otherwise.

Unfortunately, private enterprise must now take the decline of our society into account when making decisions.

One hundred years ago nearly all the merchandise was behind the counter, and out of reach to the consumer. I think we have a bit of wiggle room to work with.

‘Pack of disgusting animals.’

Show some disorderly blacks and it doesn’t take long for the terms ‘animal’, and ‘government cheese’ to start kicking about the thread.

And many wonder why their little world is getting smaller and smaller.

No. At other stores the crowds do a better job of controlling themselves.

You’re welcome. Thanks for finally realizing we were never on opposite sides of the issue.

Wal-Mart deserves to get sued. They should never allow these mob situations to build outside their stores just to hype some stupid holiday sale

It's not Walmarts fault a huge crowd of obama animals have no manners, and went crashing through the windows and doors, taking the doors off the hinges as well.

I'll even bet they rushed out in the same manner, by- passing the cashiers. Just like in new Orleans, it wasn't the hurricane that caused all the looting, it was the morality of the participants that caused it.

I guess truth just stings doesn't it? What those 'people' did was unamerican, uncivilized and barbaric. There, is that all better for you?? I called it like I saw it.

If you don't like it or the terms we use, why don't you take up missionary work in Long Island to see if you can civilize them.

We figured we would do without the bargains.***

We just heard that the local Walmart had to call the cops four times for problems there today.

I heard similar remarks made about these people on the local news, by a black shopper. "Savages" is what this lady said.

Play the race card elsewhere.

You know. There is a way to win friends and influence people without being downright nasty.
