Hundreds of shoppers smashed through windows at a Long Island Wal-Mart early Friday morning, killing one store employee in the stampede. News' reader Nakea Augustine caught the chaotic scene on her cell phone, check out the photos.

In this case, apparently not a white person.

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.
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?

Perhaps other crowds do a better job at controlling themselves
Thanks for conceding.
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.
Not a single customer...
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.
Another great Charlton Hesston Movie..
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.
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 this is way they call it black friday.
Show some disorderly blacks and it doesnt take long for the terms animal, and government cheese to start kicking about the thread.
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.
***My best friend went once a few years back and she said an old lady punched her in the eye.
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.
