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.

Look up the NYT article on this.
That’s exactly what they say. I swear!
Yeah, they’re going to spread it around. The wealth? Nah, the animal mentality.
Remember, people, this was not for food, this was not for life sustaining water, this was not to escape a burning building, nor poison gas, nor a terrorist threat.
This was for cheap(er?) stuff.
Nothing I need so badly that it cannot wait.
Bunch of dumb heads
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.
Did you catch this comment? BDS to the max:
“Hey rodent424, this aint WalMarts fault; it aint nobodys fault cept BUSH! He made this bad eonomy that made folks have to skrimp and hunt for cheap stuff cause they aint got no money on account of BUSH giving it to all his fatcat buddys like HALLIBERTON and FANNE MAY and his big banker buddys. Now there aint no money left for the little guys so he’s got to go to WALMART when they gots stuff on sale so they can have a Christmas. BUSH need to resign NOW and let B.O. take over so we dont have no more mess like this of today.”
In fact, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that the New York City metro area is going to be one of the rare cases where Wal-Mart actually starts shutting stores down.
They must have gotten the memo that Zero was in the ‘giving spirit’. Regular ‘santa’, he is.
Let me guess... The person “accidentally” trampled was white?
Because some people are savages, little better than animals, these Black Friday sales ought to be outlawed, just like shouting ‘Fire’ in a crowded theater is outlawed. They’re nothing more than an open invitation to riot, loot, and kill whitey.
Is that the teleprompter that said “Look ethnic, fist bump Michelle”
Nice pic - thanks ;o)
And just imagine the chaos in Long Island if there is actually a JIT (just in time) supply chain disruption on food.
They were giving away books for free next door...no problems there.
I have never seen as much hatred in a store than on that day. This was Fry’s Electronics. Cursing, pushing, shoving dirty looks, threats....all over cheap DVD players, players...some that I wouldn’t even give to charity. It wasn’t worth it. We left after 10 minutes.
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.
Nobody knows. But I'd withold judgement on the racial aspects until the facts come out.
It's barbaric no matter what race/color/creed the man was.
Thanks for posting the pics
I’m disgusted with what our country is reducing to, this WalMart stampede, walking over a man dying and then in Palm Desert two men getting into a shoot out in the parking lot of Toys R US after some sort of confrontation inside the store.... and, lucky us, Obama wants to fill all out empty judge slots with judge feel good.
