THIS is the FACE of Urban New Yorkers.
Not ALL of them, but FAR TOO MANY of them.
Sure, just as I'd favor individuals making their OWN decisions, and OPPOSE the heavy hand of government.
But I wouldn't favor them to yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater.
Wife just got of the phone with her sister and step father in Seattle. Both were saying the CEO of walmart should be jailed for manslaughter because they had a black friday sale so good someone was trampled.
Yea they’re moonbats. Wife hung up on them.
“The person who was trampled to death was Jdimytai Damour, a temporary worker from Queens. “
oh, well, that explains it all. He was a damn foreigner!
Do I really, really need the /s?
Such is the age of Obama, and the American people knew what they are getting into. They are the culprits.
looks like the Amish/s
Supposed to be funny? Cute? Oh yeah I know—intelligrnt..adding the /s doesn’t cut it.
“But I wouldn’t favor them to yelling ‘fire’ in a crowded theater. “
I fail to see any similarity at all!
Intelligrnt? What a charming personality. No wonder your dog left you.
Yes, a lot of their stores are open 24 hours. Unless a store is closed for the Thanksgiving holiday, there is no reason for them to change their schedule. In any event, they need to do a better job of crowd control.
These folks don’t look like the “rich”...remember becuase of Bush we are in the great Depression 2...How can these people aford to spend so much on stuff they don’t really need when their childern are starving and their retired parents can’t afford to buy medicene
Why does looking at these pictures make me want to go out and buy more ammo? Or even another gun or two?
Scenes like this will be coming soon to many more stores in many more neighborhoods, I fear.
How is this like yelling FIRE?
This is an organized event, with a scheduled start time, promoted nationwide, and held for the purpose of making money. Not at all like an emergency.
The fact that animals show up at some of these events simply means that humans shouldn’t.
Wal-Mart needs to take responsiblity for its actions in allowing this mob scene to develop and get out of control. Perhaps other stores do a better job of controlling the crowds.
Today I left after 9 am. Went to Michael’s, the local Mall (because I have looked everywhere for months for a rawhide baseball for my dog and finally found one at the mall pet store), Kohl’s, and two bargain dept. stores. The crowds weren’t horrible and people were polite in my little part of Arizona. The biggest complaining I heard was at Kohl’s because the line to check out wrapped around the store. Twenty minutes waiting for something it took ten seconds to find. I wouldn’t go to the early morning sales because I like my sleep and many early bird specials last until early afternoon.
And those stores might not even be open at the time either. /s
We went out a few years back,, we are in a rural area,, still had a few hundred people in line at the local WalMart,, but it was all fun,, it was more of a festive event. Nothing like this mob. People were joking and having conversations and so forth. A few people were even singing carols.
It comes down to the kind of community it is.
The Toys-R-Us shooting is now being reported as a possible murder-suicide of two young men who were arguing over a girl.
One report said it happened in the checkout lane.
Stay tuned...
Cabela’s is a great store !
I went to another gun shop and met some true Americans there.
Obama's Youth Police will protect us all.
What if I put on a sale, say a brand new Cadillac. One dollar. First person to run to the end of a hall and hand me a dollar gets the car. Okay, everybody, when I open the door... On your marks, get set... GO!!! So what if someone or sometwo or somethree losers get trampled to death? Not my fault. No skin off my teeth.
I’m sure the guy who shouts ‘fire’ in a crowded theater would defend himself the same way.
