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.
Wal-Mart doesn’t close any other time do they? Seems like closing the doors before the big sale goes a long way toward creating these situations.
Its sad we live in a country in which a holiday sale becomes a homicidal event.
“Wal-Mart deserves to get sued. “
You exemplify the never, never take responsibility for your actions. How many hundreds of other businesses have had ‘black Friday’ sales and did NOT have this happen. It was a collection of un-caring herd amimals that did this act. Herd mentality, not a cold, mostly masonery store.
A song comes to mind...”You don’t roller skate in a buffalo herd,...”
Really? You know, we had the same sale in my hometown in Iowa, and everyone lined up like civilized human beings. How can you POSSIBLY blame WalMart for this??? You are wrong.
They used to pay off duty police officers to show up in uniform and with guns, to guard the doors. They’ve started to cut costs and guess what is gone? The police officers.

Are you ok with Sears doing the same? Or is it just stores that are identified with the “non-union” tag?
Blame? Blame goes where it is deserved... let me enlighten ya...
It was not Walmarts fault... it was not the fault of the citizens that rightfully got in line early to catch a good deal, the fault lies in the jerks that didn't play by the rules and tried to still get a deal by cheating and bum rushing the doors at this Walmart.
If you have ever been caught in a crowd crush you know that is is not the front people responsible, it is those futher back pushing to get to where you are that are at fault. In this case, you have a long line, you have the knowledge that only "xx" amount is gonna get the deals. You have people that rightfully respect this and knowingly get in line early enough to be first. Then you have cheaters that have broke rules all their lives that try to cheat their way to the front of the line. Those already in line that played fair don't like seeing the cheaters get in before they rightfully have stood in place like they should have. Both groups push and massive pushing kills.
Walmart fault... NOPE.... the morals of some of the black community should stand up and take the blame here. They killed this man, not Wally World.
Thus is life... and this mentality is now spreading to all areas of society.... and it ain't Wally's fault... it is societies...
I remember Mervyn’s used to have Christmas sale commercials with crowds outside beating on the doors chanting “open open open”
Mattress factory commercials had the sales reps strap mattresses on their bodies before they opened the doors and the crowd trampled them.
Robert Comstock used to have his annual seconds sale here in Boise Idaho on the day after Thanksgiving. It was the only sale he did all year long. Huge discounts on designer leather. Opening of the doors was called “Running of the Bulls” and they would play “Ride of the Valkyries” over the loudspeakers as it was going on. We used to camp out in front all night long.
It’s not just Wal-Mart that have these huge sales and hype them up. Do you think all store should be sued that do the same thing, or do you just have Wal-Mart Derangement Syndrome like so many other people?
