NEW YORK – Police were reviewing video from surveillance cameras in an attempt to identify who trampled to death a Wal-Mart worker after a crowd of post-Thanksgiving shoppers burst through the doors at a suburban store and knocked him down.

Criminal charges were possible, but identifying individual shoppers in Friday's video may prove difficult, said Detective Lt. Michael Fleming, a Nassau County police spokesman.

I read in another article that they had 50 inch plasma tvs for around $700 or so—

Drudge should have shown this photo instead, with that headline:

SOUGHT: WAL-MART SHOPPERS WHO TRAMPLED WORKER

I wonder if the man in the center of the photograph behind the door is the one who was trampled and died? :-(

Yes, that, and the photos I posted right after the article, represents the reality of the situation.

Simply announce that the same Walmart is giving away Plasma TV’s. The perps will show up at the front door.

Drudge carries this headline with a picture of WHITE shoppers.

actually the doors are on rollers.

Has information about the killed worker been relaesed? I work at Wal-Mart (in Kansas) and we have heard nothing about the man.

Oh, well I can see why they’d break the doors down and crush the employees for *that*.

IIRC, they also had Wrangler jeans for $8 a pair—still nothing to kill a man over!! :-O

I suggest they check the Acorn voting records.
Pick the first 100.

Hey, no need to apologize! :-)

His didn't seem Haitian/French to me, and the details about this incident were pretty sketchy for more than a full day afterward anyway.

Very sad personal story, wasn't it?

From the New York Post:

"Friends were stunned to learn of the death of the Brooklyn native remembered for his gentle, introspective nature.

"He was a good kid, he'd help anyone out," said pal Ronald Jean. "He wanted to be a teacher. He talked about going back to school. He loved reading, and he wrote his own poetry."

Damour's mom, Marie Telismond, spent many years working as a housekeeper at the famed Pierre Hotel on Fifth Avenue before returning to her native Haiti.

She was flying in from Port-au-Prince last night to make arrangements to bury her son.

I didn’t notice too many white folks in that crowd. What a tragedy for this man and his family. What are we becoming????
