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.

America the beautiful.
They trashed the doors.....Cant keep em out how ya gonna keep em in
It's chilling to know that people who would do this - and then just walk away - live in our country. I have a very sheltered life and usually don't think about things like this.
You’re right. We’re never gonna win this one, LOL!
Zero’s fault.
They weren't ALL animals. I'm sure there were lots of decent people in the crowd as well.
They can start by tracking down the holders of all of the credit cards that were processed for purchases during the first couple of hours after the murder. They won’t get everyone, and they may get some “innocents”, but hey, it was a mob, and if you are part of a mob then you are complicit with their behavior.
What does any of it have to do with the election? You could just as easily say that ‘I bet a lot of them go to church on Sunday’, and it would make just as little sense.
This is the reason I go shopping at WM at 3 in the morning. The only thing I have to worry about are the pallets and forklifts. The stockers are friendly and I have help at the drop of a hat.
Why is that?
No, the only thing that could have been done is to get on the PA and announce that the store was closed, there would be no checkout, and that the riot squad was outside to deal with any shoplifters or looters.
Could you imagine if the worker had been Black instead of Indian, and the crowd something other than Black? You would have had 'Fat Al' Sharpton out there protesting that same morning (as soon as he finished off the last of the leftover Thanksgiving Turkey).

A grain of salt in an ocean of pepper...if ya folla me.
Please, let’s stop calling these people Thanksgiving shoppers. Have you seen the photos?
They WERE NOT shopping. They are thugs with the gang/mob mentality — that they wanted what they wanted — regardless of what damage or injury they did.
They are subhuman and thugs and criminals of the worse order.
Looking at the pictures posted above,this group don’t have much to spend.
A good guess would be “98% Obama Followers”.
This is so stupid, but this sort of thing keeps on happening. Walmart needs to change its tack. All about the almighty dollar and nothing else.
I bowed out of the commercial side of Christmas a long time ago and nothing Walmart’s got is worth such a thing as this disgusting episode.
