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.

Showing the racial makeup of the crowd was a racist act.

It’s a sense of entitlement with no self esteem they have been taught. Makes you wonder where all the Jesse Jacksons, Obamas; etc have been all these years. They were suppose to help the people; not sink them any lower. Oh they will try and blame it on others; but it’s not true. Their alledged leaders have had many oppotunities and many years to correct the situation. But the sense of entitlement turned into the elitist who in reality can not be bothered with anyone other than themselves.
Can one see the elephant in the room.
Missed the sarcasm tag, I see.
It is called - scientific deduction!
When you support abortion rights - you generally disregard LIFE! Democrats for the most part - believe in abortion rights!
THESE people disregarded Life! Or they wouldn’t have KEPT on shopping!
The probable chances of them believing in women’s “rights” are high!
“It’s MY RIGHT to shop ‘cause - I have been here since . . .”
Palin/McCain are known to value life. A Palin/McCain voter would probably have stopped to help the young man.
This is all probable - Not concrete - BUT- the chances are higher that this was the mindset of these people!
That is the connection!
Conservatives can play the race card too, I see.
Superb stretch for a sat morn, congrats.
There was a 50% off sale at a thrift store when I lived in Atlanta. The store was closed while they organized everything and there was a small indentation into the wall where the glass sliding doors where (it was a grocery store previously). There was such a crowd of people there clamoring to be the first in the door that they were pushing forward. I was crushed against the glass, my face smushed and it was getting hard to breath being wedged up against the glass. I was banging on the door in a panic to get the employees to open them, but I guess they thought I was just some crazy shopper who wanted to get in to get theh deals. I only wanted some cheap towels, I didn’t know it was going to be like this! At a thrift store! It was finally time to open and I almost fell down when they opened the doors because of all the pressure behind me. If I hadn’t of swooped around the corner once getting inside, I would have fell and probably been trampled. As it was, I don’t think I would have lasted much longer trying to breath being pressed up against the glass.
This is another reason I will never go to a Black Friday sale. That and my best friend getting a black eye from a 90 old lady in Walmart over a DVD player.
And people wonder why we don’t make laws in mob rule form.
Color me surprised. I wouldn’t have guessed the makeup of the crowd rushing the Walmart...
“A 28-year-old pregnant woman was taken to a hospital, where she and the baby were reported to be OK, said police Sgt. Anthony Repalone.”
“The baby”? Since when did the pro-abort media start calling babies “baby”?
Ah, shouldn’t that read: “Where she and the viable tissue mass were reported to be OK”?
It will become increasingly common as we accelerate the social breakdown in this country and racial violence builds.
No flaming here. That ‘bringing over the slaves’ comment was outrageous and stupid.
This is an AMERICA issue. And I know it gets CRAZY here at Walmart on BF morning in my neck of the woods that voted all red. This is a crazed mob issue, not a race issue.
That’s good. Yesterday they were saying the pregnant woman had miscarried.
I believe that Wal Mart is at fault for having these type of “sales” in the first place. it sounds like they should have known a few things here... And were willfully negligent.
I hope that man’s family sues them for $500 Million.
“They weren’t ALL animals. I’m sure there were lots of decent people in the crowd as well.”
No need to insult animals by associating them with these sub-humanoids.
Walmart got its start in rural and suburban America, and only fairly recently started expanding into urban areas.
Walmart may want to re-think the idea of having store specials which attract hordes of unruly urban underclass shoppers.
