Worker dies in Black Friday store rush

What's new here? "People value their 'stuff' more than human life" shocker? Get real...

Good thing the people who rushed in like vikings during a raid got to leave with their purchases.

This is why I'm anti-social and I hate people. They don't know how to drive. They have absolutely no respect for others. You show them one simple act of kindness and they'll treat you like crap... and they leave their carts in the parking lot. Give me one damned good reason why an able bodied man/woman under the age of 50 can't walk their damned cart 20 feet to put it away so it doesn't roll off and hit someone else's car.

I hate this season. Instead of love all we see is the ugly side of everyone. These people are foaming at the mouth with their claws extended trying to kill the person in front of them to get the last Tickle Me Emo doll.

I agree 110%. Especially the part about the shopping carts. Damn that pisses me off.

Guess the Megadeth song isn't that far off

"Killer, intruder, homicidal man
If you see me coming run as fast as you can
Blood-thirsty demon who's stalking the street
I hack up my victims like pieces of meat"

I was on my way home last night from Thanksgiving dinner around 9:30PM and there were a LOT of tents and people lined up outside of the Best Buy waiting for the opening today. This is even though they have been running an ad campaign saying there is no reason to rush in the doors at opening as the sales would go on all day and stock would be high. I guess people will find absolutely anything to freak out over.

They could have saved more if they bought online at newegg or mwave.

Not always, but it certainly can be...i've been tempted to go to one of the sales and not buy anything, but have shoulder pads on under my coat just so i can check people onto their ass who try to run me over. People can be mean, but I'm meaner!

You know what would be even more fun...

Go in and get the last of a certain item, multiple if possible, with NO intention of buying them. Just get the sale items and haul them around in your cart. Then go to the checkout, be extremely slow, and then reach for your wallet and find out you forgot it.

Then to make it worse say "I'm going to run out to my car and get it" but don't come back.

You'd get to see people turn feral, and most likely rabid. Speaking of which, I always did want to do that alka seltzer trick. I never had the balls for it though. Altho with the way things are these days you'd probably get shot, or at least tazered half to death.

It kind of makes me think of the original Dawn of the Dead and the Zombies that instinctively return to the Malls. Mindless consumers desperate to accumulate as many material possessions as possible.

Hey I got a great idea!!!! I think newegg and other etailers should use this dead guy's image as a marketing campaign! :-D

"Save your gas, and your life. Shop online!"

... no but seriously this is the most disgusting thing I've seen in a long time.
