Three Dead on Black Friday
According to CNN (how often does that phrase appear here?), three people were killed during yesterday’s Black Friday retail events. One death occured at a Wal-Mart where an employee was trampled to death when he was killed trying to unlock the doors at five a.m. This is arguably the more tragic of the stories as the guy was just doing his job and his killed by a bunch of idiots.
The next two deaths occurred at a Toys R Us in Palm Desert, California. Two men were shot dead in a Toys R Us in Palm Desert, California. There’s not a lot of details at the time of this writing, but the shooting may have been brought about by an argument between two groups of shoppers.
Here’s a video report I managed to dig up:
This just goes to show you that it’s better to sit out these kinds of events where tempers can flair and people lose their sense of decency.

If there’s ever a time to weep for the future of humanity, it’s when people die in a stampede at a store.
