This is America ? Our fore fathers have turned over in their graves one more time. I am affraid that we has as American people have imported more than cheap goods from countries that exploit workers beyond belief, we imported the foriegn mentality that would trample human beings to buy them.

This is CRIMINAL. A man lost his life because a TV was on sale? That surveillance tape should be broadcast over the news with a reward for anyone who can identify those shoppers. You'll see how fast the police will have the names of those responsible. It doesn't help that the media and the advertising agencies push (no pun intended) for EVERYONE to shop on the Friday after Thanksgiving. The holidays have turned into a joke in this country.

I work in retail and I know first hand that a lot of folks shopping for big sale items on black friday are nothing but CRAZY!!! They have NO regard for the rules of the store or the safety of themselves or others. There is NOTHING that is worth trampling someone to death over and then to walk over this person and those trying to help him. In today's world, it seems no one cares about his fellow man and all you have to do is pick up any newspaper or watch a newscast for proof. What a SAD people we have become. WE have become worse than animals!!!

Good heavens! You'd think there was a Who concert going on in there. In all seriousness, tragedies like this have happened before, and they will happen again. Blaming Walmart is intellectually lazy and dishonest. No one blamed "Hindu culture" after a recent stampede in India killed hundreds. It's simply a matter of too many people trying to get to one place at one time. Condolences to the family, Merry Christmas, and God bless us every one.
