Wal-Mart worker dies after crowd rushes store
By stress_in_babel •
NEW YORK - A Wal-Mart worker was killed Friday when "out-of-control" shoppers desperate for bargains broke down the doors at a 5 a.m. sale. Other workers were trampled as they tried to rescue the man, and customers shouted angrily and kept shopping when store officials said they were closing because of the death, police and witnesses said.
At least four other people, including a woman who was eight months pregnant, were taken to hospitals for observation or minor injuries, and the store in Valley Stream on Long Island closed for several hours before reopening.
Shoppers stepped over the man on the ground and streamed into the store. When told to leave, they complained that they had been in line since Thursday morning.
shopaholics!!!
Now this is what I call inhumanity...I wouldn't imagine this still happends in our times, I've seen it before when I was just a kid in my home country, but that was under the communist regimen and people were pretty much starving and had to wait long hours if not days in the que just to buy milk or meat.
If you could choose one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humour.
