Black Friday Archive

Early this morning I saw a report on the local NYC news that workers were trampled at the Valley Stream Walmart store this morning. We’ve all seen these reports before. Some lunatic shoppers bust into a store on Black Friday to get some cheap merchandise with no regard for other human beings or workers who are trying to put on a happy face for all they will deal with today.

Now the Daily News is reporting that one of the workers who were trampled has died. The unidentified worker was only 34-years old. Absolutely pathetic – apparently after he fell down, people stepped on him to get into the store and he couldn’t breathe. A pregnant woman was also knocked to the floor during the lunacy.

I can’t even begin to explain how outraged I am by this lack of concern for another human being–all to get the latest bratz doll or a cheap TV.

Valley Stream is located in Nassau County and I hope that the police take the tapes of the entry and match them to the tapes at checkout to identify the people who stepped on and over this worker. These people deserve hard time.
