It's unbelievable, how a man left to go to work for Walmart and end up trampled to death, all in the name of a darn sale. I really feel for the man family. I wonder how the band of idiots feel knowing that their greed contributed to the worker's death.

If I ever end up working at Walmart, I'll be sure to contract the flu that day. Yes, food poisoning from an undercooked turkey, that's it. I went to the mall, that day, but I actually didn't buy anything. I already did all the Christmas shopping on eBay.

Now that's my kind of shopping! There are a few things that I have to see and feel before I buy them, but I do most of my shopping online.

I dont go shopping on black friday, I think it is too much stress and aggravation for "holiday" shopping. people ar erude and violent and for what to save a little money on christmas presents. I cant even imagine the pain that man's family is going through right now. it is senseless and tragic.

I am sorry for this mans family. I would not have wanted to be one of the tramplers! Not sure how shopping on black Friday means you fell weak to the gimmick. The only difference is that the entir country is shopping on the same day, at the same time. As a matter of fact I am glad that despite the state of our economy that people still came out for Black Friday. The truth of the matter is that this "gimmick of shopping" as you refer to it is sometimes 50% of a stores retail for the year. Some jobs may have been saved today as a result of this gimmick.
