The national shopping ritual known as Black Friday, which TWI wrote about today, has been marked by tragedy. A Wal-Mart employee in a Long Island, N.Y., store died after shoppers knocked down the doors to the entrance and stormed in to search for bargains, Bloomberg says.
Three others were injured, and a pregnant woman was taken to a hospital.
Here’s are some chilling details, from Bloomberg:
The man was working for a temporary agency on the company’s behalf, Wal-Mart said in the statement. He was trying to hold back the crowd of about 200 people when he was trampled, the New York Daily News reported, citing witnesses. Shoppers continued to file into the store as emergency workers tried to save the man, the newspaper said.
According to Bloomberg, here’s what was so important that it outweighed stopping to aid a dying man or getting out of the way of those trying to help him:
The Valley Stream store was offering discounted merchandise, including a $128 Magnavox DVD player, a $97 Garmin GPS navigation system and a $69 Samsung digital camera, according to a promotional flyer posted on Wal-Mart’s Web site.
Usually as the shopping seasons kicks off, I like to wish everyone I see out at the stores a happy holiday.
Somehow I’m no longer in the mood.

Black Friday has definitely cast a Dark Cloud over this country, when the chance of a good deal greatly outweighs the civility of concern for our fellow man. What savages we must be to put aside any form of compassion as human beings for the bloated ego of a materialistic path.
A Young Man of 34, working for a temp agency – the day after Thanksgiving – trampled to death.
Think about it.
God bless this Man and his family.
