I didn't hit the stores Friday until 3pm and it wasn't much more than the normal weekend crowd by that point. In Iowa if it was hectic it had to be early in the morning.
When I read this article about a woman being trampled trying to get in to a Walmart for a DVD player for 30 bucks I wasn't surprised, I can believe it. What is so shocking about that?
Now lets face it anybody that would line up at 6am to get a damn cheap DVD player is already not thinking clearly. Watch the woman sue and make millions because she put herself in a pack of dogs and couldn't hold her own ground.
Ahh, the American way.
I read that too and could not believe what people will do to get a dvd player. There is nothing any store has that would make me go through that.

It's not Wal-Mart's fault, but they will be held liable because it happened at the store.But it's definitely not her fault. She was waiting in line. Why couldn't the other people wait their turn?
I was shocked. Maybe I don't spend enough time shopping at supercenters, but I couldn't believe the callousness of the other shoppers or of Wal-Mart's response.
Posted by: Dawn at November 30, 2003 03:19 PMWhile I don't see the point of battling the crowds to get deals on Christmas gifts, I also don't believe anyone at the stores during that time deserves to be injured standing in line. She couldn't hold her ground? Yea, I guess you were there and would know. It couldn't have possibly been that people were acting like complete animals and knocked her down. Jeez ...
so I suppose if your plane had crashed over the Thanksgiving weekend I'd just say, "Well maybe you should have thought twice about traveling during a busy time of the season"? Whatever.
Of course if my plane crashed I would be saying...what a stupid fuck I was. Also I don't believe she was standing in line, they were rushing in the door...let's not forget for a damn cheap ass DVD. C'mon now how damn smart is it to rush in a Walmart for that? Or maybe that's your thing. Whatever.
