We all know that people are insane. We also know that they are stupid. But this, this is just pathetic.
A Wal-Mart temporary employee was trampled – TRAMPLED, as in KILLED – by people who BROKE DOWN THE DOORS minutes before the 5am Black Friday opening. He was only 34.
From the International Herald Tribune:
At 4:55 a.m., just five minutes before the doors were set to open, a crowd of 2,000 anxious shoppers started pushing, shoving and piling against the locked sliding glass doors of the Wal-Mart in Valley Stream, New York, Nassau County police said. The shoppers broke the doors off their hinges and surged in, toppling a 34-year-old temporary employee who had been waiting with other workers in the store’s entryway.
I mean I appreciate getting a $100 camera for $89 as much as the next person. But come on folks.
It’s not like there’s a Tickle Me Elmo at stake here.
