Wal-Mart Employee Killed By Black Friday Stampede
Early this morning, a Long Island Wal-Mart employee was crushed to death by an overanxious crowd of Black Friday shoppers. Apparently the crowd grew so large, the doors could no longer contain them. When the doors broke off their hinges, the crowd poured in like water through a broken dam. Unfortunately, the worker was standing in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Human stampede deaths are something you expect to hear about in third world countries, not “civilized” countries like ours.
I looked at all the major store ads for Black Friday, including Wal-Mart, and can’t figure out what the big deal is. There were a few decent bargains, but nothing spectacular that I would call a “doorbuster”.
