Trampled Wal-Mart worker

I did expect crazy things to happen on Black Friday, but to imagine people getting injured and one even losing his life, was outrageous. An innocent man has lost his life becuase of brainless people who have nothing better to do than break down the doors of a store and trample someone to death and all to buy their families crap made by wage slaves in China, sold by people who aren't even making a living wage to people who really can't afford what they are buying. I think that this is insane. I bascially feel that Black Friday should be banned, becuase of these people's actions, someone's life has ended and his family's happiness has been destroyed.

You can see that on this day the majority were the middle class, who can be pretty selfish and aggressive people, especially on days there are sales going on in stores. Their lack on intelligence is just unacceptable. To barge into a store, to race one another to get to that one item that's on sale for $20 less is rhetorical. I'm just really disappointed that not even one person who was apart of the stampede of human beings was capable of trying to help the people who were practically getting stomped to death. For example, the pregnant woman of eight months was pretty stupid in going into a crowd like that, to go shopping but besides the point...she was a pregnant woman and not everyone is blind. My point is all those people out there bascially committed a crime, they trampled someone to DEATH and left many injured. They should definitely feel ashamed for acting like animals.

In the article, when it discusses about the Walmart employee who died, "He was such a young man with a good heart, full of life. He didn't deserve that." This saying after someone dies is pretty common and just becuase he was such a "nice" guy doesn't mean he wouldn't have died any time soon...but on the other hand he was a very young man to die at age 34 must be pretty hard to believe and I really feel bad for his family that now has to go through this sorrow and pain. They must feel furious to know the way he died. He literally trampled to death and no one helped until it was too late.

Throughout all of this you can tell how people live in our culture, as long they're getting what they want, they really do not care. Their priorities are to get everything others don't have or already have, trying to live as happy as possible and to do the right thing. None of those make sense or exist in my life. You make mistakes but you get right back up and keep living. There's no right or wrong way to live in my book but going to the extent to getting someone killed to get what you wanted, is just plain wrong.
