Gives a whole new meaning to "Shop til you drop."

[Captain Obvious]

Wow, how sad. Wonder how the knee jerk reactions will cause walmart to change its Black Friday policy.

The human race

[MAZIN]

Wow hope everyome got that SUPER DEAL they wanted so bad, after all deals at walmart are "to die for". Everyone of those shoppers should face a manslaughter charge.

[busagirl]

It's official... the world has gone mad... now people are being shot as well!

I starting a patition to ban black Friday and such activites. For the safety of others. Or for the mean will make them all wear safety gear.

Truly amazing... such insanity...

I went down to performance, and did a drive by at Microcenter, but when I say the line that wrapped around the inside of the store I high-tailed it outta there.

People are crazy.

[DevilsTonic]

good thing I have been home ridden today. I can't stand crowds of people as is and it's even worse during the holidays. All I want for christmas is the power to fix stupid.

I wonder if that was you that walked through the line right in front of me with helmet in hand? It was around 4 I think. Susan and I were there with her boys to get a video card. The line was long but it moved pretty quickly.

And people wonder why everyone hates the U.S.

[McVaaahhh]

I tried to go to Microcenter but we were told that the line to checkout was an hour long. You couldn't pay me to go into Walmart or any other big retailer on Black Friday. Bail would cost me a lot more than I'd save on any friggen TV.

On that note I did pick up some new Sidi boots at Performance and Chris hooked me up huge on a new lid at Grand Prix!

[madvlad]

wow dude people would rather save a couple hundred bucks while willingly risking someone's life?.... what a bunch of greedy fucks.... man this type of shit pisses me off and like devil's tonic said "All I want for Christmas is the power to fix stupid"...... I've seen outrageous shit during these sales such as grown kids beating small kids and taking game systems from their hands when their parents aren't looking, younger shoppers running over elderly people, etc.... shit is just sad man, what happened to common courtesy..... I say they should arm door people at shopping centers with cop beating sticks and/or baseball bats ready to beat some crowd ass if they cross the door like that next year in another attempt to threaten more innocent lives.

[ghostrider_9]

Yeah, I made it a point to stay away from "Black Friday" (or the "Black Plague" as I refer to it).

[Mista Black]

that's not how i see it... i see it as "people would happily kill someone just to save a couple hundred bucks." i seriously hope a lot of stores stop black friday over this. of course, this being america, it will be forgotten well before next xmas gets here and someone else will die. most americans have already forgotten how they felt on Sep 12, 2001 and that was several thousand dying. This will be probably be lost in the confusion before xmas this year.

[madvlad]

it still doesn't justify it dude, people need to learn how to lay off sometimes, that's what I'm trying to say.

[Mista Black]

i dont think it justifies it at all. americans like to be dipshits. our society has turned into a group of people who feel entitled all the damn time. when something like this happens everyone bitches and says something should be done. if everyone actually did a damn thing to change it (like not hitting black friday next year and slowing down the whole shopping experience) the retailers would fix it.

if everyone who bitched about the gas prices being so high started riding bicycles the gas prices would have come down a LONG time ago (or never gone up to begin with).

we are a nation of talkers now and not a nation of doers. we talk about what needs to be done but expect others to do it, cause we're too busy working/drinking/sleeping/gaming/whatevering to be inconvenienced by doing anything our selves to try to make it better.

one person can not fix it. 100 billion can not fix it is all they do it talk. everyone who's heart is torn out by this tragedy needs to be involved in fixing it or it will not be fixed.

that's all i'm saying. but by this time next year, everyone will have forgotten about it and it will probably happen again and again and again. and we'll still keep talking about someone else needing to fix it.

[salsashark]

^^ Unfortunately, I have to completely agree w/ Jeff on this one...

[Mother Goose]

Their deals weren't that great this year anyways.
