Shit happens every year, and every year these stores continue to do this silly shit. Offering computers and t.v's for a $100 and people are going to kill for the shit. I hope the workers family sues wally world and puts an end to this nonsense.

Don't go if you can't handle it.
Dude was trying to hold them back after they opened, why would he be holding them back?

He probably drew the short straw and had to go unlock the doors! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Why? Only idiots go out there and fight for it, if one of them dies so what? They are too stupid to get out of the way when a crowd runs at you? Too stupid to think, "Hey I'm pregnant maybe I shouldn't go get in a shoving match with 200 people"

unlockign the doors is different than holding them back

I agree idiots are the ones that flock to these stores at 5 a.m., but these stores create this mob atmosphere with limited quantities and idiots are sucked in by it. This time one of the employees is killed for doing his job WTF? The prego out there trying to save a few bucks well that is on her, she should have stayed the **** home and ebayed her X-mas list.

If he was trying to hold people back, he should know better.

I have been at walmart at 5am one time, just to see what it was like, and any idiot that is trying to hold the people back, can't be too bright.

Or riot gear and shotguns. Maybe S.W.A.T should be stationed at the walmart on black Friday. When the heard of idiots tries pushing through the doors they can break out the bean bags and tear gas.

and who cares if the dood was holding the doors or holding people back, etc. Saying the guy was dumb and should know how retarded black friday shoppers are does not give people the right to go full retard and trample somebody to death

wrong, read the article
The unidentified worker, employed as an overnight stock clerk, tried to hold back the unruly crowds just after the Valley Stream store opened at 5 a.m.

 

some one told him to keep the crowd down or he would've been in the back avoiding the crazy b@stards...the same as me or you.....
