Black Friday --

Yesterday was thanksgiving - Happy belated turkey day everyone!

Today was black friday, or shopping day, or bloody pocket day. Traditionally, it was supposed to be a day where we - the consumers spent, and clear out the cash in our pocket, or put on debt; and the retailers take in and smile as their balance sheet and budget turned pretty. But there are so many things that marked this year different from last.

First thing's first of course, the economy, well basically the economic crisis we all are in caused most of the companies to hold back on spending and focus on retaining their cash. Thus they are not as willing to dramatically cut their prices just to get the merchandise out the door ...... so I did not attempt to line up outside one of these doors .... and thus ... I didn't become one of these people.

If you have followed the news, you must know of this one poor temp worker from Walmart who got killed for stand right in front of the door while shoppers were outside trying to get in and in turn broke the sliding door and knocked this guy down and finally killing him while people were going crazy trying to track down what they want to buy while they stepped over him ..... Whatever the fuck is wrong with these so called "people", because obviously I DO NOT WANT TO CATEGORIZE MYSELF AS THE SAME AS THESE THINGS. I really would think that people will stop once they see they broke the door and the guy got hurt because of it. Instead they just walked through as if nothing is as important as their deals, and add to the man's suffering by storming in over him. What disgusted me more was that these things refused to leave once they heard the store was closing and that was because of them.

Hey, can you be any more senseless than this? I really pity for this man because he died for something like this and people did not have a tidbit of remorse over what they did, instead they just wanted their TVs, DVD players, and such for $500 less. This is really ridiculous, words cannot explain how mad I am to these things. I cannot call them humans because they act like savages in this situation.

Walmart, in turn, should have tickets out for their customers and at least prevent this from happening in part.
