    This is so tragic. What will it take for people to see how ridiculous this shopping frenzy is? How far the commercialization of Christmas has gone? There is nothing anywhere that would make me need to act that crazy just to buy something on sale. True insanity!!

    Rest in Peace Poor Man


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    Sick. It's almost like people "think" they are supposed to act this way and so they do You couldn't pay me to go anywhere near the stores on this hyped up day.

    How very tragic indeed. I refuse to be part of Black Friday Madness - my life is worth more to me than getting a great bargain. It just seems to get worse every year - and I shop more on line every year also.

    My sympathies go out to that poor man's family! RIP Sir!

    There used to be a time that stores did not open until regular business hours regardless of the black friday thing. To boot, it used to be illegal to be on private store property when the store was closed. If they had just stuck to both of those things it 'might' have prevented this horrible thing from happening.

    Just goes to show that thousands of people value STUFF more than PEOPLE.

    I feel sorry for the families of the person that died and also for those that were injured and their families as well.

    How tragic! And he wasn't even a regular employee, just a from a temp agency.

    People are behaving more and more like animals. It's just sad.

    I avoid Black Friday sales and the malls like a plague. You couldn't pay me to do shopping at this time of year.
