Wal-Mart worker dies after shoppers knock him down

holy shit

quote:
NEW YORK � A worker died after being trampled by a throng of unruly shoppers when a suburban Wal-Mart opened for the holiday sales rush Friday, authorities said.

At least three other people were injured.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc., in Bentonville, Ark., would not confirm the reports of a stampede but said a "medical emergency" had caused the company to close the store, which is in Valley Stream on Long Island.

Nassau County police said the 34-year-old worker was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead at about 6 a.m., an hour after the store opened. The cause of death was not immediately known.

A police statement said shortly after 5 a.m., a throng of shoppers "physically broke down the doors, knocking (the worker) to the ground." Police also said a 28-year-old pregnant woman was taken to a hospital for observation and three other shoppers suffered minor injuries and were also taken to hospitals.

The dead worker's name was not released.

"Local authorities are looking into the situation," said Wal-Mart representative Dan Fogleman. But he said it would be "inappropriate for me to share any additional information" until authorities investigate further.

Shoppers around the country lined up early outside stores in the annual bargain hunting ritual known as Black Friday. Many stores open early and stay open late. The Valley Stream Wal-Mart usually opens at 9 a.m.

Death is common in capitalist societies.

I guess death will disappear along with the profit motive when communism is established, then?

I live 15 minutes from that mall area. Not suprising because that store is on the border of a semi-crap area(west valley stream) and a crap area(rosedale). The place is always packed and well today I could imagine double or triple that leading to this

The only reason my gf would go to the Green acre mall was for Arby's but they took it away Now its all fried chicken places

People are so beyond fucked up it boggles the mind.

Common... you needed to get into the fucking Wal-Mart that desperately that you had to trample someone and kill them?

They should pull the security cameras and jail every single one of the ******s who stepped on him. You and your selfish ass can enjoy Christmas alone, rotting in a cell.

Aww common, everyone else was doing it and you don't want to miss out!

This year is also one I managed to avoid any retail involvement at any level and I'm also a much happier person because of it.

Some facts about good ol' green acres..
-the mall is mainly black people.(proximity to queens)
-It is the only mall I know of with a movie theater that has metal detectors at the main entrance
-Has Restaurant called Bronx BBQ with comedy on friday nights
-Best thing is for some reason ?? there is a dunkin donuts that always has a donzen donuts for about 3$ all day everyday. Def good for a group of friends.

About the trampling I can't beleive they did not care and kept on stepping on that person. I mean if people actual cared and knew this person was on the floor I would of def took a few extra seconds to progress to the front door. Wal-mart probably lawyered up for this by now. Will see the after math def by Monday.

You can get a hell of a lot of savings by not having to pay rent when you're sitting in jail for being a total douche wad.
