Police were reviewing video from surveillance cameras in an attempt to identify who trampled to death a Wal-Mart worker after a crowd of post-Thanksgiving shoppers burst through the doors at a suburban store and knocked him down.
Other workers were trampled as they tried to rescue the man, and customers stepped over him and became irate when officials said the store was closing because of the death, police and witnesses said.
What the hell?! What is WRONG with these people?
Is getting that plasma really worth killing over? All of those shoppers that stepped on/over that Wal-Mart worker should be charged with manslaughter, in my opinion. It's an embarrassment to the civilized world. It's humiliating to me that I live in a country where materialism is so idolized that people's lives take second place.
I think we as Americans are way too consumerist and materialistic. It's a blight on society, as we unfortunately see here. Holidays are reduced to dollar-blitzkriegs, while we are only concerned about the latest name brand.
Sad.
