Wal-Mart: Your One Stop Shopping Place for Bargains and Body Bags
Here is an old entry never before published… Found it among my writings waiting to be published.. So I figured “Why not now?”
“I recently heard about the horrific event that occurred at a Wal-Mart near Queens, NY. An event that should at the very least send chills through your spine and cause you to second guess ever setting another foot in there again.
Everyone in America knows that you can find a bargain in Wal-Mart. From clothes, school supplies, and DVD’s to whatever suites your fancy, you can find it a little cheaper there. So, what do you do when hoards of shoppers, who have been given no structure or regulation for lining up and entering the bargain bin, camp out overnight waiting for the biggest Black Friday sales of the last past century.
You plan for craziness. You plan for a stampede. YOU PLAN. But this Wal-Mart had no plan. In fact, a man died when the angry crowd beat the glasses doors down and trampled his 280lb. body. That is just too sad. It is too wrong. It is an abomination to humanity when a person is trampled under the feet of hundreds of people just going shopping… Selfishly consuming more things for their buck. This tragic event is long forgotten after a day of headlines. But I don’t think Wal-Mart will ever get a penny from me again. (And yes, there is an argument over whether they should have ever gotten ANY of my pennies) I think the saddest thing about the situation is that the store where the event took place only closed for 3 hours. 3 HOURS?! To what? Wash his blood off the floor? That’s all… a 3 hour block of time to get over loosing an employee so some people can save a few bucks on junk. After all, they couldn’t afford to loose the sales for the day. Pathetic.”
