A Wal-Mart employee in New York was trampled to death inside the store, on the day after Thanksgiving, also known as Black Friday. The man was doing part time maintenance work for the store, and was killed as over 200 people converged on the store at 4 A.M. when the store was opened. The police are watching to security videos, but don't expect to be able to press any charges because it will be nearly impossible to discern who was directly involved in the manslaughter. The lead investigator has called the scene "utter chaos". Several other people were injured as well, leaving them with minor injuries, one of them was a pregnant women. A women summed up the situation in these few words, "Some man lost his life because a VCR was on sale? Please. It's just too sad for words."I would never think that I would have to fear for my families life, or mine, when I go shopping. It's sad to think that nobody seemed to care that a man was dying beneath their feet, they were only concerned with the unbeatable deals that they were competing for. It just goes to show the value that America puts on human life. These people seemed to turn into primordial beasts when deals were waved in front of their faces. I think if charges were to be pressed, they should be imposed on Wal-Mart for setting up the circumstances for this killing to take place. They know that America runs on greed, and with a failing economy, sales. Companies took advantage of peoples drive to save money, and in return, many people were injured, and this unlucky man was killed.
