Gotta love Perez's coverage of what happened...


So savage!

Our thoughts go out to the family of Jdimytai Damour, the Wal-Mart employee who was TRAMPLED TO DEATH by early morning shoppers at a New York Wal-Mart.

The New York Times reports that at about 4:55 am on Friday, a crowd of more than 2,000 who had come out for holiday deals forced their way into the Valley Stream, NY store. The six or so workers manning the front could not hold the unruly crowd back. Witnesses said the doors shattered and 'the shrieking mob surged through in a blind rush for holiday bargains. and Jdimytai Damour was 'thrown back onto the black linoleum tiles and trampled in the stampede that streamed over and around him.'

The detective in charge of the investigation said the store lacked adequate security.

He also went on to call the scene "utter chaos" and said the "crowd was out of control" and that those who ran over the victim could face criminal charges.

"I've heard other people call this an accident, but it is not. Certainly it was a foreseeable act," said the detective.

A witness told the media that shoppers behaved badly even as the store was being cleared AFTER the death, "When they were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling, 'I've been on line since yesterday morning. They kept shopping."

Unbelievable.

How can you not know that you were stepping all over a human?!?

We feel so bad for his family.

Sad, sad, sad.

I hate fuckers that act like SALES is a reason to act like an incompetent mob.

While they're acting like animals over Christmas presents, this one employee obviously wont get to open his or give any out.

Amazing how people are so inclined to be motivated by sales to gang up on stores, but not on impeaching Bush/Cheney and whatever affair is more important.

I've read about this before, it's so fucked up. Even if they were giving out FREE things it's not worth killing someone over, let alone discounts. Everyone of those people who saw him lying there and didn't help needs the shit beat out of them.
