Barbarians at the gate

I wish I could adequately express my disgust in the human race and wonder what it will take to shake people up to the reality that you can't go around acting like barbarians in this day and age...much less for a damn sale!
Black Friday certainly came in with a bang this year.
How ironic is it that the masses line up outside of retail shops to take advantage of drastically reduced sale prices just after the day they are meant to be giving thanks for what they already have and end up killing innocent people in the process.
Two morons outside of Toys R Us gunned each other down in California and a worker at Wal-Mart in NY was trampled and killed after a mob frenzy took place as they let 2,000 idiots loose into the store. These shoppers were so desperate to score on super low sales that they continued streaming into the store and just stepped over the workers body!
One woman said shoppers were acting like "savages." When officials said to the crowds that they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling 'I've been on line since yesterday morning..."They kept shopping."
A Wal-Mart spokesperson called the employees death a "tragic situation," but defended itself by saying it added staffers and outside security workers and put up barricades to try to prepare for the crush.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!
