Grim Black Friday

I didn't have time to blog about this last week so I'll do it today. Last Friday at a Wal-Mart in Valley Stream, Long Island a 34 year old Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death. His co-worker said "He was bum-rushed by 200 people," "They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front of me. They took me down too ... I literally had to fight people off my back." Police said about 2,000 people had gathered outside the doors before the Wal-Mart opened. If anyone is wondering why Black Friday is called Black Friday its because it has been the day when stores break into profitability for the full year. I don't get why people get up so early for this when they can just do it only or wait for cyber Monday.
