The guy wasn't even a full time employee. He got hired through a temp agency. I hope Walmart pays his funeral expenses. What a bad omen for the start of the shopping season.

All to save a few bucks? Pathetic.

[Tsoprano]

Saw this earlier this morning on CNBC.

Unreal.

Wal mart should compensate family, if not family should sue.

He was probably making $6/hr. What a joke.

[daggerkobe]

I hope his family sues and wins $50M.

saw where someone had a miscarriage at a wal mart due to being trampled or something as well

thats 2 huge lawsuits right there

black fridays across the country.......

[daggerkobe]

It's the stores' fault for creating a frenzy by limiting deals to 5 items per store and not hiring crowd control & security to keep the crowds under control. I wish I were on that jury.

All of these people are psychopaths.

I went to Circuit City today to get blown speaker replaced. Bad call. Took me 10 minutes just to pull my car around to the back of the building.

Looks like a 50 cent concert.

No way in hell would I ever wake up early and make it a point to go shopping. I don't care if things are at a discount or you get something for free. I am not into going to shopping malls, crowds and everything else that goes along with shopping.... just not my thing..... It is pathetic so many people do this...

[accuscoresucks]

what a disgrace

people make me want to grab the pepto-biso out

[bettilimbroke999]

Terrible, these psychopaths get up at 2 in the morning and stand outside in the freezing cold for 3 hours to have a chance of getting a 50 dollar discount on a blu-ray player that they'll have to stand in line for 2 hours to check out, wtf . Is it any surprise they are insane and would trample over someone killing them to get their 50 dollar discount?

[fiveteamer]

doo-rags?

[Bluehorseshoe]

How much theft must go on in the store today?

Controlling this would be like holding back the ocean .

[jjgold]

I bet it was minorities involved that could not control themselves to save $5.

Local reporter went around telling people in line last night that the items they were waiting for would be sold online and they still waited in the cold.

hawaiian punch?

[dr03]

this is going on all over the country. just made news because a guy died because of it. people are running in the stores all over the country though. has to do more with the basic mindset of the normal american more so than a segment of the population.

most americans are horrible people. and we've been getting worse for years and years. this is just poetic irony.

[daggerkobe]

A reporter on CNN just said that the retailers don't want shoppers to know that they are planning even deeper discounts come next week.
