Wal-Mart Employee Killed in Black Friday Stampede


This morning, shoppers apparently broke down the doors of a Long Island Wal-Mart, and, in the process, trampled a Wal-Mart greeter to death around 5 a.m. Police say the store was a "mob scene" and that the worker was a temporary, part-time employee. One witness said that other Wal-Mart employees (some of whom were crying) asked shoppers to leave but they kept shopping.

A Wal-Mart employee said that, "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."

Four other people--including a pregnant woman who was knocked to the floor--were taken to the hospital.

Shoppers are sick savages. Just check out Boxing Day in Canada.

Wal-Mart will of course write off the employee's life as just so much retail shrinkage.
