Killing For Bargains

A Wal-Mart worker was killed today when "out-of-control" shoppers desperate for bargains broke down the doors at a 5 a.m. sale. You fucking animals.

Other workers were trampled as they tried to rescue the man, and customers shouted angrily and kept shopping when store officials said they were closing because of the death, police and witnesses said. "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."

At least four other people, including a woman who was eight months pregnant, were taken to hospitals for observation or minor injuries, and the store closed for several hours before reopening. Shoppers stepped over the man on the ground and streamed into the store. Police said about 2,000 people were gathered outside the store doors at the mall. The impatient crowd knocked the man, identified by police as Jdimytai Damour, to the ground as he opened the doors, leaving a metal portion of the frame crumpled like an accordion.

Dozens of store employees trying to fight their way out to help Damour were also getting trampled by the crowd. And what was Damour killed for? Items like a Samsung 50-inch Plasma HDTV for $798, a Bissel Compact Upright Vacuum for $28, a Samsung 10.2 megapixel digital camera for $69 and DVDs such as "The Incredible Hulk" for $9.

Police said criminal charges were possible in the case, but it would be difficult to identify individual shoppers. Authorities were reviewing surveillance video.

Wal-Mart called the incident a "tragic situation" and said the employee came from a temporary agency and was doing maintenance work at the store. Translation: "Let the family sue the agency that hired him to us, because we're not liable for non-employees." But they did add, "The safety and security of our customers and associates is our top priority" .

You're already an asshole if you shop at Wal-Mart, but these savages are just the worst humans there are.
