Wal-Mart Worker Trampled To Death
Customers in a frenzy for deals at a Long Island Wal-Mart trampled an overnight stock clerk to death, the NY Daily News reports. Witnesses said he tried to hold back the crowds as they took the doors right off their hinges in the dash when the store opened at 5 a.m. this morning for Black Friday:
“He was bum-rushed by 200 people,” said Jimmy Overby, 43, a co-worker. “He was trampled and killed in front of me. They took me down too…I literally had to fight people off my back.”
A pregnant shopper who made her way inside the store with the masses was pushed to the ground and suffered a miscarriage, a witness said. Sadly, no one stopped to help the victims:
Before police shut down the store, eager shoppers streamed past emergency crews as they worked furiously to save the store clerk’s life.
“They were working on him, but you could see he was dead, said Halcyon Alexander, 29. “People were still coming through.”
Only a few stopped.
“They’re savages,” said shopper Kimberly Cribbs, 27. “It’s sad. It’s terrible.”

That’s horrible. I for one have never rushed into a store, especially Wal-Mart to score a hell-of-a-deal. I think every person that came into the store should be charged with involuntary manslaughter and everything they purchased should have to be taken back to the store without a refund. They helped take a human life, who cares how their Christmas is.
And what about the women who lost her baby? Sheesh. Cold-hearted idiots.
