Walmart worker dies in shopper stampede

[Saltysteele]

i don't understand why the store was closed. even our small town's walfart is open 24 hours

regardless, what gets me, is the fact that it's not like the guy got the door knocked on him, somebody stopped, helped him up and brush himself off. these people knocked him down and watched him as they tore butt across his face. all those people that trampled him HAD to have seen him. my gosh! somebody dies, and they wipe their feet on his face, so they can be one of the 10 people that gets a microwave for $25?

i've seen plenty of people die, and not once have i not taken a minute and thought about them, their families and the life they've lead. it's a life! it's not a light to have it's switch thrown. this is something with feelings, cares, fears, regrets, love, etc. someone doesn't have a son/brother/father/friend, because person after person stomped their way to a $2 DVD :(

sickening

When I was @ Best Buy they made everyone go in a single file line and only let 20 people in every couple minutes until it was too full.

Our Walmart was civilized, except for those who had their hand on the black plastic coverings, like to say, THIS IS MINE! Our store is open all night, so there wasn't a stampede. But my son works for another Walmart on night shift, and yesterday I went there to return some boots, and saw a news team outside and wondered what was going on, to find out that fifteen minutes after my son left for home, a state policeman was shot and killed there at the intersection outside the Walmart! What a strange feeling to know how close your child was, to someone shooting and killing a person! The police called and questioned him yesterday afternoon! Things sure are crazy sometimes!
