Black Friday indeed

A Wal-Mart worker died early Friday after an "out-of-control" mob of frenzied shoppers smashed through the Long Island store's front doors and trampled him, police said.
When the madness ended, 34-year-old Jdimytai Damour was dead and four shoppers, including a woman eight months pregnant, were injured.
Roughly 2,000 people gathered outside the Wal-Mart's doors in the predawn darkness.

Chanting "push the doors in," the crowd pressed against the glass as the clock ticked down to the 5 a.m. opening.

Sensing catastrophe, nervous employees formed a human chain inside the entrance to slow down the mass of shoppers.

It didn't work.

The mob barreled in and overwhelmed workers.

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."

Are culturally sensitive people who say "Happy Holidays" really waging war on Christmas? Maybe... we have met the enemy and he is US.

Where Would Jesus Shop?
