thistlechaserThis morning, in New York: Wal-Mart Employee Trampled to Death by Customers .
The person killed was 34 years old. By damned idiot shoppers. At a Walmart. Someone lost their life so that people could get a discount on some material thing that they didn't even need. (No, you do not need a HD TV. You do not need an xbox. There's a difference between wanting and needing.) If you were starving to death and if that store was the only place with food, then maybe I could understand this sort of thing. But otherwise? No. Just no.
I just can't believe people... This makes me sick.
