Does this not make you pissed off at people at general?

My favorite line

"When they were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling 'I've been on line since yesterday morning,"' she said. "They kept shopping."
I am not generally a sympathetic person, but this just really struck a chord with me....

Within hours of the trampling death of a Wal-Mart employee, Valley Stream, N.Y., customers had lined up behind crime scene tape, waiting for the retailer to reopen.
If they weren't bothered about the employee and only bothered about shopping, I only have one thing to say. Wow.

Holy shit. Walmart? I never thought people would actually break down the doors at a Walmart to get in, let alone trample someone to death.

I already knew people were stupid, but this brings a whole new level of stupidity.

I can't read this, since I heard about it on the news, and don't want to put another hole in the drywall in my room.

I know right?!

"Walmart - We got sales that you'll kill for!"

But it is really sad. An innocent man gets killed because of idiots.

I wonder what Wal-mart has to pay on that. Do they sign some kind of thing that exonerates Wal-mart of all payment due to housewife stampede?

You know what, its Wal Mart's fault, Why?
This has been going on for as long back as 2006, people did not get hurt before, but none die (at least i didn't find any previous death report online) but could they not have installed an automatic door?

they just crave the publicity don't they, now what happens? someone dies. RIP who ever he is, its stupid, just stupid, a life lost for the greed that is in people!

They seriously think those fragile looking doors are gonna withstand the force of 2000+ person stampee into the store? whatever happen to public safety in a building that is visited by thousands of customers daily?
