Maybe if they called it White Friday the crowds would be a little more tame??? Probably not.

i guess i coulda checked be4 asking.....but


Damour, who was a maintenance worker and was helping with the opening of the store, was pronounced dead just after 6 a.m. His cause of death remained undetermined as of last night pending an autopsy, police said.



and then if u watch the video, the shopper person who was interviewed(quite opinionated and definitely not a doctor) claims onlookers think the guy had a heart attack and was large guy.......


So i guess lack of air, the excitement, shock and fear could cause the heart attack, especially if he was overweight or had prior condition....

Usually suffocation, or internal injuries, i.e. internal bleeding (which can cause suffocation)....sum total, pretty horrid way to go.

The class of people that line up at Walmart at 5am is questionable to begin with. This was probably a shitty ass neighborhood and saving 3 bucks on a stick of cheese and a fucking cheap ass gift baskets was enough for them to trample and disrespect people.
And Walmart... what a low class operation. They are a company of bad decisions, from locking in cleaning people at nite, to paying chinese workers 9 cents an hour in sweatshops, to putting up their mega-stores in low income cities and asking for every freaking tax break and driving out the mom and pop stores in those areas. They are a bunch of bullys picking on the little guy. They are so corrupt and full of shit.
