I could stretch things a bit and draw some connection between this and the point of this blog, but I thought I'd let the story stand on it's own. Many have no doubt already read about this tragic incident on Black Friday. I am simply amazed at the greed and fatal competitiveness that was demonstrated here. Has our society really dwindled down to this level of savagery?
What's the solution here? Legislation? A government bailout? A change in Wal*Mart corporate policy? I'm not a fan of Wal*Mart, but it's pretty obvious that it's not their fault. Ultimately, people just need to be nicer and more considerate. (and of course, law-abiding...) The shoppers responsible seem to have been caught up in some frenzy of greed, broke in the doors, and trampled the poor fellow.
Why can't we all just get along?!
