Sam Walton would probably roll over in his coffin if it weren’t stuffed to the gills with money.
On Black Friday, a Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death and a pregnant woman was driven to a miscarriage after a mob of hundreds broke the doors to get a chance to buy tampons and motor oil on the cheap.
Now, I’ve got to be honest here. As whole single entity, I don’t think much of the United States citizen. A very large percentage are fat, lazy, uneducated cry-babies with a misplaced sense of entitlement. Taking into account my low opinion of the American citizen, you shouldn’t view this as a post concerning my surprise at this, just see it as a confirmation of my suspicions.
There’s no point in laying blame. Every group or person that was part of this event did something they shouldn’t have done. WalMart has put money over human life since Sam took a dirt nap. We’ve already established that the average consumer is a complete fucktard that can’t be trusted to value human life over discount suppositories. Finally, I would have to say that if you’re making minimum wage working for a company that has made it’s billions exploiting the people inhabiting the globe, it’s probably not worth it to risk your life creating a human shield to block hundreds of previously established morons chanting “break down the doors”.
Target customers would have never stooped to this mentality.
