This sale happened at many other stores without fatal results. I don't think they should have to expect that it may lead to trampling deaths.

I wonder if there is anyway to prosecute any of the tramplers...

kinda disturbing that today people would care more about saving a couple bucks on some shitty chinese products quicker than someone else, rather than the human being they are stepping over to get to it.
agreed (i do like shopping on black friday, though i'm not the type who lines up before the store opens to get the ridiculous deals advertised, i just stop by in the afternoon and browse what's for sale). unfortunately though it's easier to change how the store behaves than how people behave.I think these sales things are pretty dumb, yes, but I still think the problem is with the people and not as much with the store.

exactly. i did do the lining up at 5 am or whatever time it was once before and i didn't experience any problems either. granted, it might've been different had i been in line at best buy (i was outside of sears which isn't exactly where i go to shop, but they were the first store opening that day at our mall) but i've never heard stories locally of huge mobs crushing and pushing people.Not every person in America is so insanely self-centered.

"We've been doing this for six years now and we got beat out by the same guy for the last six years," said Lorie Davenport.
For some people I cannot feel sorry anymore.
Do these people not ascribe any value whatsoever to their own time?
What losers.
So, really, we don't know what motivates these people to do these things, nor do I think it's our place to judge. But that's just me.
If you save 300$ on some electronics product and line up 6 hours for it, there's a very good chance you don't earn 50$/hr at your day job and it's a worthwhile investment of time.
