It's too dangers to shot at Wal-Mart -- even if I wanted to (which I don't)

Before you read the copy below, I need to ask, what the fuck is wrong with this country? What makes "normal" people go shopping at 4:00 am for cheap shit from Malaysia that is "on sale" for 300 times what it cost to make the shit in the firs place? What's more, why are people creating stampedes to get in to Walmart? So much so that they are killing Walmart employees to get at some piece of shit Emerson toaster/Ham radio/bottle opener/game cube thingee. You people are nuts.

NEW YORK – A worker died after being trampled by a throng of unruly shoppers when a suburban Wal-Mart opened for the holiday sales rush Friday, authorities said.

At least three other people were injured.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc., in Bentonville, Ark., would not confirm the reports of a stampede but said a "medical emergency" had caused the company to close the store, which is in Valley Stream on Long Island.

Nassau County police said the 34-year-old worker was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead at about 6 a.m., an hour after the store opened. The cause of death was not immediately known.

A police statement said shortly after 5 a.m., a throng of shoppers "physically broke down the doors, knocking (the worker) to the ground."

The dead worker's name was not released. Continued...
