A Moment of Silence

A moment of silence for the death of human conscience and decency at the hands of rampant consumerism:

So how are they going to charge the whole mob with murder? The shopping spree after Thanksgiving was crazy enough before, but this is outright insanity.
When a police force is not enough to keep crowds under control, something needs to be done about how this Black Friday thing is done.

I've been told something similar from what my 4th teacher said to me and my class. Students didn't go out in a single-file line when he was in school, they all ran out, one girl fell, and was trampled. She died too. People are better off waiting than that they are in a hurry.

This is very sad, and just to save a few bucks :(
A life is gone, I have never went on a after Thanksgiving sale.

My mom always tells me to stay away from the crowd... A human being is clever and can control himself most of times, but a crowd can be compared to a crazy animal, uncontrollable and frantic... Personality is being dissolved in the crowd, and is driven by total madness and chaos.
This is so sad to have such a reminder of how close we are to the primal animal stage... The whole world is mourning the death of this worker, and it's sadder still to know that this man was killed by greed and consumerism mania... There is much to think about and much more to do - to change people's attitude towards each other.

Yes indeed this was a shocking display of human depravity the likes of which we have not witnessed in quite some time. This young man lost his life becuse those animals that trampled him couldn't wait to snap up some discounted plasma screen TV sets. Shocking... Truly shocking.

Peace :(

honestly if the police where there they should have been able to do more. and I agree the regesters shoulda been closed for the day and everyone kicked out for that crud
