Black Friday Indeed

Black Friday started the Christmas shopping season off with a bang as stores opened their doors in the wee hours of Friday morning and shoppers lined the sidewalks in tents and blankets with coffee's and hot chocolate occupying their hands. This is seen as a day of excitement and joy as shoppers get great bargains and sale oppurtunities for their Christmas shopping. There is only one thing wrong for this season, and that is the death of the Wal-Mart employee who was trampled to death but a storm of hungry fierce shoppers. It is sad that the man was stepped on by more than a couple hundred people as not one citizen attempted to help the man to his feat. By the time help arrived it had been to late and the employee had passed away. This just goes to show how greedy of a society we live in where every person only worries about themselves and their own well-being.
