This is all over the Bloomy and all the big MSM sites, but Dealbreaker echos my sentiments exactly. People actually broke down the doors of a Walmart like blood-thirsty animals, trampled a temporary Walmart worker to death, all to be first in line to buy a TV. That’s right. A television.

Quoted verbatim from Dealbreaker:

You don’t have to vacation to Mumbai to be savagely murdered. Just position yourself in front of a throng of sale-crazed animals. Anytown America will probably get the job done but if you really want to up your chances, you gotta go with epicenter of batshit blood-thirsty insanity, i.e. Long Island. A 34-year old Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death this morning at a WM in Valley Stream after being knocked to the ground while trying to restrain the throng of “savages” trying to get their hands on a deeply discounted flat screen. In the same stampede, a pregnant shopper was pushed over and may have suffered a miscarriage.

Seriously. Do we need cheap TV’s and other stupid fucking material shit that bad?
