The Wal-Mart Tragedy: Could It Happen HERE?

by The Rock Relic

Everybody’s stunned — and some shoppers a bit wary — after hearing the reports coming out of New York and California on “Black Friday”.

It was a remarkable example of greed. I mean, for two thousand customers (give or take a few) to actually break down the entrance of a New York Wally World as a guy was opening it for the 5 AM “Black Friday” rush showed the worst of American shoppers. But, to make it worse, the shoppers actually killed the worker in their rush for those substandard, foreign-made doodads, and injured a number of employees (including one who was pregnant. Reports that she lost her unborn child are false; the mom and child are doing okay, though she’s a bit battered and bruised).
Did they stop there? NOOOOOO!! They just walked over the dying guy, not caring if he was alive or not, and past the injured, to get what they wanted from the store aisles! (For more on the story, just go to CNN Wire).
Personally (and since much of it was caught on security and cell-phone cameras), I believe they oughtta find the people directly responsible for this idiotic “riot” and ensuing death, charge ‘em with inciting to riot, disturbing the peace, vandalism and reckless homicide (as if there’s a careful way to do it!) … or, better yet, a definitive manslaughter charge against ‘em!
And, when these “shoppers” (or, as we call ‘em here in the South, idiots) use those things they “bought” during their crazed rush, I hope they’re haunted by the faces of the children who lost their dad that day; of the mom-to-be who could’ve lost her child; and I hope the damned things break immediately as they use ‘em!
Just hours later, reports came out of California that two people inside a Toys “R” Us store in Palm Springs, California, were involved in a shooting! With no concern for the safety of children in the store, they decided to take their hostilities out with bullets right then and there!

Could this have happened here? Yes — in fact, it could’ve happened anywhere in this country. Y’see, when you take human emotion — that dealing with desire — and add an unhealthy mix of greed, you end up with a very volatile concoction that doesn’t go down well with anybody!
And it’s a brew that, while we don’t wanna ‘drink’ it, could be forced on us at any time. That’s why it’s important that, from now on, we remember this deadly combination … and resolve to do everything in our power to refuse it … as we head into this Christmas season!
