Black Friday death toll mounting
Is this a great country or what?
As for the poor maintenance man who was was trampled by shoppers at a Wal-Mart in Long Island, I hope they comb through the videotape, track down the shoppers and charge every blessed one of them with bloody murder. There've been a lot of stories in the last week or two about what Great Depression II will look like, but I think trampling people to get bargains at a discount stores is pretty much it.

--snip-- December 24, 1913: 73 people were crushed to death in the Italian Hall Disaster in Calumet, Michigan. --snip-- All Obama voters (and African American).— Talking point sleuth- --snip-- 10 October 1872: 19 women and children were killed in a stampede and resulting stairs collapse in a synagogue in Ostrów Wielkopolski during the feast of Yom Kippur. --snip-- Yup. You guessed it. All Obama voters (and African American).— Talking point sleuth
- You know, I just can't figure out why African Americans didn't vote for McCain. I mean, don't they realize that the favored candidate of folks like batboy, hank, and OPbamaremorse have their best interests at heart? Well, they probably would have if that dastardly left-wing media hadn't fooled them. You know, because African Americans are so gullable.— Talking point sleuth
I confess my prejudice. When I heard that the Wal-Mart death was in "a suburb of New York City," I first thought of my local Wal-Mart (we are not really a suburb, but still 80 miles from NYC) and then I thought, "No, it has to be on Long Island." But I did not picture African-Americans, just white Long Islanders.

- I can't believe that they reopened the store after they scraped that man's remains off the floor. They wouldn't think of closing the store for an hour or six or 24 because they earn "profit" selling their overpriced junk to the ignorant. Wal-Mart will probably send the man's family the hospital bill. Heartless basterds!— ClarkU
- --snip-- Nassau County police Detective Lt. Michael Fleming…."I don't know what it's worth to Wal-Mart or to any of these stores that run these sales events," Fleming said, "but it has become common knowledge that large crowds do gather on the Friday after Thanksgiving in response to these sales and in an effort to do their holiday shopping at the cheapest prices. "I think it is incumbent upon the commercial establishments to recognize that this has the potential to occur at any store. Today, it happened to be Wal-Mart. It could have been any other store where hundreds and hundreds of people gather.” Asked whether the security had been adequate, Fleming said, "In light of the outcome, in hindsight, the answer is obviously no." --snip-- The article doesn't provide any personal details about detective Fleming - but two things are obvious: definitely an Obama voter, and definitely an African American.— Talking point sleuth
- "anti-social vermin like that....---}}}} Lol! That's rich. batboy calling someone else (let alone, by extension, all African Americans and more than 50% of the American public) "anti-social vermin." And definitely a "best point." lol!— Talking point sleuth
- As often is the case around here, the most consistent points are made by the sperkster. Consistently bashing Bunch without a single positive comment about anything. Except, of course, his 12:25 AM post, after which he undoubtedly fantasized about batty in ways too grim to consider. Sperky continues to be a one-sided fraud, who promotes his self serving, and maybe self hating, agenda.-sbd— Some Boca Dude
- "A woman reported being trampled by overeager customers at a Wal-Mart opening Friday in Farmingdale, about 15 miles east of Valley Stream, Suffolk County police said....---}}} You guessed it. Obama voters. African Americans. One and all.— Talking point sleuth
- Translation = batboy: "Hey hank, I'm completely obsessed with Will bunch, how 'bout you?" hank: "Yup, me too. Even more obsessed than you are, actually. What else are you obsessed about, batboy?" batboy: "Well, excrement and related body parts - particularly those body parts in males. Oh yeah, and fantasizing about them." hank: "That's interesting. And what a coincidence, I feel like we're soul mates. Say, have you ever met Idiot, Xi Jah, and sloboat? We're all going to a meeting tonight with our fearless leader, Ricky French. Wanna tag along?" batboy: "No, I haven't met them yet, but I just adore what they write at Attytood. Especially that hunk, Ricky French. Nothing would give me more pleasure than accompanying you."— Talking point sleuth
- There are no Walmart stores in New York City yet, they promote how great their store is on New York City television since they have stores in Jersey and Long Island. I guarantee this crowd was due to people coming out there from the City. The solution? Open some Walmarts in New York City.
- Keep it real. The crowd was going to buy the TV fir$800, and sell it at a profit.....— phillyflava
