"LOS ANGELES — Shootings, fights and a pepper spray attack marred the Black Friday stampede of bargain hunters that traditionally kicks off the US holiday shopping season after the Thanksgiving holiday.
"In the most sensational incident, a woman pepper-sprayed other shoppers at a Los Angeles area Wal-Mart store to beat out fierce competition for sought-after electronics merchandise during a 'doorbuster' sale.
"The woman, an unidentified Hispanic in her 30s, was 'trying to get advantage over the items being sold on sale,' when she turned a can of mace on the other customers, Los Angeles Police Department Sergeant J. Valle said."

If I don't get the latest and the greatest gadget, then I am less of a human being. Forgive me, Father, for I have not accumulated enough stuff.
ReplyDeletematerialism, we're all guilty of it somewhat (well most of us anyways) but it really seems to be getting ridiculous.. I still find it so strange when I was visiting there.. Everyone talks about how terrible the economy is and people not having jobs and money but I could not get over the amount of iPhones I saw around or other big fancy phones, I've seen what those cost and the plans that go with them..
ReplyDeleteNot saying people cannot have these things when times are bad, I just wonder how many could actually afford them??
The girl turned herself in....
ReplyDeleteLA to New York there was a lot of violence in parking lots.
Black Friday was a financial success this year, but our society continued to devolve.
