This is probably one of the most tragic events I have heard associated with today’s “Black Friday.” Unfortunately, it's not the first, just the first I have read about today. I cannot believe the insensitivity of some people (in this case the insensitivity of a few hundred people). While trying to control a crowd of shoppers a Walmart employee was knocked down and trampled to death during a stampede of customers wanting to shop.
First of all its Walmart....gotta be one in every city, and hole-in-the-wall in this country, and second there is plenty to go around. Okay third…IT’S WALMART….there is also the issue of the quality of the merchandise you get there too you know. Why would someone want so badly to hurt someone else in an effort to shop? I am not one to follow commercial holidays. There is reasonable doubt Christ was even born in December (you know the part about shepherds in the fields and the Northern Star) Don’t really see all that in the death of winter in Bethlehem this time of year...anyway this is not a religious debate (and yes I do believe in Christ)
If this was a question of Christianity or how Christians act.....would Christ be proud of what happened today in that crowd?
Whether you’re a believer in the season or not, what we should all remember is to be decent to one another. For those in Long Island that were a part of this devastating "life-ending" event......"SHAME SHAME!"
For the family left behind that mourns a father, son, brother and friend. God bless you!!!
