So Thanksgiving's unfortunately become Black Friday Eve, as many (including myself) peruse ads to get the best deals possible to start the Christmas shopping season. Despite whether or not the economy is bad or there is not an 'IT' item for the holidays, there are always huge lines in the morning before doors open up. Walmart has been notorious for massive stampedes of people storming the gates and causing casualties of shopping madness. This morning was no exception, although unfortunately a 34 year old employee was killed during a stampede at a Long Island Wal-Mart. Every year on the news you'll see a sea of people pour into the stores and every once in awhile a person or two gets tripped up and people are hurtling over them or preventing them from getting up in the holiday spirit. Some of these places with a high propensity for injury should have a medic or ambulance just sitting there for the first hour of opening. Here's a clip of one of those occurrences:UPDATE: Police Statement about the incident at the Long Island Wal-Mart:
