It would be hard to find a more loathsome, disgusting and tragic story than this one.

To summarize: An employee was opening the front door to a Walmart in New York when the hundreds of people, waiting outside for Black Friday sales, forced the door open and TRAMPLED THE MAN TO DEATH.

To save a few bucks on something you probably didn’t even need.  And the guy was opening the door anyway, so you saved yourself, what, 10 seconds?  Were you buying that as a present for someone?  Do you think they want it now?

I understand the mob mentality makes people do things they wouldn’t normally do because responsibility is diffused.  But this morning you people know who you are.  You know you were at that Walmart and you remember breaking the door.  You remember pushing and shoving and maybe you stepped on something that didn’t feel like the floor.  Maybe you saw someone lying there and thought, “Someone should help that man!”  You were part of the crowd then, but today you know that someone is dead.  Even though you didn’t do the right thing then, do the right thing now and turn yourself in so this guy’s family can have some peace.

Merry Christmas.
