Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Such heartless Maniac's. I hope they go over the tapes & charge ever person that just stepped all over him!! On Long Island, Black Friday crowd kills Wal-Mart employee by Associated Press Friday November 28, 2008, 11:07 AM Police say a Wal-Mart worker has died after being trampled by a throng of unruly shoppers shortly after the Long Island store opened Friday. Nassau County police say the 34-year-old worker was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead at about 6 a.m., an hour after the store opened. Police also say a 28-year-old pregnant woman was taken to a hospital for observation. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., in Bentonville, Ark., would not confirm the reports of a stampede during the day-after-Thanksgiving bargain hunting, but said a "medical emergency" caused them to close the store.

| I read this earlier today. It really takes the fun out of black friday shopping! I love getting up with my mom and aunt and going early to stores, but when people push and shove it makes it not fun. Poor guy.

| Yes, I also think it is so sad...... I agree that the people shown on the video that are involved in this assault/murder should be charged. There is no reason to act like idiots.... it is suppose to be a fun shopping day tradition. I say "THROW THE BOOK AT THEM"!!!!
