Video: Walmart trampling update

Remember the golden rule? Or maybe some have never even heard of it. Most purchases made that day could easily be tracked through the credit/debit card users name. I would suggest that each person be brought in and photographed and those photos be compared to the video at the entrance and those who were the first through the door that actually were guilty of murder. We cannot, as a society allow this kind of irresponsible behavior to go unpunished. This was murder!! What kind of world are we in that some could take the life of a human to save a few bucks on items such as recreational video equipment. You want to blame the store, Walmart. I blame the disintegration of the values of our country where people can be more concerned with “their place in line” and “their right to get there first” over valuing another humans life. We went to a Walmart about 90 minutes before it opened. Some people had been in line for 8 hours. They had a tent set up. In what part of our society has it ever been okay for people to pitch a tent and stay for hours/overnight on private/public property?. Don’t we arrest homeless for much less, calling it vagrancy? These people who had been in line for hours were very beligerant to retain their position in line. I walked up to the door to read the hours, I wanted to know when the store opened. I was met by a few people standing up to me and nearly snarling at me stating, “there will be no crowding in line” We left. We came back several hours later, the lines had died down, but people inside the store still had the mentality of “I was here first, It is mine!!“ I left the store again, without buying anything. I went to JCPenney, where the atmosphere was much kinder, gentler and people seemed to be more considerate and helpful. The JCPenney motto has always been built on the “Golden Rule” (treat others as you wish them to treat you.) There was no (visible) security at JCPenney, there was just a different mentality of consumers. The store was crowded, there were lines. But we all got through the lines joking and laughing and spent our money happily gathering the bargains of the day. We even made a few trips to the car and re-entered the store without having to walk through a gauntlet. If a store has a limited number of items at an extremely low price, perhaps they could give out tickets at the door and have a drawing to enable the ticket holder to make the purchase. This a tradegy, that this young man lost his life. The persons who did this know who they are,(how could you not know you were stepping on a human body?) And how many people could have done something to stop it and were injured in the process? There should be something done to bring them to justice. There should rewards for bring those persons to justice. Otherwise the message is, as long as you are in a mob, it is OKAY to act irresponsible even to the point of taking a life.  As long as you are in a mob you will NOT be held accountable. Is this the message we really want to put out there??
