Can't handle the crowds! It's not worth the few dollars I might save. :Dtinahdeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07753631001147296511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262352516641842048.post-79072140778365647342008-11-29T19:52:01.782-05:002008-11-29T19:52:01.782-05:00Michelle Malkin blogged about the same Black Friday story. In that blog post, she linked to an article about the incident, and warned everyone to stay home, saying, "People are crazy." <BR/><BR/>Does anyone think she meant that <EM>all</EM> people are crazy?<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure she didn't.<BR/><BR/>Just as I didn't mean that every single Black Friday shopper is a "mindless sheep", much less a murderer!Productive Slackerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15242695081112289465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262352516641842048.post-29038537155818227122008-11-29T13:19:00.000-05:002008-11-29T13:19:00.000-05:00It's not the mentality of all Black Friday shoppers. That's not fair. I've done Balck Friday with my mother and sister for YEARS. It's our tradition. We leave the kids with the dads, one of the only times that happens all year, and go have fun. If you go knowing you are going to park in the back of the parking lot, it's not stressful. If we get a deal, we get it. If we don't, we don't. We go knowing it's going to be packed so it doesn't bother us. We have fun and some of it is funny. No, trampling someone to death is not my mentality nor that of most shoppers. There are animals in any group anywhere. It was a horrible tragedy and anyone who participated should be severely punished but the fact that I enjoy shopping on Black Friday does not make me a mindless sheep nor a murderer.Jennifernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262352516641842048.post-80964306125273920532008-11-29T10:23:00.000-05:002008-11-29T10:23:00.000-05:00I was mortified that this happened so close to where I live. At Thanksgiving dinner we were all talking to one guest about going to one of these sales for a television he wanted. I'm really glad he did not.Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11997572457756451648noreply@blogger.com
