I'm sure Fox will write it all off as a holiday-related food product incident
Insanity.
I don't know who to feel disgust as more — the people who get so swept up in material goods to behave in this way, or the retailers who do everything in their power to foment this "competitive shopping" spirit. #ddtb

Shoppers went to the Wal-Mart in Porter Ranch on Thursday night for the Black Friday sale but instead were caught in a pepper-spray attack by a woman who authorities said was "competitive shopping."

Stories like this always make me wonder how society would react to a true catastrophe where food and water had to be rationed.
But…its a food product!
+Mark Means , I worry it will be along the lines of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shelter_(The_Twilight_Zone)
I like to research online what might be the best deal–that’s sortakinda competitive, but there aren’t any mobs or crazy people around me while I’m researching (shopping) or buying (buying).
@Marina – I guess I am fortunate in not having to worry about whether that Xbox is $399 or $199 (esp. since I have no interest in an Xbox), but if I weren’t so lucky, I hope I would be so bloody Darwinian about it.
Agreed. It is insane. We NEVER participate in Black Friday…we save soo much more money!!! I would rather pay full price than deal with that bullshit. I really think that retailers should be ashamed of themselves for brainwashing people for their crap merchandise…and the people should feel ashamed for such wastefulness in a time when they probably need to be frugal if nothing else. The people that perpetuate that crap are the first ones to say "The store should have had more security!!" Well, you should have had more common sense not to act like a bunch of animals. Do you REALLY need at XBox or WII that bad that you can't save up a little bit at a time and buy it another time of year? Really?
