The absolute insanity known as Black Friday where retailers make people think it's the only day of the year there will be 'BIG' savings for the mind numbing crap to buy for Christmas. Not only were people pepper sprayed by cops, they pepper sprayed, trampled & shot each other.

I hide in the house on Black Friday, where it's safe.

Blessings

Oh my goodness, that is just insane. I can't believe that someone would *shoot* a person over a bargain.

I guess our Aussie equivalent would be the Boxing Day sales after Christmas, that always seems to attract a massive crowd. I don't think we've had any pepper spray or shooting incidents, but there was a situation a few years ago now of people being trampled in the rush to inside the store when the front doors were opened.

Surely getting a bargain isn't worth that much!

I wouldn't think so, but people are just crazy anymore. I had thought this time of high unemployment & tight budgets would turn people back to their spiritual sides, but apparently I was expecting too much of human kind.
