A "Brother" Dies In Wal-Mart Stampede

Jdimytai Damour was working at a Long Island, N.Y. Wal-Mart yesterday morning, because he had recently lost his job. Unfortunately for Damour, a stampede of anxious bargain hunters trampled over him in an effort to take advantage of holiday sales, killing the 34 year old in the process. The New York Post reports on the melee that also injured an 8 month pregnant woman, among others.
Wal-Mart had the audacity to reopen the store at 1 p.m.. I guess a man's death doesn't override potential profits.

That is a very sad story. You'd think Wal-Mart would know how to safely handle holiday shopping traffic by now.
