Strom R. – Welcome to the community and thanks for the comment.

Interesting, I did not know about that. I hope they prepare better next year too!

There are some who are saying that Walmart should be charged with inciting a riot. Either way, they should have been much better staffed when they knew that the crowd at the store was likely to be out of control. Let’s hope that next year they spend the money to rent off-duty cops who can adequately control the situation.

Hi Kelly – I do the same thing… I take a fortnight off at Christmas and stockpile beforehand, so that I only have to leave, if I am about to starve to death.

Us Brits are just as shamelessly bananas about sales, but I don’t remember anyone being killed?!?

It is really frightening what the holiday season has become – it is sick consumer gluttony at its finest, and each year it gets worse and worse. We actually barricade ourselves in the house and work or just lay low – wouldn’t go to a store if we were starving to death.

Seriously, we actually PREPARE a few days before to make sure we do not have to leave the house the day after Thanksgiving, as it really is dangerous – out on the roads, in ANY store – total lunacy.

I do not know what turns people into this type of animal, I really don’t.

My condolences also to the family of Mr. Damour.
