Happens every year
The Holidays bring out the best in some people, and the worst in many. I agree with Dougbob about the worst-case use of guns...rubber shot in my new police shotgun meant have left a lasting impression on their tiny minds (certainly their bodies).
Anyway, the rants about Walmart: it's a double edged sword. The guy that was working there did not deserve to die. The employees have little or nothing to do with their policies: they are just trying to eek out a living on a relatively low paying job (it's better than sucking welfare up). The store's policies and power are terrible in many ways, true; however, as a bus driver, and having shopped there a number of times, I see how folks with little income can go to the place and buy a few more things for the cash they lay out. How can we measure the negatives versus the positives impartially?
And, back to the story, it would be nice to see the cattle who trampled these folks be put in a coliseum of sorts, and made to fight each other for their meager, less than adequate allotment of food each day...making the winner give their food to the rest. Skud has spoken!

Everyone in here lives in their own bubble, the place where you believe you understand what manners are and etc.
The truth is, after I just drove 2000+ miles back from Memphis TN recently, most people have no foundation- and most of America is poor by my own calculation of what I saw.
You all have a nice house to live in, nice by many people's standards. And these holidays put pressure on those who do not have, to take advantage of these windows of opportunity to buy something for Themselves that they will never be able to afford normally (nor should they ever- considering they are just getting by).
But these small moments, they have a certain weight in opportunity for the have nots. Can you imagine not being able to afford a new TV, and not realizing that you don't need to buy a new one in order to get the new TV standard? I mean if TV is your only affordable source of entertainment, and you barely make rent, buying a $1500 HD TV may be a challenge.
Alas- I am not being ignorant. There are another group of people. They are the fat (not physically, but in mentality) douche bags that are the epitome of greed. These people deserve every bit of misery they bring on themselves, real and imagined. These people are so ugly inside that they have to hurt people, and they live their entire life from one possession to the next. They cant be happy, so they fill the void with cars, TVs, and etc.
All you can do is observe, take mental notes, and take the experience and adjust yourself.
It's not worth being angry about friends. Seriously- the best you can do is check yourself and make sure you aren't the unaware participant. This holiday season is about thankfulness, family, and friends. This is the moment in time where you can actually give more than you receive, and your heart will fill up with happiness knowing that you made someone's day (not like Dirty Harry though- because his version of "Make your day" is where you get shot - lol ).
Anyways- that is my two cents on this scene.

The sad thing is this has happened before. About three or four years ago a woman was trampled at a walmart around xmas time although she survived. Walmart is bad enough but really it's people who are so incited into a murderous mob by the simple fact of a cheap DVD player.....
I will never ever shop at Walmart
