Trampled Wal-Mart Worker

When i first heard about theperson trampled at Wal-mart was shocked. I didn't think people would be that crazy as to kill a man, just to get things for a cheaper price. The Wal-Mart worker died after anxious shoppers ambushed the store and trampled him. The people anxiously rushed into the store taking the door off of the hinges, and the customers had grabbed numerous things. Not being at all concerned about the safety of each other or even of themselves, at the end the innocent worker; Jdimytai Damour was pronounced dead and four other shoppers were said to only have been injured. I feel discusted by this occurence. For people to become that feend over products so much to not even have the decency to respect other people. Taking a persons life cant be replaced, unlike a item. This just comes to show the priorities of many Americans. Putting replaceable things ahead of lives should never take place, no matter the situation. From all of the hype that this day receives, it probably gave the idea to people that they are suppose to be vicious on this particular day, because that’s all its known for. If people continue to act like this the world will turn into a nasty place. Getting what you want and doing whatever needs to be done juat for you to have something you want or need. These workers being up in the morning serving the consumers, and that's how they get replayed. All i get from all of this is that people are just selfish and cruel. All they care about is themselves and what they need to do to have it good. They dont care about the process, but about the final outcome. The idea of whether or not someone will get hurt doesnt pertain to them. I would understand if the man got knocked over but someone tried to help him up, but when they just leave him there on the ground with hundreds of people stepping all over him, is a whole different argument. Wal-Mart is known for having very low prices, compared to all the other stores. Maybe if they had more workers at the door or on duty in general the man wouldn't have died. Right after Christmas all you hear on the news and radio is talk about black friday. Notifying and pursuading people to go out and shop. This made people pay attention to this day even more, and inspired them to go out themselves to try getting the best bargains. What comes out from all of this is that people would rather sacrifice the life of a man, then to miss an event where they get to save money.
