Society
Is just wrong these days. So as many of you have heard, a man was killed at a Walmart in New York after a crowd broke down the doors and stampeded over him. This was 5 minuets before they were about to open the doors for shoppers. This man was walked over and the people who were waiting to get in the store still pushed people aside that were doing CPR on this man to get into the store to get merchandise. Whats wrong with society these days where a dying man is the lease of their concerns over getting something at a cheaper price? Is anything really worth all that trouble? This man was 34 years old and was hired on as a temporary seasonal employee. He died making minimum wage at a store where people could care less by walking over his dying body to get the things on their list. Walmart says their hearts go out to his family but do they really? I think if the company cared more about their employees they would have been better organized and hired more security to keep a rowdy crowd like that under control. I almost feel like there shouldn’t be a black friday with great sale prices because of events like this. It brings out the worst in people. The crowd gets a certain mentality. Its like a mob out there fighting to get inside and be the first to get whatever it is they want. Is your life really worth it?
