The last line of the article says it all:

When you are pepper-spraying people in order to get a video game console, your priorities are screwed up and your kids are doomed.

And stories such as this are exactly why I refuse to shop Walmart on Black Friday.

What is the point of rules that are not enforced?

This article has it all. Imagine you are in a Wal*Mart on Thanksgiving. It’s 9:55 pm, and the store is set to reduce prices dramatically at ten.

There’s a pallet on the floor in the video game section, covered in shrink-wrap. It has new consoles for the Wii and XBox. Customers become impatient and start pushing toward the pallet.

People are getting forced on top of it. Shoving and screaming ensues. Someone begins ripping and tearing at the shrink-wrap. Others push over the shelves holding video games, strewing them across the floor where they are immediately trampled.

Then, a woman reaches into her purse and grabs some pepper spray, She unleashes it on the dense crowd. The Oleoresin Capsicum wafts through the store, ripping into people’s throats and irritating their skin.

The faces of the closest victims swell up grotesquely. And then? Shopping resumes as normal.
