Thanksgiving day was a day all gathered with friends and family to enjoy good food and conversation and re-live old memories and see friends and relatives who we have not seen since last Thanksgiving. In the conversations I'm sure the word shopping came up along with the crazy hours that the stores would open and how early one would have to get there so they could be one of the first one's in to get their treasures. But for one individual, he didn't know that, that would be his last Thanksgiving. It happened in New York at a Wal-Mart no less. Jdimytai Damour was trampled to death by a crowd of about 2000 shoppers as they entered the store to save a few bucks on a gift for one of their loved one's. Couldn't people feel that they were stepping on someone or maybe they didn't care.
Whose fault was it? The employees for not getting out of the way, or Wal-Mart's management for not putting some people outside to control the crowd. Can they find those responsible by looking at a security video and if they do what will or can be done about it.
It should be up to Wal-Mart to supply crowd control. With all the money they are making they can afford it.

This is really disheartening to read about. Its surprising how inhuman and indifferent people can be towards life and the right others also have to "be"
