Only in America.

Of course, we Brits would NEVER do anything like that!

Too right we wouldn't. We'd just throw punches instead.

People have been shot, and an explosive device was found in a Walmart in AZ!

Comment underneath from a Huffington Post blogger: What those who criticize and poke fun at the deal-starved camper don't consider is that many of them weren't there for the sport of Black Friday -- it's a necessity
So electrical goods are now a 'necessity'?

Leslie

The whole thing is repulsive.

... now that's something which wasn't advertised for Black Friday at Walmart - "Free Pepper Spray" (*restrictions apply)

Still, person has balls considering that someone could have just gone over to the gun department.....

Is this what certain elements of the political right would applaud as American business savvy at its best?

As a Brit I'd feel strongly enough to write a stiffly worded letter to The Times... it's outrageous!!!

At our local Walmart, at 11.45 p.m., on Christmas Day (yes that was the time, they opened a few minutes early), the police had to be called, because 2 women got into a fight over a cell phone, and brought the whole rack down.

This is just silly. People need to think back to they very first year in school when everyone was 5 years old and remember that the only real necessities to survive are Food, Clothing, and shelter.
