Woman Pepper Sprays Other Black Friday Shoppers - ABC News
Corporate mgt that makes their employees work on thanksgiving evening or midnight deserve the pepper spray
I got fired from Radioshack in 2005 because I refused to open the store on Black Friday. The customers were already fighting and practically rioting in the parking lot and beating on the door, so I snuck my crew out the back and called the police.
At Radio Shack? What were you offering, free handjobs? I've never seen more than one other customer at a Radio Shack, regardless of how busy the rest of the mall or plaza is.

mmm yeah. No way I was going to camp out for a tv for my bedroom, which is pretty much all I wanted from the sales (I can get by with my almost 20-year-old tube tv for now thankyouverymuch).
I bought some computer stuff that I needed, but didn't really find any extraordinary deals. Was looking for a new video card, but I'll wait and see if there's anything on "cyber Monday" that seems like a good deal. I'm all about shopping online.

It seems she turned herself in. How humanitarian of her!

When I first heard about these incidents Friday, even without it being mentioned by the person who told me, I knew there was going to be a Walmart involved.
This is why I refuse to go anywhere near a retail development on Black Friday. I have friends and co-workers that go every year and rave about all the great deals they get, but I just don't see how it could be worth the stress and threat of bodily harm. Once that mob mentality takes over, bad stuff happens...

no one makes you do anything. If you value your paycheck more than your free time, go to work. If not, stay home.
we still live in a (somewhat) free country.

Update on the strory. It seems she may have been acting in self defense. They are going over video but it seems as though a stampede started for half off xboxes and people were being trampled upon. They say she may have fired the pepper spray to get people to stop trampling her and others. What a friggin scene that must have been!
drainbamage said:I can't confirm, but the way I heard it was the reverse: the woman was trying to get to the Xboxes and shot the pepper spray into the crowd, which started a stampede as everyone else tried to get away from it. However, at this point it doesn't sound like anyone--including the police--is exactly sure how it played out. It's not like the media would immediately jump to the most negative scenario without all the facts, right?
