Black Friday Massacre  

So lo and behold, chaos took place during the wee hours of the morning in Long Island, New York. The Wal-Mart greeter, or the poor man who was sent to open the door at a Valley Stream location, died from being trampled to death buy greedy Wal-Mart customers. It just goes to show that "Shop Wal-Mart, Live Better" doesn't necessarily apply to its employees.

The second chaotic event that occurred earlier today ended with two men shot dead at a Toys R' Us store in California. I understand getting your son or daughter the perfect holiday toy for Christmas or Hanukkah, but to kill people over it? Please, let's leave this monstrosity until December 24th when parents are fighting over the last Wii console, or whatever is the hottest new toy this season.

For all of you crazed Black Friday shoppers who feel the need to wake up at horrendous hours of the morning to find the best deals of the holiday season, for the love of God and all things holy, could you try NOT to kill people? I don't think that is the spirit of the holiday season, at least not at Hanukkah. I don't think Jesus wanted people to kill each other over discounts at Wal-Mart. Then again, I don't think the whole point of Christmas was to shove as many gifts under a pine tree, but that is another rant for another day.
