Wal-Mart Door Buster Sale - Value...One Human Life

A young man was killed yesterday at a Wal-Mart in Long Island. He wasn't in a gang, he wasn't fighting with anyone...he simply opened a door. He had recently been laid off from another job and became a seasonal employee in order to pay his bills.

Did any of the people pushing thru the door stop when he fell to the floor? No. They kept running...to get a deal on some stupid piece of shit that will end up collecting dust in a closet by the time next Christmas comes.

I would like to see each one of the people who stampeded thru the door have to face his family. I would like to sentence them to a lifetime of contributing to the care of his family. Not in anonymity, but face to face at Christmas time every year for the rest of their lives.
