What's the most sad about the fights is the retail stores stock special cheap versions for BF and the whole Christmas season. Customers are fighting over junk.
Retailers and manufacturers do this on electronic gear by not installing all of the software that they have to pay licensing fees for like Dolby audio management programming. Craffy materials, omitted features, etc., make other units cheaper. "What, you thought they cut prices because they love you?"
Yes, the biggest contributing factor to the violence is the retailers limiting the quantities that will be sold with the biggest discounts. Of course the idiotic consumers don't understand they are buying a watered down or very low quality version at these discounts.
No, sorry, not going to blame retailers for the behavior of a bunch of savages. Any of this crap is available on Amazon just as cheap, and it'll be delivered to your door, only reason to go to a Black Friday mosh pit is to get your fight jones on.
Without fail, there are videos every year showing fists thrown and bodies flying on the annual holiday of shopping, and this year’s big Black Friday brawl came from Alabama, where women exchanged blows at the Riverchase Galleria in Hoover. As AL.com reported, the fight was over a personal dispute rather than a scramble for the best sales, and the women were left with minor injuries. A baby was reportedly hit with a shoe thrown during the brawl.
Well, at least the baby gained some valuable street cred...
K Mart is open at 6 AM on Thanksgiving day, I have worked it before. Also the signs in the store that were hanging from the ceiling were the store closing liquidation signs, which is why so many empty shelves.
When my store in Springboro Ohio was closed the company sent us truckloads of worthless junk from other stores and we sold every last bit of it.
Many don't bother to click, read, or even look at photos. Sometimes I misinterpret and don't gleen what I'm supposed to, but I try.
I'm surprised the guy's hip was broken. When you're that young, your bones should be in better shape.
I actually watched the video of the broken hip incident. The employee was not the aggressor, he was speaking with a customer and handling a box when the shopper attacked the employee and slammed his body into an end cap display. His hip hit the bottom corner of the metal shelf above the floor, rolled off it to the floor face down and then couldn't move.
It's actually traumatic to watch - I hope the perp is named, shamed, and is made to pay for the employee's medical care and recovery as well as time behind bars. His family must be so proud of his valiant display of aggression in order to score some plastic junk from a Chinese slave-labor factory for his clan. It makes me sick to my stomach.
Breaking a hip is a serious injury, I wouldn't wish it on anyone, even on the a hole who did this.
