Personally my time matters to me. I will be happy to pay a little more and not wait in a line deal with huge crowds or deal with increased traffic.
Never shopped Black friday and I never will.

Default Disgusting really

A plethora of governments & conspiracies are involved in this. The stores will suffer in sales and need a "bail out" causing a massive wave of closures which in turn bring down many other economies around the world even more so than they already are. What ensues next is country after country needing help and "bail outs" which in turn banks somehow "come up with" and therefore control of many countries falls to the hands of the banking system forcing a one world economy.

It's very sad I think.A guy working to maybe pay the bills for his family is killed just so some one can get a digital camera or a toy for their child. I hope they use the video to press charges against these people. They go home to their family and say hey look I got this PlayStation 3, meanwhile a family spends it's holiday season in grief because their family member is dead. Are we so materialistic a object has taken more value than that of a human life?

Maybe it is just me; but this ties in with the lack of respect for others on the road; or in a lot of other situations. It seems like respect is dying as long as you are in a crowd or in a car you are faceless and therefore it does not matter. People wake up please !
