But you're not. So don't try to do their job. And actually, the General US forum is exactly the place for a thread like this. The others threads should be merged into this one. This news story isn't about Politics. It isn't about shopping per se. It's about the sad state of culture and life in the US as a whole.

True that, he's a wannabe moderator, who cares what section its in anyway? does that really change anything?
This incident is a reflection of the stupidity of our nation or the stupidity of our general U.S.

Consumerism and materialism gone too far. That's what our media teaches us.

Seems this stampede shopping mentality on black friday undermines the true spirit of Christmas. I'm glad to say I don't partake of such nonsense. Wish nobody else did either. Sick world we have gotten to be.
