I'm guessing you haven't heard of the shooting at the Toys R Us last Friday. Someone did bring a gun and two people died there. My question is, "Who needs to bring a gun to Toys R Us?!!!"Cactus wrote:Sounds like the sort of activity involved in storming a castle rather than going shopping. I wonder if any of the shoppers was armed in case they got in a fight over a certain last-in-stock item?

The family of the victim is suing Walmart. While they believe that the mob was more responsible for the incident, they believe that Walmart could have done more to control the mob. While I agree that Walmart could have done more, I don't see them being at fault at all. There was additional security for that event so it wasn't like there weren't preparing for some extra craziness. And I seriously don't agree with suing Walmart while letting the unapologetic mob itself get away with murder. That is completely wrong and it send the wrong message.
The barbaric crowds have going on since the invention of black Friday but no company (that I've heard of) has taken precautions against injury.
But still, it is a shame Wal-Mart has to take the punch, when clearly the mob should be held culpable.
