Why would anyone act this way for material things?? Are their lives so dismal that they have to fill them with nothing but consumerism? I don't even go out into town on Black Friday and haven't for years. I find it completely disgusting.

2000 people and no security guards.Just a few Walmart workers. So they do have a responsibility, but its very sad that people would act that horribly.

Video I watched showed people coming out with shopping carts full as the body was being loaded into the ambulance. We as a society have a responsibility not to be such ignorant consumers that put a human beings life below a marked down HDTV.

I am not buying anything this year. Ill make my presents.

OMG! That is so disgusting. Who are those people that they could show so little regard for a tragedy? Even more so, why didn't the Walmart store manager(s) close the store?

This was absolutely, completely Walmart’s fault. We were at the Riverhead store, also on Long Island. Walmart provided NO SECURITY whatsoever. We began waiting in line at approx 2 am. The crowd was amicable until around 4am, when line-jumpers be...
