Drudge<\/a> links to a Daily News<\/a> story that claims two people were killed at a Wal-Mart in Nassau County, one an employee, the other an unborn child, in a mad rush for the savings the hundreds of shoppers expected to find in\u00a0 their local Wal-Mart. Two more Wal-Mart shoppers were struck by a car <\/a>in the parking lot of Wal-Mart in Missouri. Our big WTF moments.<\/p>\n

I don’t know who started this Black Friday crap, but it’s got to be the biggest gimmick ever started and perpetuated by the idiot local news stations. Every year, expecting my local news anchors to tell me what has happened in my area, my senses are assaulted by the images and interviews with obese, jobless morons who would normally be stretched out on their well-worn couch with crumbs of what used to be a potato hanging from their scraggly beards, but instead decided to be the subject of a “news” report about other obese, jobless morons who camped out all night to get a few pennies off of things they probably can’t afford at any price.<\/p>\n

Here we are less than a month from Christmas, and these folks suddenly decide they need a discount so bad that they’ll brave the elements and shove and push their fellow shoppers to the ground to save five bucks on a $100 item. If someone offered them a job to stand outside in a line for the amount of money they’ll “save”, they’d quickly turn the offer down.<\/p>\n

Is it any wonder that folks who spent time in the military would look down upon their fellow citizens when they witness disgusting displays like this?<\/p>\n

Michelle Malkin<\/a> says “Reason number 99,999 to shop online.”<\/p>\n

UPDATE: AP reports<\/a> that the pregnant woman and the child are fine.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
