Our humanity becomes very black on Black Friday

Published by kamirusma under Uncategorized Edit This

I was shocked and disgusted to read that a WalMart worker in New York state was killed by a bloodthirsty crowd - out for bargains!

Apparently, when he opened the doors he was bowled over by the throngs of bargain hunters - who stepped over his body while they were focused on getting the items they’d been waiting for.

Some even complained when they had to stop their shopping and leave the store because a death had occurred!

What has our society come to when a person’s life is worth less than the hot ticket item on Black Friday?

It looks like we’re well on the way to becoming a cannibalistic society - devour the person who gets in your way or blocks you from your goal. Don’t think twice about it and don’t have remorse - after all, it’s every man for himself!

I’m disgusted and I hope more people express their outrage.

I’m especially offended that a sacred event like Christmas has been degraded to such as this. Perhaps if people would get back to the real meaning of Christmas - not the bargains and the gifts - they would take the time to help their fellow man, not mow him down.

One response so far
