2008: Death on "Black Friday"

2008: Death on "Black Friday"

This years “Black Friday” added a whole new meaning to black when a Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death by early morning shoppers in New York.

 

At around 4:55 am on Friday a crowd of more than 2,000 shoppers forced their way into the Valley Stream, NY store.

 

There were only around six workers, and they were obviously unable to hold the crowd back. 

 

Witnesses said the doors flew open, and the mob rushed the store.  Jdimytai Damour was then thrown back and the crowd literally trampled him to death.

 

New York police say that shoppers who ran over the victim could face criminal charges.

 

“I’ve heard other people call this an accident, but it is not. Certainly it was a foreseeable act,” said the New York detective.
