When a store, theatre, arena or any one else sponsors or holds a special event during which they expect a crowd, it is the sponsor/store's responsibility to provide crowd control. Arenas and theatres know that. Why doesn't WalMart? Worse, why don't you>

WalMart has had problems on this day the last four years or so. Today someone got killed and another person miscarried because of the gross negligence of the store which failed to provide crowd control for a crowd the store generated with it's special sale.

The fact that you don't understand this basic concept of liability and responsibility and I do doesn't make me a lawyer. It just makes you a shill for the company.

On a normal basis, I would be a huge Walmart defender. THIS Walmart, THIS store didn’t do a good job. People got killed and that is tragic. Who would have thought the doors would shatter and the crowd would kill two people?

That being said, Walmart does need the change the policy and do what Circuit City did (hand out numbers) or what Office Max did (let everyone in, form another line, then take customers five at a time to get merchandise in the back room).

I suspect this will be the last time this is done this way at Walmart.

It is a bit late for me to practice being Jesus. I’m not - therefore I don’t have eternity and therefore I don’t suffer fools willingly.

WalMart is a national chain. Policy that is acceptable for the vast majority of America need not be changed because some ‘hoods are full of hoods.

In the final analysis, the stampeding animals (and that Is what they acted like) are the guilty parties.

We do live, at least until January, in a Republic where we are responsible for our actions. Those who insist on acting like animals should be treated like the beasts they model themselves on.

To put put in possibly politically incorrect, but accurate terms, beastly is as beastly does.
