Black Friday!

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. Its the day where people argue and fight over that big 50'inch TV that you want, or that iPod for yourself that you have been wanting, its the day after giving thanks for what your have and spending time with your family.


 Black Friday is also known for its aggressive crowds outside of the store. Those people who push and shove just to get in. Some families also have there kids with them, even tho its dangerous.

While i was reading an article on the violence on Black Friday I came across a very crazy one, a witness said, a woman with two children in tow became upset with the way people were pushing in line. The witness said she pulled out pepper spray and sprayed the other people in line. Another one was,
nine shoppers in a California mall were injured, including an elderly woman who had to be taken to the hospital, when the crowd rushed to grab gift certificates that had been released from the ceiling. I never knew shopping for Christmas gifts can be so dangerous!
