Thanksgiving the Day Before Mayhem
Thanksgiving is a day of thanks, joy, and food. It's a day for loved ones to get together and to celebrate. But tell me something, why do people change over night just like that just for a good price on a T.V or something. Studies show that this one certain day people choose to go crazy. From name calling to shoving and even to killing.
It is being projected that this year a record-setting 152 million Americans will go shopping between Thanksgiving and Sunday night. That may be good news for the big corporate retailers, but the shocking lack of character being displayed by American consumers all over the country this weekend is very bad news for the future of this nation.
On this very day people just go crazy. I mean it.
Last year, Black Friday violence included robberies, gunfire and shootings, but the most shocking incidents actually happened inside the big retail stores.
For example, as merchandise was being unveiled on Black Friday night at a Wal-Mart in the Los Angeles area, one woman actualy pulled out pepper spray and sprayed it at other customers that were gathered around her.
Did she do this because she felt threatened?
No, according to the Los Angeles Times, authorities say that the woman was just seeking a "competitive" edge.
I just think that people should just calm down and let all of their Thanksgiving digest and pay retail price. I mean wouldn't you rather pay more that getting pepper sprayed in the eyes. I mean seriosly.
