The Day After Thanksgiving


Thanksgiving, the day when we are thankful for the things we mostly take for granted. But the day after, at midnight, most stores open for customers to get good deals on the stuff that their family wants for Christmas or the stuff they want. On a Black Friday, a woman at a Porter Ranch Walmart in California, used pepper spray on the shoppers near her waiting in line to get a Xbox, at least 10 people were sprayed. In 2008 a crowd of approximately 2,000 shoppers in Valley Stream, New York, waited outside for the 5:00 am opening of the local Walmart. As opening time approached the crowd grew anxious and when the doors were opened the crowd pushed forward, breaking the door down, and trampling a 34-year old employee to death. Wow. After a day thanking god, some people go out and hurt other people to get something they want.
