Quick: what do you usually do on a family outing? Do you go to the movies? Maybe eat out? How about steal together? That’s exactly what one family did in Boerne, Texas.

Kim Fischer of WOAI reports:

Boerne police said that they’ve never seen anything like it. A family stealing items right off a store counter. Then, caught on surveillance video, a child walking out the door with them.

Wal-Mart camera saw it all. First a man cases the jewelry section. Next, he brings in a child to cover him as he steals an entire carousel of jewelry worth $1,600. Then police say the adult let this small child do the dirty work. "She was the one who pushed that grocery cart out the front door …"

Watch Wal-Mart Take Over America

This animation just confirms what I already knew: Wal-Mart is sweeping the nation like an unstoppable virus. It’s pretty amazing to see how the company has exploded across the States since 1965. Click on the link to see it go from one dot (one store), to a few dots, to several dots, to a handful to dots, to complete domination.

Wal-Mart Worker Trampled To Death on Black Friday

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on November 29, 2008 at 2:20 pm

How crazy are people on Black Friday? Are the deals so good that they would trample someone to death? Here’s a tragic Wal-Mart stampede that left one worker dead and got several people (including a pregnant woman) injured:

The Black Friday stampede plunged the Valley Stream outlet into chaos, knocking several employees to the ground and sending others scurrying atop vending machines to avoid the horde. [...]

"He was bum-rushed by 200 people," said Wal-Mart worker Jimmy Overby, 43. "They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front of me. "They took me down, too … I didn’t know if I was going to live through it. I literally had to fight people off my back," Overby said.

Damour, a temporary maintenance worker from Jamaica, Queens, was gasping for air as shoppers continued to surge into the store after its 5 a.m. opening, witnesses said.

Even officers who arrived to perform CPR on the trampled worker were stepped on by wild-eyed shoppers streaming inside, a cop at the scene said.

"They pushed him down and walked all over him," Damour’s sobbing sister, Danielle, 41, said. "How could these people do that?

If that’s not bad enough, even after being told that someone was killed, they kept on shopping!
