Shoppers Dying, Pepper Spray Aplenty and Stomping Galore: Just Another Crazy Thanksgiving Weekend (videos)!

AL | 9:12 PM |

Thanksgiving brings families together. People unite and share in a spirit of kindness and giving. Thanksgiving also causes mass hysteria with breakneck sales at early hours of the morning...Here are some weirder things that happened ~ The Highlights...

Walter Vance, a 61 year- old drugstore owner was at the midnight Black Friday sale when he suffered a heart attack. Most shoppers ignored him as they grabbed all the sale items in sight. Eventually, an off-duty paramedic and an ER nurse stopped to help. The nurse administered CPR and someone called 911. He died at the hospital.

Others tried to get the edge on fellow shoppers by using pepper spray, lots of it.......



In the Thanksgiving NFL Football clash between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers, Ndamukong Suh, was ejected from the game for violent conduct worthy of a seasoned Black Friday shopper.


His explanation.....


”My intention was not to kick anybody, as I did not, removing myself,” he said. “I was on top of a guy, being pulled down, and trying to get up off the ground — and why you see me pushing his helmet down, because I’m trying to remove myself from the situation, and as I’m getting up, I’m getting pushed, so I’m getting myself on balance.” 

Perhaps it's time to review a savage shopping ritual that is claiming lives, leaving people injured and turning many a sane person into a total douchebag. The whole Early morning opening simply creates a sleepless, desperate atmosphere that maximizes hysteria. You have to ask yourself, is it really worth it? If people are getting hurt and going ape-shit over it perhaps it should be reviewed.
