A Black Friday

THE NEWS that yesterday shoppers in Long Island trampled a WalMart employee to death is beyond disturbing. For plastic toys and cheap consumer electronics? There are many sets of bloody hands here: hundreds of clearly clueless and morally bankrupt people (I won't use the word "citizen," for they don't deserve it) who didn't find crashing through the doors of a business at 4:55 AM inappropriate, or consider stepping on another human being something to avoid, and retailers and marketeers who seek to work the populace into a frenzy each Black Friday. Well, this time: Mission accomplished.

Jdimytai Damour was 34.
