Top 10 Worst Black Friday Incidents
Black Friday's coming up, and I couldn't be more concerned. The past Black Fridays have been terrible and have had their fair shares of ridiculously stupid incidents. A lot of incidents lead to death, injuries, and even employees get in the mess. It's really ridiculous we have to go so wild over worthless deals you could find anywhere.So with that said, here are some of Black Fridays worst catastrophes.
Two women were fistfighting, for who knows what, in Toys "R" Us. Two men accompanying them pulled guns and began shooting, eventually shooting each other. Neither woman was harmed by the shots.
This incident happened near me. It had nothing to do with shopping or toys, other than on that crowded day, two rival gangbangers spotted each other in the Toys R Us. Both died. Good riddance.
Considering this is arguably one of, if not the only, Black Friday incident that actually resulted in a death due to the selfishness and greed of inconsiderate consumers, I think it goes without saying that this item should be numero uno on this list ASAP.
In 2008, a Walmart employee was killed by a stampede of customers. This death led Walmart to do a major overhaul of their sales practices.
What's worse than being trampled by a stampede of crazy customers? Gosh, I hate Black Friday.
My heart truly goes out to this poor woman. Nothing is worse than this. This woman's life has now changed forever, and all because of greedy bargain-hunters. So, so pointless and tragic.
In Walmart, customers were stampeding to the door, and one woman was knocked down and kicked around, resulting in a miscarriage.
Walmart can be a dangerous place when they half-price an Xbox.
After shopping with his family, a sleep-deprived father crammed his four daughters in the back of his car, which was only fit for three. He drove out and crashed his car, killing two of his daughters.
I can only ask one question: Was that father rightfully arrested for putting all of his daughters in danger and killing two of them?
It was really bad that a shopper crashed a car.
Pepper spray is painful. You might not think so, but just watch the reactions of people getting pepper spray in their faces. It's much worse than you'd imagine. I would never spray people with such a painful substance over some stupid bargains.
Pepper spray once got set off in our classroom, and we had to evacuate. Believe me, pepper spray is awful, and you should only use it for emergencies, not because you want something you could easily order online.
In 2011, a woman at Walmart waited for some items to be unveiled. When they were, she pepper-sprayed all the customers in her way.
Police officers at Walmart tackled a grandfather who was caught allegedly stealing games for his grandson. He was knocked out cold and later arrested.
It is horrible that the police tackled this grandpa. I saw another comment saying he was just protecting it. Irresponsible.
The truth is, the guy put his grandson's game in his belt to protect it from being stolen. However, the police thought that the man was shoplifting, and therefore, the guy got arrested.
Three cousins left a Walmart, only to be stopped by two strange men. The men tried mugging the cousins, and one of them was shot. Luckily, he survived, and the men were arrested.
It is sad that happened. Hopefully, it never happens again in the future.
At a Best Buy store, a customer who was trying to steal a computer was stopped by a Marine. In a hurry, the customer sliced the Marine in the back. The Marine fortunately survived.
A woman alerted the police in Walmart because she believed a man there had a weapon. The police found he was carrying knives and guns.
The Newcomers
Lol, these Walmart employees are crazy. I hear and see that Walmart attracts the weirdest people. Some are weird, gross, and just downright creepy. My mom has told me about stuff like that. I was going to go to Walmart yesterday, but I heard it was crazy. Anyway, those employees were, or still are, probably on drugs. Who throws laptops at complete strangers? Oh, I know a couple of low-life delinquents who have nothing better to do.
In 2005, employees threw laptops at customers, and they began fighting over them. One customer even attacked a security guard, thinking they were another customer.
In 2006, 10 people were injured in Southern California after being knocked down by a stampede.
