If you want to see just how disturbing “Black Friday” is becoming, zip on over to YouTube, and search it. Just search “Black Friday 2011,” and you’ll find plenty of footage from just last night.

For example, here are people almost being crushed last night at a Walmart not far from here, over in Mesquite:

Then, there’s this one from Fresno, CA:

There are plenty more where these came from. And it’s a part of the reason I wrote this, and this.

Thank God that apparently nobody was actually crushed last night. Although a woman in California apparently maced some fellow shoppers, and another man was shot. Read it here.

I can’t read/watch any of this without a sick feeling in my stomach about Jdmytai Damour, and his death…and how little we’ve learned.

Update: a song I’ve here about all this: here.
