It happens every single year... somewhere on this planet .... USUALLY at a Wal-Mart. But it has to finally stop. There is absolutely no reason for another human being to be trampled to death by other shoppers who rush to be the first ones through the door on the year's biggest shopping days. Seriously, think about it for a second. Are we living in a Looney Tunes cartoon? Should "cause of death: crushed by herd of idiots" be something that has to be told to a family when they lose a loved one? Absolutely ridiculous. And I am in no way making light of a serious situation. This is not a joke. Maybe you lost someone dear to you in the infamous "Macy's People Stampede of 2006" or perhaps during the "Radioshack Idiot Round-Up of 2005".
Parents, listen to me. Your spoiled little kid doesn't have to have the new Fondle-Me Grover doll so bad that it's worth the loss of life. Calm down. Take a breath. Teach your child the values of patience. They can't wait. Or better yet ... plan ahead of time ... order your gifts online instead of congregating in a Target parking lot at 4am... sipping coffee... and comparing your level of pathetic with the other parents.
PEOPLE ARE DYING.
No more holiday stampedes!!!
I'm sick and tired of it.
Blessings & Wishes To You and Yours This Holiday Season,
Jonesy
