Clean-Up On Aisle 2

Posted by: admin

 

The term “Black Friday” took on an entirely more sinister meaning to friends and relatives of Jdimytai Damour, a Wal-Mart employee who was trampled to death early Friday morning. 

 

As the 34-year-old unlocked the doors of the New York Wal-mart, signaling the opening of the store, a surge of impatient douchebag shoppers flooded the entrance, knocking Damour to the ground:

 

Police said about 2,000 people were gathered outside the Wal-Mart doors before its 5 a.m. opening at a mall about 20 miles east of Manhattan. The impatient crowd knocked the employee, identified by police as Jdimytai Damour, to the ground as he opened the doors, leaving a metal portion of the frame crumpled like an accordion.

“This crowd was out of control,” Fleming said. He described the scene as “utter chaos,” and said the store didn’t have enough security.

Dozens of store employees trying to fight their way out to help Damour were also getting trampled by the crowd, Fleming said. Shoppers stepped over the man on the ground and streamed into the store.

Damour, 34, of Queens, was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead around 6 a.m., police said. The exact cause of death has not been determined.

As if this weren’t enough, store officials were met with anger and resistance as they announced that the store would be closed resulting from the death:

 

Kimberly Cribbs, who witnessed the stampede, said shoppers were acting like “savages.”

“When they were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling ‘I’ve been on line since yesterday morning,’” she said. “They kept shopping.”

Authorities are now perusing security tapes in hopes of identifying those shoppers involved in the death. While the identification process may prove to be harder than anticipated, police believe that criminal charges may be filed. In this season of giving, lets hope that these ingrate douchebag shoppers are given the harsh sentences they deserve.
