Several news agencies are reporting that a stock clerk in New Jersey lost his life as shoppers knocked him down and trampeled him to death today. Apparently, few of the shoppers cared enough to even stop and observe the goings on.
It would appear that the only thing that got their attention was when store management shut the store down.
A pregnant lady was also knocked down and injured. One source is reporting that the paramedics were overheard telling her that she lost the baby.
I’ve often espoused the opinion that the hassle isn’t worth the deals. I am quite confident that the deals aren’t worth being a part of a mob that values those deals over life.

I was born on a flat rock just outside the gates of hell.
I now believe the rock has grown and all of humanity lives on it.
May God have mercy on our wretched souls.
