Black Friday Shopping Mob Tramples Wal-Mart Employee to Death

This Black Friday was an especially dark day, leaving four customers wounded and one Wal-Mart employee dead. A crowd of over 2,000 shoppers were waiting outside a Wal-Mart store in Long Island, New York. When doors opened, the mob rushed into the building, tearing the doors off their hinges and sending employees scampering on top of vending machines to avoid the onslaught.

Jdimytai Damour, a 34 year old Wal-Mart employee, couldn't get out of the way fast enough. He was trampled to death by the mob of customers. Police and rescue workers tried unsuccessfully to revive him. Rather than stopping to help, crazed shoppers continued to step on the rescuers. Four other people were injured, including a woman who was 8 months pregnant.

Police announced that someone had died and the store would be closing, but shoppers simply did not care. One witness said, "When they were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling, 'I've been in line since Friday morning!'". After a great deal of effort, police finally managed to drive out the remaining shoppers. They were unable to identify any of the perpetrators on security cameras because of the general chaos at the scene.

At 1PM, the store re-opened and was almost immediately swamped with customers again. One of the Wal-Mart employees said, "I look at these people's faces and I keep thinking one of them could have stepped on him. How could you take a man's life to save $20 on a TV?".

This gruesome and horrific scene is a real testament of what some people are capable of. It disgusts me that people could be so greedy and self-absorbed that they would act like wild animals just to get better deals on stuff for themselves and their friends. Stories like this really show just how horrible human beings can really be.

Woman Spends 400,000 Dollars to Internet Scam

Janella Spears of Sweet Home Oregon lost over $400,000 to email scams. If you have an email account without a spam filter, you have probably received a Nigerian scam at some point. This scam was named after the country from which most of these email scams originated from. The scammers will contact you by email saying they are related to you somehow and need your help to get access to millions of dollars that they have inherited. They offer to give you a few million just for sending them some money or sharing your bank account information.

I never thought anyone would actually fall for that, but it seems I was wrong. Janella sent $100 in an untraceable wire transfer to the scammers. When this worked, they asked for more money. They sent her fake bank statements, letters, and documents to reinforce their claims. They also approached her as the head of the FBI and claimed the President needed her help as well. She reportedly became obsessed with getting the 20 million dollars they promised her, and kept sending more money in hopes of getting it.

She took out a loan, home mortgage, and spend her husband's retirement fund. When asked about it, she said she hopes other people don't fall for these scams as hard as she did.

So next time you get an email from a ridiculously wealthy Nigerian or the President of the United States, do yourself a favor and just delete it.

Obama Wins The 2008 Election

Barack Hussein Obama is now the 44th President of the United States. The 2008 election is FINALLY over. I'm more relieved about that than anything else at this point. This was one of the nastiest campaigns I have ever seen on both sides. Huge amounts of mudslinging, racism, feminism/anti-feminism, and overall manipulation were all over the media. Supporters of the candidates have been found faking voter registration, stealing campaign signs from yards, and attempting to scare away voters at the polls.

I have never seen so many people get upset over an election. I have never seen friends turn so savagely and viciously against friends on opposing parties. I have never seen so much manipulation and lies as the backbone of a campaign. But the election is now over. God help America. Regardless what party you support, all can agree that our great nation has suffered and slipped down to a new low. This could well mark the beginning of the descent of America from the great nation it is today to a fond memory of past glory. Now all we can do is adapt to the great change that has been promised, and pray it will be a good change.

Woman Wearing Cow Suit Arrested for Disorderly Conduct

Michelle Allen of Middletown, Ohio, was arrested for disorderly conduct while wearing a cow suit. She was said to have been chasing children in her neighborhood while wearing the cow suit, and caused a great deal of civil distress. She was also caught urinating on a neighbor's front porch. When an officer found her causing traffic problems, she was arrested. She was reportedly verbally abusive to the police, and smelled strongly of alcohol.

Obviously her clever cow disguise failed when she began cussing out the police. A real cow would never do that.

9 Year Old Designated Driver

On Thursday, a 9 year old child was pulled over for driving a car underage. The mother, from Ontario, had too much to drink at a social gathering and did not feel sober enough to drive herself and her child home. So she asked her nine year old daughter to drive instead. Police noticed a car driving very slowly along Canadian country roads, and on closer inspection, saw that the driver was quite tiny. When they pulled her over, they found the child driving.

Obviously the mother must have been pretty far gone to let her kid drive. She must have been really wasted to think the kid would do a better job than she would. I'm always a supporter of the designated driver program, but this is a bit over the top.
