I looked at the inserts, I saw the deals. I didn't think that they were worth breaking a door and inadvertently killing someone. 798 for a 50" plasma is cheap, but with circuit city going out of business, I'd imagine there will be deals equal or rivaling that.
"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."
Hands down, I don't like mobs and rallies. They never succeed in enlightening the ideals they support. Sure, there can be a speech associated with it, but that speech is usually preplanned and could have been given on the radio or in a controlled setting.
If I was thirty years older, I would (hopefully) make an exception for Woodstock, though I can see I'd be fighting with myself.

But apparently the shoppers at this ill-fated Walmart had just headed Bush's words exceptionally well: in case of emergency, just keep shopping.
heeded, not headed
