Hello Dan!

You could have read the story.. :)

Then when they went to shut the store down, shoppers got irate when they were
told to leave... "Excuse me maam, we had a employee killed and we must close
the store, I am sorry you are gonna have to leave" "Hell No I been waiting in
line here since thursday night"..

A testament to different behavior. Criminal.... Who goes to a post office with
a gun?

The Walmart incident is a case of a crowd succumbing to an animalistic herd
mentality..

I am sure stampede scenarios played out across the country on friday...

Go to youtube and search on black friday, you can see plenty of herd stampedes
from years past. This isnt limited to black friday either only prevelant, when
the various latest gaming consoles were released, we saw this in front of your
Walmarts, Circuit City's and Best Buys.

One youtube video shows a young man shoved into a pole in front of a Walmart
when the crowd made a mad dash to form a line to receive claim tickets for the
few consoles the store had.

It is clear to me that you aint going to change the American Shopper in this
respect, they are animals.

Either eliminate these events or develop turnstiles that admit one person at a
time with 10 second delay between customers. Said devices full body height.
