It's a sale that goes on the Friday after thanksgiving where things are like dirt cheep so the stores can get a huge influx of buyers then the people that come in later just to shop have to wait in long lines while those earlier people are still fighting over stuff and checking out and stores hope this standing around will increase the amount of impulse buying. Unfortuneately it does.
My mom and aunt go every year, though we live in Iowa so no worries about them being charged. I doubt anyone will be, any body they see up front can simply claim they were being pushed from behind. It's the mob mentality, your free from any individualized punishment because of the obscurity, and no mass punishment will be issued, not when the jury thinks that there's at least one innocent person in there.

So it's like a pre-Christmas sale?
What a worthy reason for people to die for.

Personally, I don't go anywhere on Black Friday. Especially if I don't need the items in the first place.
As for the person who died, bummer. If only it were possible to arrest every jerk who walked by.

I only go to the stores still open on the second day, so I can go get what I want without fear of death (wow i used to use that figurativly). Usually the stuff I'm after doesn't get sold out.

I'm giving the same gift I give every year: my continued support, friendship and knowledge.
In other words, I don't have any money.

It'll be on the lawn, just not the one outside.
