A Wal-Mart worker died early Friday after an "out-of-control" mob of frenzied shoppers smashed through the Long Island store's front doors and trampled him, police said.
The Black Friday stampede plunged the Valley Stream outlet into chaos, knocking several employees to the ground and sending others scurrying atop vending machines to avoid the horde.
When the madness ended, 34-year-old Jdimytai Damour was dead and four shoppers, including a woman eight months pregnant, were injured.

DeleteHi Brock,
ReplyDeleteWOW!! 'May have happened a bunch of years ago but still!!,,,,,being a "Wally World People Greeter" is a Dangerous Job!!!!!......I know,I AM ONE!!!! 'Got a Case of beer, I can tell ya' some stories!!! Probably the worst is the lady People Greeter at the Denham Springs, La. store that asked a departing customer to check his receipt and he wacked her up-side her head with this heavy wooden cane he had and when she fell down he beat her profusely about the head with it until he was subdued. She died at the hospital from her injury's!! The pictures you see on the net and faceplant of the "Walmartians!!" is nothing!! Although in my old Viet nam Daze I was a Swabbie on a Bird Farm off the coast, I have a good idea of what it would be like to walk "Point" on a Search and Destroy Fire Team in the Bush......."without a Weapon!!!!!" Get my drift??.........Why do ya' think I close with...............
