What in the heck could be so wondrous in a Wal-Mart store (or any other store for that matter) to make everyone stampede in like that anyway? What- a marked down DVD player? Some bedding? Assorted on-sale kitchenware? Come on, it's STUFF. I don't care if they're giving it away, no excuse... I think this could have happened at any store, during that bizarre ritual, and actually surprising there weren't MORE injuries considering the fervor with which people rush out to the big boxes. It's just so sad on so many levels, especially (obviously) for that poor employee's family and friends.
