Walmart - Porter Ranch, CA - Black Friday Video Game Carnage

This video was taken at the Walmart in Porter Ranch, CA on November 24th, 2011 during the store's Black Friday sales.

What you're seeing is a clip taken of a group of shoppers ripping and tearing at each other and a kiosk to get their hands on discounted Xbox 360 games. During the mayhem, one woman thought she was going to be robbed, so she pulled out her pepper spray and blasted the crowd. From my understanding another girl was shot directly in the face with the spray.

You can see the Security guards escorting the girl in a white shirt away from the area at the end of the video.

All this for a few video games....

This video was shot by Melissa Sampson.

UPDATE: I was contacted by KTLA 5 to do an interview about the incident. I posted a video about it in the comment section. Please watch.

This is precisely why when I have my choice, I stay home this one day every year. It's not worth seeing the display to save a couple bucks, and this is a tame event. There have been tramplings.

People are sheeple.

People are as inanimate in their souls as the stuff they are killing each other to get.

They did not put a gun to peoples head.

They called , you came, THATS their power.

What makes these folks better and more deserving than the greedy corrupt bankers, wall street crooks and dirty, coward politicians?

Why should anyone sacrifice , do without and give their lives to THESE type sheeple?
