Black Friday Craziness


Click here for bigger picture

"Black Friday" is the day after Thanksgiving, named that because it is the first day of retailers getting out of the red and into the black on the biggest shopping day of the year. Yesterday, as you can see in the picture, a fellow shopper reached down to help Josephine Hoffman, 73, as the crowd behind her pushed through and rushed past security guards, at Brandsmart at the Sawgrass Mills Mall in Florida.

"I was trying to get out of the way, but they knocked me down," the senior citizen said. "I hit my head on the floor, and people stepped on me. I don't understand why people do these things."

While the crowd was waiting for the stores to open one woman responded angrily, "We have your money out here. We need to go to other stores. I can't stand here all day."
A man shouted through the gate that he had been waiting for an hour and half.

This kind of behavior definately gets an 'F' in the character department!
