There is a lot of blame to go around to all of those who hype black Friday. The main stream media for reporting a non-news event encouraging people to assemble at the stores door before the light of day, the stores for having sales to kill for the first day of shopping, and finally lack of crown control by the police. Once the people at the back of the crown began to push then the people at the front had no option but to go forward. No longer human beings but herd animals in panic over their own safety. Why theses stores are allowed to have crowds who number in the hundreds at their door at four o’clock without supervision is mind boggling to me? It’s like having an Orange parade through the Catholic parts of Belfast without adult supervision or sending a bunch of queers to a motorcycle gangs bar.
