PJ Media

Nice article from a moral reappraisal point of view, but the headline sentiment is DRIVEL. None of the shoppers were intending harm to anyone; its a crowd situation and frenzy created by commercial manipulation led to a tragedy. The people in the crowd were not managed by the store that advertised to bring them, the media helped create expectations to add excitement to the story. No culpable intentions or reckless disregard. This tragedy results not from the shoppers heedlessness of the person trampled, but from the media and the stores that created the crowd situation and did not see this risk and prevent the harm.
