it is great to be back in the studio back in New York City got back in last
night from massachusetts was away for Thanksgiving
and Black Friday just about what you would expect of course Black Friday
signifies the beginning of the frantic
buying season that usually goes from my
will really from the day after Thanksgiving until Christmas
essentially is the period there and total chaos at Walmart of course
according to Black Friday death count dot com
only one death this year fifteen injuries brings a 27 deaths total
and ninety injuries of course a lot of the injuries are kinda understated
because
if it's not serious enough you might just never hear about it if you kind of
compiling the statistics
let's start with just a little bit %uh the flavor but listen to the sounds and
sights
%uh the Black Friday magic check it out a
draft
the
yeah
okay so there's that then there's this video of a guy at Walmart at first it
looks like he's stealing stuff from other customers
but then later I I guess it turned out he was actually trying to help a kid
that was trapped underneath the crowd of people it's just unbelievable look at
this
the the the
the
and then the guy who filmed that was actually thrown out
for filming here's a video of a stampede to trying to get into a store
people are completely outta control jumping fences breaking down defenses
I just amazing stuff for yeah
do
yeah
go
RA and then some craziness to round things out some craziness at a Texas
Walmart
as an injured guy is helped out at the score
by other shoppers
in
its it's just it's gotten completely absurd Louis I drove by just for kicks I
drove by the local Walmart up in massachusetts where I was spending
Thanksgiving around I think it was maybe like nine
9 p.m. or something like that there were people there were tense there there was
police
there were there were people who work at Walmart employees who clearly are not
trained in crowd control or security
kinda doing crowd control I mean it was just a complete farce
if I were a Walmart employee
and I would refuse to work on a day like this I just wouldn't comment
even at the expense being fired does it make any sense Louis that a quirky
healthcare website like healthcare dot gov
makes you skip health insurance angrily altogether and right to congress
but you'll risk serious injury or even death
to get like a cheap DVD player in surge protector
at a Walmart what does this say about our priorities
I'll clearly air had their way of David it's incredible that it's come to this
end
all for I all for what I mean do
where's the symbolism here how was our presence
important to Christianity know all there they were just incredibly important
because if you can save
four hundred dollars on on an item that you'd never really needed anyway
that's an incredibly great thing to do in Jesus would have loved it in fact
Jesus was one of the first advocates have consume less consumer electronics
purchases on a seasonal schedule
I he was also a big fan of stampeding people getting trampled
