Article below: How addiction for consumption of goods killed a man who was knocked down by people desperate to enter Walmart for the Thanksgiving bargain deals..... What they said next? We are mad because We waited all night for the store to open.... This is the dark side of a consumer society addicted to what matters to them.. Such behavior is not uncommon in societies that are driven by some imaginary force, whether it is money or faith or power. Many people died in the Islamic holy city Mecca when they got run over people stumbling over one another as they moved as a mass around the Islamic Holy Shrine. Similarly, many people across the world were killed after they were knocked down by scared masses from some hoax or even real terrorist threat. Do you call this murder or an accident or a desperate run for survival? Call it what you want, but in all cases, many innocent people across the world die by other people "accidentally" knocking them down.....

Any way this is today's article on the Thanksgiving event..
