As I suggested, authorities are planning to charge those responsible.

“NEW YORK (AP) – Police were reviewing video from surveillance cameras in an attempt to identify who trampled to death a Wal-Mart worker after a crowd of post-Thanksgiving shoppers burst through the doors at a suburban store and knocked him down.

Criminal charges were possible, but identifying individual shoppers in Friday’s video may prove difficult, said Detective Lt. Michael Fleming, a Nassau County police spokesman.

Other workers were trampled as they tried to rescue the man, and customers stepped over him and became irate when officials said the store was closing because of the death, police and witnesses said.

At least four other people, including a woman who was eight months pregnant, were taken to hospitals for observation or minor injuries. The store in Valley Stream on Long Island closed for several hours before reopening.

Police said about 2,000 people were gathered outside the Wal-Mart doors before its 5 a.m. opening at a mall about 20 miles east of Manhattan. The impatient crowd knocked the employee, identified by police as Jdimytai Damour, to the ground as he opened the doors, leaving a metal portion of the frame crumpled like an accordion.

“This crowd was out of control,” Fleming said. He described the scene as “utter chaos,” and said the store didn’t have enough security.

Dozens of store employees trying to fight their way out to help Damour were also getting trampled by the crowd, Fleming said. Shoppers stepped over the man on the ground and streamed into the store.

Damour, 34, of Queens, was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead around 6 a.m., police said. The exact cause of death has not been determined.

A 28-year-old pregnant woman was taken to a hospital, where she and the baby were reported to be OK, said police Sgt. Anthony Repalone.

Kimberly Cribbs, who witnessed the stampede, said shoppers were acting like “savages.

“When they were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling ‘I’ve been on line since yesterday morning,’” she said. “They kept shopping.”

Let’s hope they are able to make positive ID and charge each individual with manslaughter at the least, preferably second degree murder. Additionally the state attorney should look at charging the store management as well as Walmart itself for negligence. As I said it is done in other countries around the world and it works. We should do so here as well. Additionally the manager of this store is as responsible for what happened just as those who actually did the killing. At the very least he should be fired.

Very telling is the fact that Walmart doesn’t even have a press release on their homepage showing just how much they really care about this incident. Gross negligence and incompetance all around.

It’s time for this nonsense to stop. Animals like this need to be caught and made to held to account. Imagine the lack of moral restraint and utter coldness to equate your so-called right to a on sale Xbox to the life of a human being.

Miserable bastards.
