Thank you to Jdimytai Damour

From Fox News web site:

Damour was asphyxiated last Friday while trying to shield a pregnant shopper from the throngs of bargain hunters pushing their way into the Valley Stream, N.Y., store.

His name may not be one that rolls of the tongue. He was the worker that was killed in the Wal-Mart stampede in New York.  At least I now know that his death was not in vain.  He was trying to protect a pregnant woman from the stampede.  A stampede that did not need to happen in the first place.

Nassau police said Wednesday that the conflict among shoppers who remained in their cars and those who waited in the cold weather fostered a "mob mentality" that led to the death last week of 34-year-old Jdimytai Damour, according to the paper.

So, some stayed in cars and wanted to cut in line in front of those who stayed outdoors.  Who is right, who is wrong?  I do not  know.  I do know that people acted like animals.  It appears that evolution is wrong. We revert it seems, rather than evolve.

John 8:12“[The Validity of Jesus' Testimony] When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Will the madness never end....  Sue your fellow bargin hunters, they are the ones that hurt you.  Or how about suing yourself for being so stupid that you are in a crowd of people that kill a man to get a bargain?

Comming soon to a Wal-Mart near you

$200 Ubuntu Linux PC Now Available at Wal-Mart | Gadget Lab from Wired.com:
"'It's almost like a Google PC,' Liu says, pointing to the desktop's rack of pre-configured links to all of Google's online applications. It is, he says, the mass-market Linux PC we've all been waiting for. 'That's our dream. ... we go the final step to make it work out the box, to go the whole nine yards.'"


If I had the extra bucks I would like to buy one. It would be for the kids, right...... sure it would..... well maybe........
