And my hometown.
The local Target opened at some ungodly hour in the middle of the night, and of course all civility, common sense and common decency went down the tubes. The assembled morons rushed the doors and knocked several people down.
One guy managed to crawl free, shook his head and went running on into the store.
Another man stayed down, yelling for help.
And the crowd just stepped over and around him, 'cause God forbid anything get in the way of their quest to get that 52" HDTV or whatever piece of crap they went there for. Not one of them stopped to help. Not. One. Finally the security guys (and there weren't enough of them) got the guy out. He was taken to the hospital, as far as I know his injuries weren't life-threatening. I would post a link to the local TV news video but I found it too disturbing.
It really was disgusting. Just totally appalling. And I'm sure it happened at many other stores across the country.
