A truly sad state of our society…

Many news organizations (MSNBC, CNN) are reporting about the death of a Wal-Mart employee who was trampled to death when he opened the doors to waiting customers on Black Friday.  In the rush to get to the 'best bargains', customers broke a door off its hinges and crushed the employee.  As throngs of people came in, they walked over the broken door and trampled the 34 year old employee.  The sickest part is when the store started to close down due to the accident, people actually kept on shopping saying that they waited too long to leave.  Authorities hope to press charges, but have said it will be difficult.

If this is really what the holidays have become, then we are truly down a lost road as a civilized society.  Our prayers go out to the family of the employee.
