„it was inevitable that something like this was bound to happen...a mob of shoppers rushing to buy DVD players on sale at a Walmart in Orange City, Florida trampled the first woman in line and knocked her unconscious as they scrambled for the shelves...the woman's sister said "She got pushed down, and they walked over her like a herd of elephants"...paramedics called to the store found the woman unconscious laying on top of a DVD player, surrounded by shoppers seemingly oblivious to her.“

„Symbolic of the problem of rampant consumerism at Wal-Mart is an incident in a Florida branch of their store. A woman was crushed and knocked unconcious in a consumer rush to buy DVD machines at $29 each.

„So, a women at a Walmart gets knocked over and is trampled as she has a seizure on the ground... so much for being thoughtful, rational, and compassionate. How could this be any more sick?“http://wherewearebound.typepad.com/where_were_bound/2003/.../ screw_you_ive_g.html - Cached - Similar Pages
