Take this, I'm getting that PS3!

Another reason why I go nowhere near a store on Black Friday.
Woman pepper sprays other Black Friday shoppers

(AP)  LOS ANGELES — A woman shot pepper spray to keep shoppers from merchandise she wanted during a Black Friday sale, and 20 people suffered minor injuries, authorities said.


The incident occurred shortly after 10:20 p.m. Thursday in a crowded Los Angeles-area Walmart as shoppers hungry for deals were let inside the store...


..."Somehow she was trying to use it to gain an upper hand," police Lt. Abel Parga told The Associated Press early Friday.


He said she was apparently after some electronics and used the pepper spray to keep other shoppers at bay...

Hopefully we can find the woman and get her charged with assault. Then again we're talking Los Angles...the DA there will probably prosecute the Wal-Mart for causing the near riot by opening to sell merchandise.

So personally, I will do my shopping the traditional way...Amazon.com!

Happy Black Friday!

UPDATE:

Caught on tape: Riot over $2 waffle maker in Walmart - WBTV 3 News, Weather, Sports, and Traffic for Charlotte, NC-


CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - Amid all of the ruckus on Black Friday one video that has caught the attention of the nation is one uploaded to Twitter.

The video shows dozens of people in a Walmart near Little Rock, Arkansas, fighting over a limited supply of the small kitchen appliance.

The $2 version of the waffle maker is a machine that only produces two waffles at a time. Walmart has another 4-waffle version with a much higher price per waffle....
Thanks...I'll pay full price for a waffle maker...
