Black Friday...Dangerous to your Health!

 Black Friday...that day after Thanksgiving where people do ridiculous things to save a few bucks on Christmas gifts.

Is it worth it? Fighting crazy crowds, standing in long checkout lines, getting ups at some ridiculous hour to head out the door, not being able to find a parking space. And when you get there finding the item you were targeting has been gobbled up..gone, sold out...is it worth it?

Many, Many people think so. To some it's a religion.They enjoy shopping at a time not the norm, being part of an event. But lately, the fun of Black Friday has given way to  BlackEYE Friday! You're
Black Friday Mayhem
not safe out there.
Along with the purse snatchers, pick pockets, car thieves, thugs who will accost you in parking lots or break into your car to steal the toys you just bought for your kids.......you have to worry just as much about your fellow shoppers...yep...they are just as dangerous! Something happens to people on Black Friday. It's the Jekyll and Hyde Syndrome. Take a look at the headlines from the Drudge Report on Black Friday, 2013:


 Mall mayhem...
Suspected shoplifter shot after dragging cop through KOHL's parking lot...
Brawls...
Woman uses stun gun in shopping fight...
Man stabbed over parking spot...
Shopper Kicked Out Of WALMART For Filming Fight...
Man shot walking home with big screen...
Shoppers Trampled In Race For $49 Tablet...
SALVATION ARMY kettles stolen...
REPORT: Profit margins jump for sales 'hoax'...


 Yikes!!! Nope...it's not worth it. As I did this year, I'll do next year.....STAY HOME!
