Customers hit by pepper spray at Wal-Mart describe scene of chaos

Matthew Lopez went to the Wal-Mart in Porter Ranch on Thursday night for the Black Friday sale but instead was caught in a pepper-spray attack by a woman who authorities said was "competitive shopping."

LMFAO my cuzn lives in San Fernando and he told me about this .Guess Black Friday does bring the worst out in people :D.

You know i would expect to see this kind of behavior from starving people in third world countries fighting over powder milk and rice dropped from a plane.

But for people fighting over low end discounted electronics is really just......PURE FRIGGIN ENTERTAINMENT!

I'm gonna start a reality show and call it.....The Savagery of Black Friday!

unfortunately some really nice people were hurt while buying gifts for the little ones but the calamity at Wal-Mart every year is so friggin funny to watch.

People need to stop going to this crap every year cause more and more violent actions are occurring every year.

already 2 deaths, several shootouts, Pepper spraying, stabbings, Fist fights, hundreds of parking lot robberies and car thefts......all for what a friggin TV you can order anytime off the Internet.

SAVAGES!!

Hmm...sounds like a fun idea for a game. Protect your LCD from waves of crazy shoppers at walmart. ;-)

[Horny]

Even though I did my shopping online I went to wal mart just to see the crazies.

[SpaceFox]

Yeah a friend of mine was there and the woman was also pepper spraying children in the face. Crazy.

[Ares90]

This is capitalism
Individuals no longer see other as a person but as competitor

[ATi_Elite]

yeh and Corporations are considered "People".

kinda sad.

[MultiConsoleGamer]

I have been to this walmart several times. Let me tell you all something, its a terrible place. Of all the Walmart stores I have visited in the past this one is clearly the worst. The employees are downright hostile, and even the customers are rude and pushy. There's just something really negative about the place.

When I heard the news about this incident I wasn't surprised at all. Porter Ranch walmart is a sh**hole.

[FlashXIII]

Only in America... completely insane. Still people can count themselves lucky if pepper spray was the worst thing to report.

[SilentNegotiator]

Yes, ridiculous riots and violence never happen outside the United States.....

/s

[FlashXIII]

Riots over shop sales? That is ridiculous.

[SilentNegotiator]

So some senseless acts of violence are more sensible than others?

Is robbery more sensible than violence over saving money, perhaps? Because robberies are worldwide, the last I checked.

[Killzone3Helghast]

I agree with you. Obviously all these disagrees are from Americans.

Stay classy

I will invest in a Gas mask for next year's Black Friday at Walmart.

[BlmThug]

God lower, lower class people are just the worst. This class consists of Rednecks, southern people and chavs

[Noticeably_FAT]

Well you gotta love the news, anything to make gaming look worse. Out of the millions of stores and Black Friday sales, there were a handful of incidents. Not too bad if you ask me.

It is reasons like this however that when I camped out for a Wii when it launched, I escorted an elderly couple to their car to make sure nobody tried to steal their console. Who's going to mess with a 6'5" 300 pound man? exactly.

[FunAndGun]

a man with a gun?

[Noticeably_FAT]

Hasn't happened yet, but I would expect people that actually carry and would possibly use a gun to be a coward at heart.

Cowards never scare me.

[vikingland1]

I wish someone would have tazed her you know ( not really ) but this type of behavior sickens me.

[xtremexx]

next year, im going to get a chair and just watch the madness

[NarooN]

My friends and I went to Wal-Mart's black friday deal a few days ago. It was a little crazy, but NOTHING like last year. Last year, you couldn't even friggin' walk anywhere. It was just packed with people.

[BABY-JEDI]

Some people really must get a grip of themselves...

[taijutsu363]

If ya'll wanna see true crazies go to New York! Whooooo! ITS CRAZY!

[SKUD]

Black Friday sales are all hype. There's no special low discount percentage allowed by companies / manufactures. It's no different then any other sales during the year. PEOPLE LOVE HYPE.

[Ocean]

"Competitive Shopping" lol now i've heard it all

Wonder if this will turn up as an Olympic Dicipline in the future
