Our Stampede Mentality

Black Friday deserves a mark like this.

Or, it deserves a reputation fit for the occasion.

“Day retailers get in the black.” That’s how it’s described in Business 101 terms.

“Day shoppers lose their minds” is how Intro to Crowd Psychology might define it.

Minds are lost. Feet and elbows overcome all other bodily functions. Two-thousand people stream through the mangled doors of the Valley Stream, N.Y., Wal-Mart. An employee is trampled to death.

Police say they’ll investigate and press charges. That will be some lineup.
