2008 Wal Mart employee trampled to death by 2,000 people who stormed Wal Mart to go shopping.   The people who tried to help him became victims to the swarming mob also.  Guess this answers my previous question about are there any normal people left in New York?……  Apparently NOT !

New York – A Wal-Mart worker died early Friday after an “out-of-control” mob of frenzied shoppers  smashed through the Long  Island store’s front doors and trampled him, police said.
The Black Friday stampede plunged the Valley  Stream outlet into chaos, knocking several employees to the ground and  sending others scurrying atop vending machines to avoid the horde.

When the madness ended, 34-year-old Jdimytai Damour was dead and four  shoppers, including a woman eight months pregnant, were injured.

“He was bum-rushed by 200 people,” said Wal-Mart worker Jimmy Overby, 43.
“They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front of  me.
“They took me down, too … I didn’t know if I was going to live through it.  I literally had to fight people off my back,” Overby said.

“They pushed him down and walked all over him,” Damour’s sobbing sister,  Danielle, 41, said. “How could these people do that?
