Wal-Mart Deaths Avoidable
Posted by: Peter Davis on: December 1, 2008
Jdimytai Damour, 34 was crushed to death early Friday morning by a stampede of Walmart shoppers. According to the Local 1500, the Wal-Mart death was avoidable:
“This incident was avoidable,” said Bruce Both, president of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 1500, the state of New York’s largest grocery worker’s union.
“This is not just tragic; it rises to a level of blatant irresponsibility by Wal-Mart,” he said.

Let me start by saying that this is one of the most despicable things I have ever heard of. Some people want to put the blame at Walmart’s feet and I do agree that they do hold some cupability in this horrendous issue.
However, most of the blame squarely rests on those who were really responsible, the shoppers. I hope that they will remember this and live with this in their minds for the rest of their lives. They killed a poor security man doing his job for a few dollars off a product they will likely throw away in several years.
