I read an article from cnn.com titled Customers injured in crush suing Wal-Mart by Kristen Hamill. The article was about the rush of post Thanksgiving bargains that left one employee dead and others injured. The Wal-Mart worker Jdimytai Damour, 34, was crushed by customers when opening the doors at 5am. He died of asphyxiation after being trampled. Also, Fritz (51) and Jonatan(19) Mesadieu are suffering pain in their neck and back from the rush of people with a sum of $2 million. The police department realized there were many ways this could have been avoided, with more security, police and barriers. The officers were said to have been back and forth to check on the crowd but had noticed no disturbance. But there was obviously more assistance needed. I think that this situation should have been handled better and that people shouldnt have been so careless. I hope these problems will be solved in the future.
