HOW MANY HAVE TO GET HURT?

Last Friday there was an employee of Wal-Mart trampled to death in New York by eager shoppers wanting to get to their treasures. Today I read in the paper that at a Menards store in Hammond Indiana a person was trampled as the doors opened for early morning shopping. Again where was crowd control? As I blame Wal-Mart for the death of their employee I also blame Menards for the injury of a shopper entering their store. These stores and others should have people, not one or two but as many as it takes to control the crowds who enter their stores at these reticules hours just to save a few dollars. At the Menards store it is said that people were waiting in line for hours while others sat in the warmth of their cars, and when the doors opened, those in the cars got out and went right to the doors without getting in line. This is where crowd control is needed. I wonder what the statistics are for people getting hurt on BLACK-FRIDAY as they entered stores.
