Insanity on Friday

Year after year, on Black Friday, shoppers go all out to get that perfect deal. They sleep outside, sacrifice Thanksgiving dinner with their families, and spend thousands of dollars on unnecessary things that will only last so long.

Shoppers went to the extreme this year, at a Wal-Mart in Los Angeles lady brought pepper spay and sprayed up to twenty people, in New York two women were injured in a fight, and another man was shot in California. Seriously?!? This is insane why would people do this? Hurting other people to get a good deal is unacceptable there is no reason to hurt others. These incidents are horrible, it's amazing what people will do to get a good deal on things.

Has our country stooped so low that we hurt others just to get something on sale. People are forgetting the real meaning of Thanksgiving; to give thanks for our wonderful country, our freedom, and most of all our families that love us very much. Why have we forgotten in the first place? Is it because we put objects before family? I know that my family has never skipped out on Thanksgiving dinner because of Black Friday, we always get together laugh and have a good time all evening. People need to stop obsessing over holiday deals and spend time with family not push through a crowd with strangers.

  1. I agree that people have gone to far with Black Friday. They seem to have lost the meaning of Thanksgiving. As if what they have is not enough for them. They would rather buy something that probably isn't necessary then spend time with family.

  2. I totally agree with you. It is ridiculous how people act on Black Friday. We all should be Thankful for what we do have and not what we want to have. As you said it it the whole point of Thanksgiving.
