Wal-Mart Black Friday Sales: People Fight over Televisions and Shoppers Tweet About the Mess (VIDEO)
Wal-mart Black Friday Sales means it is almost free? Well on Thursday, a video was uploaded on YouTube that shows a mob going all bonkers over flat-screen televisions. It looked as if Wal-mart is giving the flat-screen TV sets for free.
Close to 50 people were crowded near the televisions. Several people started shoving and pushing each other, and it was total chaos. In one of the scenes, a man threw another to the ground for a TV set. "Oh my God!" screamed a woman.
Police officers stationed at the Wal-Mart store didn't intervene as the mob continued to fight over TV sets. Finally, a Wal-mart employee came forward to stop the fight.
The user who uploaded the video on YouTube claimed that he was thrown out of Wal-Mart for the recording the incident.
The location of the Wal-Mart is unknown.
