A Hazy Shade of Winter

So here we go again. The turkey leftovers are stewing in the soup pot. The registers are ringing like the bells on Santa's sleigh, and the Salvation Army has embarked on their annual war on poverty. The x-mas merchandising machine has to come to life once again.

You look at everything going on in the world. The attacks in Mumbai, the world economy burning like a raging California wild fire, pirates stealing oil tankers. It just seems crazy. But do you know what seems really crazy? How about a group of Christmas shoppers fueled with visions of grandeur (of saving two bucks on a piece of crap Taiwanese Cuckoo clock) trampling a young man to his death just to ENSURE they could get their hands on the &^%$ing Tickle Me Elmo first?

How appropriate that they call it Black Friday. This ACTUALLY happened. We are talking about a Long Island New York Wal-Mart. We are not talking about some Wal-Mart in a slack jawed Alabama town. We are talking about LONG ISLAND!!

I have said it before, and I will say it again. We can't comment on what goes on in the world, the genocides, the tortures, the cleansing of nations, until we can bring in the reins of our own society. There is a 34 year old man dead today. Why is he dead? Because some psychopaths decided that they had to wait outside of a Wal-Mart starting at 9 o'clock at night for a 5 in the morning opening. This is a &%$*ing Wal-Mart, a god damn &%$*ing Wal-Mart!!

The young man went to unlock the doors at 5. The crowd, a crowd that was already being "controlled" by the police surged forward crashing through the doors. The man didn't stand a chance, falling back and screaming for his life. His fellow workers were yelling at the top of their lungs for people to get back. Even the police were pushed aside. The man was trampled repeatedly. People were "cognizant" that they were stepping on a fellow human being, but they had to, HAD TO, get to the "deals". It wasn't that they finally got the crowd under control, quite the opposite, they had to wait until everyone was in before they could find his body lifeless on the floor. There were already people demanding service at the registers, people that went into further rage after being told the store wouldn't be doing business. Employees with tears streaming down their faces tried to explain the situation, but to these SAVAGES, that wasn't acceptable. SHAME ON YOU PEOPLE!!! SHAME ON YOU!!!

You have to keep in mind that Wal-Mart has hundreds of every item they sell. It's a month to Christmas for the love of God. What would happen if these people actually shopped at a place like Neiman-Marcus, or Nordstroms? Places that literally only have a few of each item, items that are quality made. Items that aren't made by children in the sweatshops of Asia.

I just hope that everyone of those %$#&ers look at the joy on their childs face Christmas morning as they unwrap their blood covered gift, I hope they pause and reflect on the mother, father, siblings, wife, children, and grandparents of the man they killed to get it. I hope they feel a pain for every tear they will shed. And I hope they get to say hi to the RCMP, YVR, and border services employees responsible for Robert Dziekanski's death as they all burn together in Hell.

Merry Christmas you %$#&ing bastards!!
