Walmart on Black Friday 2009, originally uploaded by laurieofindy.

My Dad’s account of this year’s “BlackFriday” shopping experience at Walmart.

“At 11 PM R, M and a few of R’s family went over to Walmart to join crowd for some super discounts and get an early start on Black Friday. Since Walmart is open 24 hrs. people line up at the items and 15 minutes before midnight. They cut the black plastic that was covering the sale items and all bedlem broke loose. For the most part R got what he came for without incident. But not far from us, the electronic game section people started to fight and all hell broke lose. We were out of the store 15 minutes after midnight and back home. Wh saw the police with a women in the squad car as we were leaving the store.”
