Black Friday Turns Deadly at a New York Wal-Mart

Filed under: Icky Icky Poo > Sad Sad

walmart1.jpg

So savage!

Our thoughts go out to the family of Jdimytai Damour, the Wal-Mart employee who was TRAMPLED TO DEATH by early morning shoppers at a New York Wal-Mart.

The New York Times reports that at about 4:55 am on Friday, a crowd of more than 2,000 who had come out for holiday deals forced their way into the Valley Stream, NY store. The six or so workers manning the front could not hold the unruly crowd back. Witnesses said the doors shattered and 'the shrieking mob surged through in a blind rush for holiday bargains. and Jdimytai Damour was 'thrown back onto the black linoleum tiles and trampled in the stampede that streamed over and around him.'

The detective in charge of the investigation said the store lacked adequate security.

He also went on to call the scene “utter chaos” and said the “crowd was out of control" and that those who ran over the victim could face criminal charges.

“I’ve heard other people call this an accident, but it is not. Certainly it was a foreseeable act,” said the detective.

A witness told the media that shoppers behaved badly even as the store was being cleared AFTER the death, “When they were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling, ‘I’ve been on line since yesterday morning. They kept shopping.”

Unbelievable.

How can you not know that you were stepping all over a human?!?

We feel so bad for his family.

Sad, sad, sad.

    "At a Wal-Mart (of course) in Long Island, NY yesterday, 34-year-old Jdimytai Damour, a temporary maintenance worker, tried to help to control the crowd of blood-thirsty zombies that stormed into the store at 5am for holiday discounts on dumb shit like X-boxes and flat-screen TVs. The crowd was so hungry to get their fat, greasy hands on stupid shit that they knocked the man over and kept on going. 200 crazies trampled over the man, killing him. He died at a Wal-Mart in Long Island, the day after Thanksgiving. Even when the man was on the ground and lifeless, shoppers continued to run past him like he wasn't even there. "

    That about sums it up.

    America disgusts me.

    That's terrible

  6. 206

    I have said this before, and i will say it again. Retail and shopping makes me lose faith in humanity. When it comes to material wants and needs, people of today act like savage animals. Selfish, Greedy air wasters. These kinds of sales should be banned because those who do show up early to these kinds of sales are the scum of the scum. Trust me, i know…i've worked in reatil before.



  7. 207

    what a bunch of fucking mindless hogs. everyone is at fault here. walmart for having that lunatic "black friday" sale with little to no security, and the dumb ass customers stampeding through the store like a bunch of starving animals trying to get the last piece of food available. have a merry fucking christmas, walmart customers of long island. hope that non-durable plastic shit you got half off was worth trampling over that man.



  8. 208

    They should all be in jail. Walmart shoppers are the biggest scumfucking shitbags.



  9. 209

    That is some fucked up shit what the hell is wrong with people?



  10. 210

    HUMANS SUCK



  11. 211

    Re: trance2dance – It wasn't in LA. It was in Palm Desert which is a "suburb" of type to Palm Springs. Which is 2 hours from LA. It wasn't because of Black Friday. It was some dispute between 2 women and their men got involved and shot and killed each other. Thank God that no one else was killed. Even as they took the one woman out and put her in the cop car the other bitch was screaming that she was going to kill her. I hope the cops put those 2 women in the same cell and let them beat the shit out of each other. If I had gone shopping on Friday that was the Toys R Us that I would've went to. Thank God I don't do Black Friday anymore. It's not fucking worth it.

    212

    All of the pigs who ran into the store that morning (that fucking shithole of a store) should turn themselves in… they should all rot in hell… for both trampling a man and shopping in the armpit of the universe.



  13. 213

    FUCK ALL N I G G E R S AND FUCK ALL CANADIANS. WE SHOULD RUN ALL THE N I G G E R S AND ALL THE WALMARTS UP TO FUCKING CANADA FUCKING BASTARDS. YOU DON'T SEE THIS SHIT IN NICE WHITEY PARTS OF TOWN, DO YOU? AND NOBODY WILL ADMIT, CAUSE YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF PC PUSSIES.



  14. 214

    I'm sad to say that this store is right by where i live. It's terrible and saddening to see that people would trample on some poor innocent man for 20% on a digital camera or a new CD. My father who has friends in the police department told me that the people in the store, even after the man was trampled on were knocking down the paramedics and police officers that were there trying to help. BLACK FRIDAY IS FRIGGING RIDICULOUS. SHAME ON THEM! I HOPE CHARGES GET PRESSED.



  15. 215

    Truly sickening. I would never shop on Black Friday, because there are similar stories of people acting like animals every year. This can happen at any store, not just Walmart. These stores should discontinue Black Friday sales and "early bird" specials. It is so sad to hear how people will act just to get a great deal. My prayers to Mr. Damour's family.



  16. 216

    i live about 15 mins from where this happened and it sickens me to the core…..you take a life for a fucking blender or elmo toy thats on sale and then after it happens, you won't leave because you waited in line since 12am??!?!?! ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS??! In today's paper, the reaction from his father was heartbreaking and one everyone shares: How could this happen??? Just trying to make sense of this……And whats even sadder was that this was just a temp job, not even his permanent place of employement, so if you think about it, he may have not even been there had it not been for his will to work and be productive….. There was also a shooting at a Toys 'R US in NJ i believe over some stupid shit……I think they should do away with Black Friday

    r.i.p. Jdimytai Damour



  17. 217

    first of all i take offense to the long island trash comment…. i'm from valley stream and all those people were from rosedale, queens…. this incident just proves how out of control this holiday has become



  18. 218

    those vile, disgusting, sad excuses for humans that trampled this man to death and then kept shopping should really be fucking shot. what pathetic, low life sacks of shit.



  19. 219

    first of all, that Wal-Mart is closer to the border of queens than it is to the residential area of valley stream. 90% of those people there on black friday were lowlifes coming in from Queens which doesn't have many Wal-Marts itself. Also, the majority of crimes that happen in Valley Stream are from people coming in from Queens and Rosedale. DO NOT blame the citizens of Valley Stream for this. DO NOT blame the citizens of Long Island for this. Queens is NOT Long Island.

    Also, to the person who said: "I'm not entirely so sad now that NY seems to be the main target for terrorism." …Are you fucking kidding me? Do you not know how fucking ignorant that sounds? One life was taken and yes that is a tragedy, but that means that thousands of others in New York deserve to be taken as well? Grow the fuck up.

  21. 221

    that's too awful for words.



  22. 222

    it says alot about people today doesn't it?

  23. lolli says – reply to this


    223

    GREED IS UGLY. PEOPLE ARE BECOMING MORE HIDEOUS. so fucking sad on so many levels, some of the shoppers complained b/c their shopping was being interrupted by the cops showing up?! who are these ppl? soul less!!! ANIMALS!!!



  24. 224

    I don't go to WallyWorld. One time they stopped me at the door coz I'm young..treating me like a criminal..so FUK THEM.
    People who run to stores on Black Friday are like FUKIN DRUG ADDICTS. They're idiots. You couldn't get me to shop on that day if YOU PAID ME! That's why that dude got trampled, coz only FREAKS SHOP AND TRAMPLE ON THAT DAY. WALMART will never see a DIME OF MY MONEY EVER AGAIN.



  25. 225

    All that were involved should be jailed and fined and the money should be donated to that mans family for funeral costs.This sickens me.I went to a few places for Black Friday and everyone was great.But,I went to the mall amd toys r us.The check out line in toys r us was an hour tho.I feel so bad for that mans family.Where did this happen at,was it a bad area?



  26. 226

    yeah. i actually WENT to that walmart many times (not to buy crap, just to see what it was like.. and it sucks)
    and anyway,
    yeah.
    i feel awful for the family. i heard this on the news while i was staying in Puerto Rico for thanksgiving.

    poor, poor, poor family.



  27. 227

    I NEVER POWT ON HERE BUT THAT IS MY HOMETOWN AND IT AMKES ME FRIGGEN SICK. THE SAD PART IS UNTIL 6 YEARS AGO IT WAS AN GOOD PLACE TO LIE BUT THE WRITING WAS ON THE WALL AS I FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL! TO BE HONEST THE SIGNS WERE ALL THERE THESE PEOPLE ABD IM REALLY NOT RACIST BUT THESE PEOPLE THAT COME FROM ROSEDALE AND QUEENS ARE ANIMALS….ITS OT A SAFE PLACE TO GO ANYDAY OF THE WEEK LET ALONE BLACK FRIDAY.

    ITS BOT EVENLONG ISLAND TRASH THESE PEOPLE THAT FREQUET THAT MALL ARE JUST ABOUT AS CRIMINAL AS YOU CAN GET. I PASSEDBY LATER THAT AFTERNOON ON SUNRISE HIGHWAY PEOPLE COULD CARE LESS, I REALLY WISH THAT MALL WOULD JUST GET SHUTDOWN. WHE I HAVE TO AVSOLUTELY HAVE TO GO THERE IN A PINCH THE MOST COMMON WORD YOUBHEAR IS MMM-HMMM, WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER WE WOULD GO THEREFOR FUN IN A GROUP OF COURSE AND HOLD DOORS JSUT TO SEE HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO GET A THANK YOU-WE IN OUR MID-20'S NOW AND ARE YET TO HEAR THE PHRASE. PEOPLE MIGHT GET UPSET WITH THIS BUT "THE TYPE" SHOULD STAY WHERE THEY BELONG! THEY ARE EVEN TAKING OVER ROOSEVELT FIELD NOW TOO ABD IT'S JUST PLAIN SAD….



  28. 228

    First off: my prayers go out to the Damour family.
    For the non-Americans: no we don't have Boxing Day. We also don't have the Queen's pic on our money.
    This is a really a disturbing & unfortunate event and sadly not that surprising considering the area (I have family that live out there).
    Xmas shopping brings out the worst in people, especially if there's some new hot-item gadget.
    Nobody wants their gift-recipient to be the only one who doesn't get whatever the hot new item is. And they especially don't want to get aced out of it by their neighbour.
    You know how on the airlines there's no congregating in the aisles or waiting for the lavatory?Should be the same for shopping- no waiting outside in mobs.
    Can't really blame the incident on the Walmart corporation since it was an isolated event but maybe there was something about this particular store.
    I try to remember to stay home on Black Friday and that last Saturday before Xmas as these are mob-rule chaotic shopping days.

    America has turned into a 3rd world country.

    Re: MATHATESVS

    SORRY ABOUT THE SP BUT IM SICK TO MY STOMACH AND WENT ON A RANT…..THE SADDEST PART IS THAT ITS A CYCLE BECAUSE ITS THE PARENTS, THEY STRIVE TO BE A STEROTYPE(DONT WORRY THOUGH THE OBAMA CRAZE SERIOUSLY HAS EVEN BROUGHT OUT THE WORST IN THEM!) AND THEY ONLY HAVE THEMSELVES TO BLAME WHEN THOSE TERRIBLE WORDS ARE USED(I WONT SAY THEM, BUT EVERYONE HERE THINKS IT AND THATS EVEN SAD). JUST IMAGINE YOUR TOWN THAT YOU LIVE IN IS ALWAYS BEING INVADED,ITS LIKE WAR OF THE WORLDS BECAUSE THEY NOT ONLY HAVE RUINED THAT MALL BUT 99% OF THE CRIME HERE IS THEM. HELL EVEN AS A CHILD EVERYONE LOST A BIKE,FIND ME ONE PERSON FROM VS THAT HASNT LOST ONE OR KNOWS SOMEONE, THEY STEAL, KILL(YES THE MOVIETHEATER A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO TWICE), ROB HOMES AND JUST MAKE EVERYONE YOU GREW UP WITH MOVE. I REALLY THINK IF IT DIDNT BRING SO MUCH MONEY I THEY'D DEMOLISH THE PLACE 15 YEARS AGO.

    SORRY FOR THE RANT AGAIN BUT ITS TOO CLOSE TO HOME DIDNT HAVE TO HAPPEN AND OF COURSE ITS NOT THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE(WELL THEY'RE STARTING TO MOVE HERE LIKE A PLAGUE). ABOVE ALL RIP TO THE MAN, SO SAD.



  31. 231

    that's ridiculous; PEOPLE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE OUT SHOPPING IN THIS ECONOMIC CRISIS! That is sick and disgusting. Then some people had the nerve to say that they had been waiting in line- even though somebody was KILLED. This truely shows what our society has turned into- and its sick.



  32. 232

    EVEN PEOPLE IN A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY DONT GO RUNNING LIKE MORON FOR DISCOUNTED STUFF. ARE YOU AMERICANS CHEAP MORONS? ITS OBVIOUS SAVING A FEW DOLLARS IS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU THAN THE WELL BEING IF ANYONE NEXT TO YOU.

    I BLEAME GEORGE BUSH. HE MADE ALL OF YOU POOR, NOW YOU ALL ACT LIKE YOUVE NEVER SEEN A GOOD DEAL IN YOUR LIFE. AMERICA MAY AS WELL BE A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY ANYWAYS. SURE AS HELL LOOKS LIKE ONE OUTSIDE OF THE BIG CITIES.



  33. 233

    NO WII'S OR LCD TV.S WERE DAMAGED DURING THIS INCIDENT !

    BOYCOTT WALMART NOW ! LACK OF SECURITY AND POLICE KILLED THAT EMPLOYEE !



  34. 234

    Holy white trash. And after it all, complaining that you culdn't shop because the police had to close off the murder scene. I hope all you get what is karmically coming to you and your 12.99 toaster burns your house down.

    My heart goes out to the family- is anything being done for them?



  35. 235

    God, Perez puts it well, how CAN you not know your STOMPING over a human!



  36. 236

    This just makes me so sick, how people can be so cruel. This was a human life and you can't tell me that these people didn't know this guy was hurt badly. Walmart needs to stop this crap every year of putting out this great buys with only limited supplies.. and worse yet what has really happened to our society….God help them all!



  37. 237

    Walmart's to cheap to have adequete cashiers on any given day let alone security,this doesn't suprise me in the least. We all write our own exit points,hope all the peeps learn from his.

  41. 241

    ABSOLUTLY DISGUSTING! I am ashamed to be a New Yorker right now.What the hell is wrong with these people? I hope they all go to jail!



  42. 242

    it very sad to think what people can do to others to save a few bucks



  43. 243

    Re: LucyLips

    Why boycott walmart? Walmart didn't do this, the ppl did. The public ppl. We have lost our dignity and respect and the whole concept of Christmas.

    I work for walmart, and I can say this year has been one of the wildest black fridays i've ever seen in my entire life. I certainly can say — i don't see the economy suffering this year with what i saw get bought and pushed out the doors in carts.



  44. 244

    I HATE PEOPLE LIKE THAT.
    Items are more important than people? Fuck to whoever says that. I don't wish the people who killed the guy, death.. but definitely a taste of their own medicine.



  45. 245

    IT'S A TESTAMENT TO WALMART CLIENTELLE—FAT, LOWER CLASS TRASH THAT BUY CHEAP CRAP TO PUT IN THEIR CHEAP HOMES–AND GOTTA BUY WORTHLESS SHIT TO PASS OUT TO ALL YOUR FAT, GREEDY RELATIVES…YUK



  46. 246

    On, the other hand, at least it saved this poor guy from a lifetime of working at WalMart for $4.50 an hour–I think I'd take death over a quality of life like that.



  47. 247

    ahw!!!
    did u hear about the preggo woman?!
    she went and she was trampilied too!
    its sad what people will do for material items..



  48. 248

    I 110% agree with Jersey Janice. Sad world we have become.



  49. 249

    Leave it to a bunch of overweight black welfare cheats to kill a store employee in their rush of greed. These human vermin deserve to be jailed along with their disgusting fellow animals. Human filth!



  50. 250

    People are crazy.



  51. 251

    People in this world are becoming very sad nobody cares anymore. It seems is all about yourself or nothing. My mom works in a walmart in Cali and a lady got her leg broke. People its only a few $'s saved and u took someones life for it. SAD!!!!!!!



  52. 252

    This is just so unfuckingbelievable that something so horrible could really happen. What kind of greedy assholes have people turned into. I'm glad I don't celebrate Christmas. How has a religeous holiday turned into just being about buying stuff & so out of control. I've seen it get worse & worse over the years but this is something else completly. They were pissed they had to stop shopping because someone got killed!

    Makes me question if the economy is really that bad if everyone acks like rabid dogs just to get a discounted TV and trample someone in the process.

    It's rediculous…

    Things like this make me lose what little faith I had in the human race.



  55. 255

    This is the world we live in today! Its so unfortunate that this man died. While the assholes that killed him go wrap their cheap gifts and celebrate the holidays, this man's family will be burying him for their's. May he rest in peace!!!



  56. 256

    this is disgusting, people are just horrible. how can shopping be more important than a human life??!



  57. 257

    This story sickens me. Yes they should charge those people that rushed over a human being just to save a buck or two. What a disgrace.



  58. 258

    americans don't feel alive unless they're spending money. so much so that they'll kill to get their fix.

    Omg, I just read all those details. They seriously need to start tazoring people! Sick.



  61. 261

    Those same black friday discounts are always available on the internet…Because people are just so damn nuts they need to make it internet only that would probably save a life

    This is just insane… completely ridiculous and uncalled for. LOSERS need to die, just like he did. I volenteer to step all over their asses until they die too. Morons, complete and utter morons.

    264

    Wal-Mart is NOTORIOUS for treating their workers like crap, and ignoring safety issues (ie, not sending portable staircases to unload trucks until someone gets hurt, like my cousin who now has a permanent knee injury and will limp for the rest of her life). It doesn't surprise me at all that this happened.
    As for people trampling over someone making minimum wage, yeah, that surprises you people? HA! People in other countries kill each over a futbol game, you don't think that people in a capitalistic country like ours, would kill over saving some money? We do that anyway with our outsourced resources!



  65. 265

    I cant believe it! Apalling!



  66. 266

    Re: kelliek – Actually, the town is predominantly black. I would say it's about 85% black. And yes, my word is valid. My boyfriend used to work about 10 minutes away from that mall. He would never step foot in there.



  67. 267

    Being a former resident of Long Island and a current resident of Queens, I can tell you that both areas are full of disgusting people with no regards for anyone. Yes, this mall is about 1000 ft from the Queens/Nassau County border but that isn't saying that people from Queens are inhumane monsters. To be honest, it's right next to Jamaica and Rosedale–which are both predominantly black areas. Black people are more likely to be on welfare and live in section 8 housing. Statistically in those places there are higher areas of crime. I am not trying to be racist, because I am stating the mere fact that instead of breaking away from the typical black american stereotype, the youth is still living off of welfare (when they can just get a fucking job) and living a life of crime because for some reason they feel they aren't worth any more than that. So with that being said, Walmart already caters to middle-lower class people. You want something cheap and made in China–you go to Wal Mart. Pair that with people who live on welfare, you have a recipe for disaster. And sure as hell don't want to hear ANYONE tell me I am fucking racist or wrong or anything. It is Sociology at it's very core meaning. It is the way the world works. And you will find this same bullshit in predominantly white areas, just to let you know. The fact of the matter is that when it all boils down a man lost his life.



  68. 268

    Look at who the people were who stampeded. Doesn't surprise me.



  69. 269

    This is quite disturbing… How can you take a human life over a few extra dollars saved.



  70. 270

    Because most humans are low lifes!! It is sad what people will do for materialistic things. Animals are better behaved then humans and it is a sad sad thing. I always laugh at petas attempt to get humans to care for animals, people don't give two shits about the next human why would they care about an animal? I hope something like this doesn't happen again and I hope all of the people that ran over him and hurt that pregnant lady go to jail!



  71. 271

    Re: LoveBunny – Wow, way to sound ignorant!!!!! Let me guess, you're from Valley Stream or you know someone from there. Either that or you're from Long Island and you're having a field day over there talking shit about Queens. Let me give you a little lesson on the difference between Queens and Long Island. There is none. I am a white female in my twenties raised in Nassau County and now I live in Bayside, Queens. Before that I lived in Whitestone. Both are predominantly white areas. You need to stop making Queens out to be a savage area full of black people because it's not. Hate to bring you the obvious news, but Valley Stream is a shithole. They have Rosedale for a neighbor and that's all I have to say about that. You need to stop making a generalization about Queens as a borough and realize that unfortunately Valley Stream has some RATHER unfortunate neighboring towns. Get off your Long Island high horse, please. It's sickening. Long Island has Hempstead, Freeport and Brentwood, so I don't know what the fuck you're so proud about! Haha.



  72. 272

    There is someone you all need to understand as well. There were OVER TWO THOUSAND people there. I would assume the people in the front didn't even push at all. They were more than likely being pushed by everyone in the back who were pissed off that everyone in the front was going to be in before them. Two thousand people is enough to fill a concert hall, and you really need to see the pictures to get the idea. It showed pictures taken by people who were actually there with camera phones or digital cameras and all you saw was a sea of peoples' heads going on forever. If you've been to a really crazy concert in one of the front rows you can understand how this would feel. Now instead of the barricade being in front of you to separate the crowd from the stage, imagine a door and a man about to unlock it. I am in no way defending ANY actions that these people took to get inside the store, but it wasn't the act of one person it was the influence of thousands of people who had no fucking manners and didn't know how to act civilized. I hope every single person who was there has gone home and contemplated what meaning their life has and how they can all be a better person in this world.

    That is so so sad. Is this really what human kind is coming to? Things are more important than people's lives? His poor family and it could have been averted. That's just….I'm speechless.



  74. 274

    This is so sad and ridiculous. Sometimes I am really embarrassed to be American. I've never participated in the Black Friday madness and it's really pathetic how materialistic and shallow our society has become. Watch What Would Jesus Buy? - it's a great look at that aspect of our society.



  75. 275

    I have worked during every Black Friday for the last 8 years. My first 3 were at Wal-Mart and my last 5 years at Kohl's. I had to work at 3:45 am because Kohl's opened at 4am. On my way to work I always see a huge ass line at Best Buy. There is always mulitple tents set up and people wrapped around the building. This shit is ridiculous…I mean people ram you with their carts, they steal shit out of your cart, and are flat out rude as hell! I mean are these people not brought up with good morals and values and to respect each other! All I can say is anyone reading this that went shopping in this New York Wal-Mart ( you know who you are!) I hope you fucking rot in hell. You know karma sure is a bitch.



  76. 276

    Re: ScarletOHara
    Um scarlet - it wasn't white trash trampling this man. the animals were black! this is not an American issue - as most white americans would never behave like this! this is a black american issue! they are truly one small step above vicious animals - but they are even worse with their never ending sense of entitlement! I am getting so sick of having to put up with their bullshit all of the time!



  77. 277

    Re: jonashoney
    race matters here b/c the mob that killed this man were all black! so if we want to address and try and resolve this problem of vicious-animal like behavior we need to look squarely at the black community! when have you heard of whites doing this?!



  78. 278

    Re: ChachaO

    Its sad is happen. People are ridiculous. It really is. My town isn't far from there.

    But being from Long Island has nothing to do with it.
    I'm sure if it happened it any other town-city-state-country you'd be saying the same thing.



  79. 279

    Well I'm glad that those shoppers were so eager to celebrate the spiret of christmas. Savages they should all be arrested and put on Santa's naughty list
