Two men are suing Wal-mart for injuries that were caused on black friday by the mad rush of people. Not only were many injured, including these two guys, one store employee died when he was unlocking the doors at opening. Some lawsuits are claiming that their injuries were caused because of "carelessness, recklessness, negligence." Others are claiming that Wal-mart could have prevented all these injuries and even death by being more prepared. For example they could have had barriers, and security to help avoid the mosh of people. It is being said that police had come many times throughout the night to help keep all the custumors in order. They had not been called until 5 a.m. when the stampede had already happened. It is said that once doors were opened many fell to the ground, but the store employee was trampeled by hundreds and later comfirmed to be dead, while other workers fought to get out of the way.
