While I'm issuing memos:
Dear New York Wal-Mart customers,
Happy? Did you get your bargains? Find the stuff you wanted? Get all your Christmas shopping done early? Save a ton?
Great, fantastic! and only one man had to die to make it happen. How proud you must be, how smug.
As far as I'm concerned, you're beneath contempt. Every damned one of you who ran over the poor man or ignored the attempts of his coworkers and the police to rescue him. I'm all for commerce and capitalism, and I have no problem with a little bit of shopping for the holidays, but damn, what kind of animals are you?
And my heart goes out to the family of this poor man, who was working a temp job. I can only imagine what was going through his head -- trying to get ahead, working, trying to be productive, trying to either pull himself up by his bootstraps or trying to make a little extra to give his family a better Christmas.
And now he's dead.
Because you just HAD to be among the first ones in.
Well, now you have to live with the consequences. I hope it weighs on your consciences a good long time.
