I could type a long post about Black Friday and how ridiculous it is to knock somebody over to save a few bucks on the latest gadget. Or How silly it is to stand in line for hours and have violence erupt with fellow shoppers. I could go on and on... but one needs to look no further than the lead headline on Fox News this morning. It tells the whole story better than I ever could. "VIOLENCE BREAKS OUT ON BLACK FRIDAY: NJ man charged with assault of police officer after argument with Wal Mart manager". Yup! That says it all right there. Merry Christmas, Folks! Sheesh!

Black Friday Violence
Here are a few snippets from the article if you don't want to read the whole thing:
A New Jersey man was arrested Thursday in a Walmart and charged with disorderly conduct and aggravated assault on a police officer after allegedly arguing with a store employee over a TV.
In the Chicago suburb of Romeoville, a driver believed to be involved in a shoplifting scheme was shot by authorities after dragging a police officer who was trying to stop him in the parking lot of a Kohl's department store late Thursday.
At a Wal-Mart in the Southern California city of Rialto, a police officer was injured while trying to break up a fight after a store manager decided to open the doors early, which police said led to the melee.
Police said there were three fights at the store, two of which were inside over merchandise and the third outside that left the officer injured.
In Las Vegas, a customer who had purchased a big-screen television at Target was shot in the leg while walking to a nearby apartment complex.
