I have often criticized TV news, but here's a bit of investigative reporting that shows up all the other news sources that carried the story about the Wal-Mart shopper who was trampled in a greedy stampede of shoppers... well done, WKMG-TV.
local6.com - Problem Solvers - 'Trampled' Wal-Mart Shopper Has History Of Injury ClaimsA woman reported "trampled" last Friday by Wal-Mart shoppers desperate for $29.87 DVD players has a long history of claiming injuries from Wal-Marts and other businesses where she worked or shopped.
First of all, every year, my brother and I go out to Wal-Mart on Black Friday. Yes there is pushing, arguing, swearing, and shoving.... but there has not been one incident of people being trampled around here. If this is an incident that occurs every year, why does she risk her life everytime she goes out on black friday, doesn't she realize that it is HER decision to go out to a Wal-Mart on the biggest shopping day of the year. She obviously knows that there will be shoving and fighting going on, WHY GO OUT THEN? By the looks of her, she is just in it for the money. Wal-Mart is one of the biggest corportations around, try harder to win...Patricia.
