Family of Trampled Walmart Employee File Lawsuit
A hired helper for the holidays employee was killed when customers stormed inside the store. Fucking consumerism, huh? How sad and unnecessary.
The family of a worker trampled to death in a “Black Friday” crush of bargain hunters at a Long Island Wal-Mart store filed a wrongful-death lawsuit on Wednesday, claiming store ads offering deep discounts “created an atmosphere of competition and anxiety” that led to “crowd craze.”
Naturally, the family of victim Jdimytai Damour [34] is filing a wrongful death lawsuit against Walmart, the adjacent Green Acres Mall, the company that manages the property and the company in charge of security. In their view Wamart was “engaged in specific marketing and advertising techniques to specifically attract a large crowd and create an environment of frenzy and mayhem and was otherwise careless, reckless and negligent.”
Despite his 6-5, 270 pound stature, Damour died of asphyxiation when trampled by the 2000+ shoppers that fled into the store that night. The amount that the family is suing for has not been disclosed, but I’m sure that they will get what they ask for. Not that money is much consolation mind you—especially when it appears that the shoppers involved will most likely get away scot free.
Police are reviewing store video to identify possible suspects in Damour’s death, but Mulvey conceded that criminal charges are unlikely. Read Full Article @ MSNBC
