Report: Shoppers unfazed as man dies at Target

Report: Shoppers unfazed as man dies at Target

Family and friends were stunned by the loss of a West Virginia man who died while shopping on Black Friday as fellow bargain hunters reportedly walked around — and even over — the man’s body.
Family members told WSAZ-TV that 61-year-old Walter Vance of Logan County, W. Va., had become ill and collapsed while shopping for Christmas decorations inside Target in South Charleston. He later died after being taken to the hospital, family said.
Witnesses told the NBC News affiliate in Charleston, W. Wa., that shoppers walked around and even over Vance’s body.
Okay, this is getting really scary. Is this what we are becoming? A people who ignore people in distress or pepper spray each other to save a buck? Has utter greed replaced empathy and compassion? What the fuck? If this is the best we can do, I'd hate to see the worst. But, we probably will see that eventually.
