Mass mayhem and carnage over used laptops

Wow...people totally suck

From the article:

A rush to purchase $50 used laptops has turned into a violent stampede, with people getting thrown to the pavement, beaten with a folding chair and nearly driven over. One woman went so far to wet herself rather than surrender her place in line.

This article has pictures

Man....the poor security guards.....

That reminds me of the frenzies over Cabbage Patch Kids back in the 80's. I'll admit, that's a damn good deal on a computer, but it's not worth life and limb....sheesh.

Oops, that anonymous comment was from me. I screwed up and logged out and THEN read your journal. Sorry about that.

That's what they get for living in Detroit. (Did I say that out loud?)
