At this point, Black Friday is well-known for being an absolute mess to be involved with. People from all backgrounds across the nation unite at different locations and engage in mayhem as they rush to find limited quantities of items.
Popular stores open their doors in the early morning hours to lines of customers eager to get their hands on hot ticket items before they’re all gone. Whether it’s an Xbox, 64-inch flat screen TV, or discounted cell phone, customers are willing to risk injury to pay a lower price.
Sometimes the time spent waiting and the energy of the crowd can cause anger and fighting to ensue, as seen in the video above taken in a Walmart. A crowd gathers around a limited-supply of flat screen televisions, and everyone quickly grabs up all the boxes, leaving nothing for anyone else. Some customers appear to be holding multiple screens and one woman becomes upset that there are none left for her, so she appears to try to grab one of the boxes from a customer that was holding two.
Two Walmart officers quickly come to the aid of the situation and wrestle the woman to the ground leaving her without a flat screen and possibly in legal trouble.
These same flat screens might be available on Cyber Monday, which could have gave her the opportunity to relax away from the drama and police.
