I only went to one Black Friday event at Vacaville outlet years ago. After that, I never wanted to go again! I prefer to sleep through the night instead of being in a crowded place where people go crazy snatching stuff from the shelves. So far, there have been more incidents at Wal Mart than other stores during Black Friday. At one Wal Mart, there was a shopping rage incident where customers were fighting over some stuff and this insane woman pepper sprayed other customers! At another Wal Mart, some people were almost robbed by some guy waiting for them outside the store.
I haven’t heard of any incidents at Macys, Bloomingdales or Neiman Marcus. So why did most of these bad incidents only occurred at Wal Mart? Does Wal Mart only attract ghetto people? I don’t know but so far I haven’t heard of any incidents at Kmart which also sells products at lower prices like Wal Mart.
Today on Black Friday, I received this by some guy who is in favor of the Occupy Protest: “EAT LOCAL, SHOP LOCAL, SUPPORT LOCAL, BANK LOCAL, Keep your Money in your community”. Didn’t some of these Occupy Protestors vandalized small local businesses in Oakland? Seriously I can not sympathize with them. If they advocate for small local businesses, do NOT vandalize their property! If they protested against BART, do NOT support BART by taking BART to go to Oakland for the Occupy Protest. As I mentioned in my other blog, some of these protestors don’t know what they are really fighting for. I find that there really isn’t any great purpose for this Occupy Protest other than to cause chaos and make cities clean up after their stinking mess. If they are into supporting local shops, small businesses, etc, then move out of the big cities and find a small town! I am sure there are some protestors fighting for a real cause. It is just certain protestors give other protestors a bad rep.
I pretty much stayed home all day today because I had to work. My company doesn’t close the day after Thanksgiving. A few hours ago, I was playing with my cat Smeagol. Whenever he gets excited or frightened, his tail gets so fuzzy like a raccoon’s tail!
Smeagol’s tail is usually skinny like this
After he gets excited and becomes very active, his tail gets all fuzzy
On KRON 4 news, there are two reporters that talk about all sorts of topics such as shopping deals or people behaving badly. One of the reporters is named Henry Tenenbaum. He looks like a friendly guy and all but when I watch his feature on TV, boy he makes me fall asleep! I never found any of his features on TV interesting. For instance, watch this video and check it out for yourself
You falling asleep yet? (yawning)
Another KRON 4 news reporter is Stanley Roberts who does the ‘People Behaving Badly’ segment. Some of his segments are OK like people running red lights or healthy people parking at a handicap parking spot. But sometimes, his segments doesn’t make sense. Watch this video and you decide.
After watching that ‘People Behaving Badly’ episode, I think it is more like people being irresponsible but doesn’t make them bad people. I think the bad person here is Stanley Roberts taking videos inside people’s vehicles! 🙂
