The Golden Rule
From Dallas Morning News:
"A rush to buy $50 used laptops turned into a violent stampede Tuesday, with people getting thrown to the pavement, beaten with a folding chair and nearly driven over. One woman went so far as to wet herself rather than surrender her place in line. ....When the gates opened, a mob scene ensued. People threw themselves forward, screaming and pushing. A girl's stroller was crushed in the stampede. Witnesses said an elderly man was thrown to the pavement, and someone in a car tried to drive through the crowd."
And we thought all those looters after Baghdad fell were a bunch of barbarians.
