It sounds like your making an excuse for the "idiots" because the store provided a "stimulous" that they "reacted" too. Last Christmas I got up early and went to a nearby Best Buy to try to take advantage of the great sales they were advertising. It actually was a 32" LCD TV for, if I remember right, about $500. I was shocked when I got there at about 4:30 AM and found lines with thousands of people waiting since the previous afternoon. I didn't even get in line. I watched from my car as they opened the doors at 5:00 AM and watched the hordes pour in. Just out of curiousity I went into the store and squeezed my way through the ailes just to watch the circus. It was interesting to say the least. I left Best Buy and went to a nearby Walmart and went in and found a similar TV for about $100 more, but without near the crazynous. What I witnessed that morning was a lot of people acting like animals. But the majority of people (those in the back of the line) acting relatively normal. My point is that all the people had a choice how they acted. Some chose to act like idiots. Most did not. I don't think you can blame the "stimulous" for the problem. The root of the problem was the people that chose to act like animals. I don't think we need to make excuses for this type of person. We need to make examples of them and teach the next generation not to tolerate this type of behavior.
