Queues, chaos and quarrels over cut-price goods - this is a perfect description of Black Friday. Since 1952, the day following Thanksgiving Day has been regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season in the U.S.. Most of major retailers offer promotional sales and keep their shops open from early morning till late night.
Black Friday isn't a safe day, and the following story (one of many) will show you why.
It happened four years ago in Texas. A man tried to cut in line and he decided that the best way is too punch another shopper in the face. The punched shopper pulled a gun - as he claimed in self defence. The most crazy thing is that the store manager gave the man with the gun a voucher and asked him to leave. Shopping resumed just 10 minutes after the incident occurred.
You can watch this video and look how people go crazy during Black Friday.
