Black Friday shoppers -two huh? EPA/TANNEN MAURY
Pepper spray, tasers, stampedes, hair pulling, pushing and shoving are all becoming a Black Friday tradition, as Wal-Mart appears to be ground central for the worst ugly Americans to practice 'competitive shopping.'
First reports came in from Porter Ranch, California as a woman pepper-sprayed other shoppers Thursday night at the Wal-Mart to gain an advantage in the fight for merchandise at the Black Friday sales.
Los Angeles Fire Capt. James Carson tells the Los Angeles Times, "She was competitive shopping."
In other Wal-Marts, a shoplifting grandfather had his face bashed in, and others were pinched, pulled, shoved and generally assaulted by fleeing shoppers who grabbed and ran to the checkout.
