Black Friday only gets Darker

Black Friday Horror Stories - Business Insider: "4. Grandmas started dueling over a RadioShack calculator.  "One of the sale items was a $10 calculator marked down to $5. Two sweet, elderly women came in to the store looking for them. When I told them there was only one left in the display, it was on," writes Jsquaw.

"The one grandma who lost the race called the other one horrible names as she was standing in the checkout line, gripping her $5 prize.""

We live in a college town. Bryan TX is sister city with College Station TX where Texas A and M is located. There are other colleges around here too, like Blinn, and A and M Consolidated... etc.

I was talking just now with my youngest son, 17, about the news that a Wal-Mart employee was trampled when doors opened at 6AM this morning. This happened in Delaware, or, as reported HERE. I mentioned to my son that we live in a place, Bryan, where that sort of thing won't happen for many years. He said, "I bet there is a death here next year [Black Friday, 2014]."

I chuckled, but then started thinking about it, and thus this post is written. Black Friday is enigmatic, and now dangerous. On most Wal-Mart walls, written in Sharpie on poster board, taped to the blue bricks, is the sign "BLITZ starts HERE" with arrow pointing to entrance.

I then explained to youngest son, "Do you know where the word Blitz comes from?" His eyes glazed over as he prepared himself for one of my miserable anecdotes.

"No, Dad," he replied.

So I gave the talk about how Nazi Germany developed a method of warfare called the Blitzkrieg, and that this word has been co-opt'd to the abbreviation "Blitz" which American football has made it a term describing a type of defensive-turned-offensive maneuver ... and now Wal-Mart uses the word for its Black Friday rush by mobs of shoppers at its stores in early hours on Black Friday.

This hour I found this LINK in my gmail, from ChristianBook.com, along with 66 updates concerning Black Friday Week Deals and sales online. In Christian circles I always thought Black Friday was the day remembered for when Christ was crucified.

CONCLUSION
Why would anyone go to a dangerous Blitz opening at a store, when one could stay at his laptop and shop all the same stuff Online?

MORAL OF THIS STORY
A good Defense is having a good Offense. Or, good news is free advertising: bad news is free advertising.

MooPig 12 Days of Doom Prep Debunker Department :: "Stranded and no one to Talk to ..."

Prescient warnings are becoming a frightening reality.
Retrieved by Pat Darnell | Jan 5, 2013 | Bryan TX

Seriously, I don't know where I am going with this article today. Let's just sit back, and see what happens.

Before the year 2012 ended, MooPig found tons of information about "prepping." It is the citizens' facing the reality of a doomsday, and doing something today to ward off impending danger and anarchy. These individual mitigation control projects range from hoarding supplies, building underground bunkers, to bizarre paramilitary training, all because of having knowledge of events before they take place. Following is some related stories ...

Before the year ended, MooPig Doomsday Prep Debunker Department found out it was too late to join the fun. We instead searched for meaning in all the prepping going on, and all its publicity. So, if you can't join them, then it is time to sing...  here is the Preppers' Song ...

-- MEANWHILE --

The Red List: Prepper Put On No Fly List, Escorted Off Plane Under Armed Guard | Market Daily News: " ... When 34-year-old U.S. citizen and Mississippi resident Wade Hicks boarded a military flight to visit his wife, a Navy lieutenant stationed in Okinawa, Japan, he did not think it would be a one-way trip. Stopping off in Hawaii to refuel, upon re-boarding the plane, Hicks was quickly escorted back off again by armed guards. He was then taken to a secure interrogation room where Hicks was informed he would not be flying anywhere because he turned up on the no-fly list. "

" ... Hicks has since been stranded on the island state without a way home." (Market daily news. October 17, 2012. HERE and HERE) ... "

'via Blog this'

What did he do wrong? No one knows. He told reporters that a man had joined his preppers group under the guise of a disabled Navy SEAL.

" ... Hicks revealed to Infowars that a supposed disabled veteran claiming to be a Navy Seal had joined his prepper group earlier in the year, but Hicks felt the man's story seemed suspicious. Through a Freedom of Information Act request, Hicks learned the man had never been in the military even though he possessed an authentic military ID. Sometime later while out driving, Hicks saw the man's car and ended up tailing him to a Mississippi Department of Homeland Security branch office where the man parked his car. (Market daily news. October 17, 2012. HERE and HERE) ... "

-- Semper Fi, Citizens! are ye Prepped? --
