News v. News

Perhaps the Department of Homeland Security should be doing a better job keeping holiday shoppers safe- from each other.

I’ve read several reports of shoppers trampling each other today in the rush to take advantage of post-Thanksgiving savings at stores across the country. You can even watch videos of the rioting rampage at malls across the country. As one lady in Michigan who witnessed a rampage said, “This is ridiculous. I do not want my life in danger for this. We got babies getting hurt . . . this is not worth it . . . I don’t feel that I have to get beat up to get a sale.”

I have a lot of sympathy for the injured. But honestly, why does Drudge think this is news? Now, if he wanted to highlight Dubya’s relapse abroad . . . now that’s news!
