  (#13) Pregnant Woman Trampled

  Most of the time, when you hear about riots, stampedes or people perishing in crowds, it is a tragic occurance that happens during an important or political event, such as protesting denial of civil liberties. During the Friday after Thanksgiving, on the other hand, what it really takes to get folks riled up is 40% off of a DVD set.

  Laser-focused shoppers show no mercy. Back in 2005, and in Grand Rapids, Michigan , according to the video, shoppers trample and scuffled and pushed and knocked people down, including a pregnant woman. After her fall, most people just moved right on by and no tries to help her up. Later on, she is escorted to the hospital via ambulance.
