The Black Friday Death Count

in #society7 years ago

Black Friday is an eventful day for shopping. Everyone loves a good deal. Whether it's at 40%, 50% or 60% off, these deals have everyone going crazy and rushing to buy anything that is on sale.

So crazy that injuries and deaths can occur on this day.

The Black Friday Death Count is a website that tracks how many people have been killed or injured as a result of Black Friday shopping. It will record the event and link to the news article for more details. A lot of these events are usually brawls and shootings.

So far, the website has recorded that 10 people have died and 110 have been injured. That number will only go up with each year as people continue to obsess over sales and fail to control themselves.

You've seen all those Black Friday videos of people shoving each other and literally fighting over those great deals while rushing to get their hands on whatever bargains they get. Now you can see the consequences of some of these events as well in one place.

A Cyber Monday Death Count exists as well. However, no deaths nor injuries have been recorded... Yet.

That why I don't shop at Black Friday in stores! I will spend more money on medical bills just in case I get injured. I love cyber monday deals though!
