VIDEO: Black Friday madness around the country

by The AV Times Staff • November 23, 2012

Shoppers pile up at an east coast Walmart on Black Friday.

Antelope Valley residents were out in droves this morning (many even camped out overnight) taking advantage of Black Friday discounts and deals.

As of 3 p.m., Friday (Nov. 23), there were no reports of mayhem associated with Black Friday shoppers in the Antelope Valley, according to the watch commanders at the Lancaster and Palmdale Sheriff’s Stations.

“It’s been pretty smooth for us,” said Lt. Carter of the Lancaster Station.

The same cannot be said for other parts of the country.

    Insane. I make as many gifts as I can or try to buy from small, local people. Handcrafts rule and are so much more personal than a 2,000 inch TV.

      I wish everybody did that. I don’t think the morons in the videos could glue a couple popsicle sticks together.

      Why are my comments “awaiting moderation” for so long?

        I think they’re on to you, Otto. They’re taking extra time to look for hidden meaning in your posts.

          Sed- I think it’s cuz I used the controversial term “M0rons”.

            Maybe trying to decide if it’s politically correct enough to use here

    Scary.I wonder how many voted in the last election.No class.no civility, no common sense and I suredon’t want to hear the merchants complain because they are mostly to blame for encouraging it.
    Bah humbug!

      Yeah, they did one of two things. They didn’t vote or if they did, I have a pretty good idea for who!

          I am. Be honest now. If you were offered a million bucks if you could correctly guess who these people would have voted for, what would your guess be? Honestly.

          • sacryinshame says

            November 24, 2012 at 11:18 pm

            Give me the money first, then I’ll tell you who they voted for, if they voted.

    “Funny” you beat me to it. My comment is very similar but is still “awaiting moderation”. Come on guys.

    What a bunch of idiots. Why not spend a few more bucks on-line and avoid a street brawl. This society has broken down. You never would have seen this as little as 20 years ago.
