The Videos Are In: US Shoppers Go Wild, Beat Each Other Up To Celebrate Black Friday Sales

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It's Black Friday which means the US is flooded with videos of its favorite pastime: mauls in the malls, as vicious brawls and fights break out among total strangers across across America's countless retail outlets.

The first videos trickle in:

 

And yet, this year there may be a shift.

Moments ago IBM Watson Trend released the latest Thanksgiving online sales which rose 26% from 2014, with mobile traffic reaching nearly 60% of all online traffic, an increase of 14.8% over 2014. According to IBM, consumers spent $123.45/order with 40% of all online sales came from mobile devices, an increase of 24% over Thanksgiving 2014.

Some other notable findings:

  • Smartphones accounted for 47% of all Thanksgiving online traffic vs tablets at 13.7%; smartphones also surpassed tablets in sales, driving 24% of online sales vs tablets at 16%
  • IBM Watson predicts Black Friday online sales up more than 14.5% y/y
  • Consumers indicate top products incl. Apple Watch, Samsung, Sony, LG TVs, Microsoft Surface Pro 4

And while this is good news for the Amazons of the world as consumers continue to migrate to online shopping platforms, this is bad news for traditional brick-and-mortar retailers for whom today was supposed to be the one day when sales are solidly in the "black."

As Bloomberg summarizes, the online rush comes as Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Macy’s Inc. and other chains roll out their Black Friday specials, aiming to get more shoppers into stores. About 135.8 million Americans are expected to shop in stores or online over the four-day weekend, according to the National Retail Federation, the largest U.S. retail trade organization. The amount they’ve spent has declined over the past two years, dropping 11 percent to $50.9 billion in 2014.

Though consumers are benefiting from lower fuel prices and unemployment rates, retailers have their challenges. Mall traffic is in the midst of a long-term slowdown, and shoppers are spending more on experiences and less on stuff. More recently, a warm autumn has curtailed sales of seasonal merchandise, leaving stores with excess inventory. All those factors point to a need for heavy discounting -- good for consumers, but not so great for retailers’ profits.

 

From the perspective of the amount of discounting that’s going on, the over-inventory situation, it seems like there are going to be a lot of great deals in the next 45 days,” said Bob Drbul, a retail analyst at Nomura Securities International.

The NRF’s traffic forecast represents a 1.6 percent increase from last year although in a zero-sum market, "there’s a risk that fewer shoppers than expected may show up." Last year, the NRF had forecast 140.1 million consumers would hit stores and e-commerce sites, 4.8 percent more than actually turned out, according to its post-weekend shopping survey. Expect more of the same as the transition to online shopping accelerates.

Furthermore increasingly more stores are pulling back on their Thanksgiving weekend hours this year and electing to spread more of their specials throughout the month. Wal-Mart said it expects record crowds on Friday, even though it’s putting most of its discounts online first.

So videos of the occasional brawl the best evidence of the demise of traditional retailer comes from in person "channel checks" such as what  TheStreet's correspondent Brian Sozzi has been doing all night. Here are some of his "ghost town" findings.

Many LOLs... I knew Tyler would chime in with the Wack Friday savagery in the morning.

Freaking animals behave better than sale-hungry Americans. My mother or I feed the birds every morning - they are a very orderly kind, even in numbers.

The sad thing that I learned from ZH over the last few Wack Fridays is that this disgusting behavior has spread to other countries as well. Many countries still aspire to America despite its evildoing, and I guess being savage shoppers is one of their aspirations.

You can't fix deliberate stupidity.

Burning down a house is a lot more entertaining than watching people have minor altercations over crappy Chinese-made garbage.  

I'm spending my Friday off down at Cecil County Dragway- something I actually like doing.  I got a car that needs desperately to dip into the 9s.  Blue Chevelle, white stripes, big turbo.  If you see me there, feel free to stop by and say hi.

Yes, these incidents make the news, but mostly it is merely shopping with a sense of urgency.

Now, on the other hand, if you want to get the crap beaten out of you, get in front of the fresh green beans at a Whole Foods on the weekend before Thanksgiving, and the upper middle class moms will fucking murder you.

Bullshit right wing low class(less) nonsense.
I hate the left, but I still shop at whole foods, and was there almost every day before thanksgiving.
There were zero fights.
I did see the vegans come out and wail about the mass holocaust of turkeys to make 'mericans fatter. On this I agree, even when the over 150 pounds overweight city cop showed up in case the skinny vegans came around again, the terrorists!(/sarc)
It was hipsters fighting hipsters. You never see cucks fighting cucks over idealogical reasons. Its one big mega church of cucktainity.

The only good thing about the left, is they at least speak their mind.
Right wingers just use cuck talking points and frame it as masculinity.
This place seems to be a haven for out of touch right wingers who hate anything 'natural'.

Like rights, food, or nature.

I would rather hook up with an upper middle class mom than some low life lower middle class wall martian.

Privileged white putz?

Tell that to any white American small business owner who has to compete against business owners of other races who are required to pay less taxes strictly because they aren't white.

Tell that to the most qualified job applicant who worked hard in school just like everyone else, but is told that due to his race (white/caucasian) he will not be getting the job, as the company has quotas (of non-white applicants) to meet. Also note that if someone of ANY other race was openly told that, it would mean a huge lawsuit.

Tell that to any white person who works for the post office or the VA (and isn't a doctor) who is openly treated with contempt, and is routinely passed over for raises and promotions due to the color of there skin. Also note that this person wouldn't dare mention this, or file a complaint for fear of losing their job.

Tell that to the white Police Chief who dared suggest that indeed ALL lives matter. We all know what happened to him.

Actually, I changed my mind, don't tell those people anything. Why don't you just take your ignorant, self-righteous comments, and shove them up your dumb ass.

Excellent. Blacks have already attained supremacy in government employment through affirmative action.  If you did an analysis of TV news crews versus population demographics, blacks have won there too. I won't mention the racial makeup of the VA.

How many straight white men has Obama appointed to any cabinet level positions?

Whites are the new Juden and when the blacks and browns get large enough numbers, then they will take off their velvet gloves and show us that the genocide is on.

Wake up folks.

Don't let these racist niggers or their white cuckholds shame  you. Fuck them and their black supremacist bullshit.

I am white. I am proud of being white and of the accomplishments  of my ancestors -- none of whom owned slaves but who fought against the tyranny of the Union in the war of Northern Agression.

Fuck anybody whos says I shouldn't be.

And you know what, I don't fucking like niggers. I won't live around them and I won't do business with them. BTDT. I know better.

Experience has made me the racist I am today. I wasn't raised that way.  I unlearned all the bullshit school, TV, and my parents taught me. A 3 on 1 beating started my matriculation. Think of it as TNB 101.  I eventually got a PhD in TNB.

Avoid the groid and his white cuckholds. They are dangerous. They want to take your guns and force you to live in a predator zone (they call it housing equality or some bullshit).

I want to secure a future for my white children, and I sure as fuck can't do it in a city full of niggers and white liberals.

So to all the black racists and mudsharks reading this: FUCK YOU!

I'll stop saying Nigger when blacks stop saying it. As long it's part of their lexicon, it's also part of mine.

That's equality bitch.

Thanks for the link Escrava, I've ordered the book.  Don't listen to some of the commentors.  These are the same people that whistle past the graveyard everytime China has a success.  Chinese will be the first people on the plante to accelerate into Eugenics - count on it.

People here at Z Hedge that think genetics don't matter, have been hypnotized.  You've been listening to the main stream media since you were born, and hence cannot overcome your progamming.

Look deep, and you will find that you are self censoring yourself.  Free your mind and stop being a hypnotized and spouting nonsense.

It is absolutely a true statement that behavior breaks down across racial lines.  There is also strong correlation to IQ.

A race of people can also be bred down with dysgenics; that is - the lower class, lower IQ and more genetic defectives get "economic support" to then have a high number of children.

Here is a link to the Octomom:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/octomom-welfare-fraud/

A population like the U.S. also enters into dysgenics when it imports vast quantities of low IQ people from around the world.  In the meantime, higher IQ highly educated mostly white people stop having babies, or they abort them.

Over time, this sort of Dysgenics will breed a low IQ moron population that is unable to control themselves, create, or even understand the people and things came before them.  

South Africa is a good example of real time dysgenics, happening now.  In near future, they won't even be able to maintain their former infrastructure.  Haiti is an example of of past dygenics as it went from being a beautiful spot, to blight on the earth.

A proper money system can vector debt free money into moron households and demand they have no more than one or two children in exchange for their unearned benefits.

A democracy cannot stand for this, as the morons will vote themselves increasing benefits.  A republic with its own money power could do it, but not a democracy.

Astounding, MEFOBILLS.

 

Some of these Hedgers have been here for years and they still can't overcome their own indoctrination. Chomsky once said that America has the best indoctrination, propaganda, and nationalism system in the world. I can clearly see it now.

 

Anyway, great post, as usual. Always enjoy reading your ability to clearly explain complexes issues so eloquently. So intuitively.  

 

Thanks for posting and for your insights. Learned a lot.

 

And hope you enjoy the book.

 

 

By the way, I constantly use your line: Communism is super capitalism by asking people first if they could tell me the difference between communism and capitalism.

 

You should see their face. As if they were hit by a truck.

It's almost like the media is owned/controlled by an alien tribe with an agenda that includes removing their competitors for global power through miscegeneation & mass immigration under the rubric of multicultural equality.

Went out this morning, no drama. Everyone I met was nice- customers and staff, no drama, no lines.

Kohl's- Annual Bra Sale; 2 bras $14.99 each less 15% additional discount

Lowe's- wreath for the front door $7

JC Penny- 1 sweater $10, 2 tee shirts $6 each

Target- pair of jeans 40% off- $17, Altoid mints 1/2 price $3

Meijer- wanted some $5 items but they were all sold out

$75 total, $68 on regular stuff unrelated to Christmas, just well priced.

Target was the most busy and they still had TV and such stacked around the store unsold.

There is a LOT of animosity in the US, and a lot of xenophobia; should "Law and Order" break down for any reason, there are plenty who will take full advantage of such an opportunity to settle old scores (that may date back generations).

@soniii "ps2 : im not black, i just have a brain "

how can you have a brain if you dont have one

usually if people say they are smarter than others there is no more than ignorance behind it

 

first of all: all racial studies are CENSORED

because you have a brain, i repeat it for you CENSORED

you still dont get it? ok beacase you are so smart i expalin it to you

CENSORED MEANS KOWN AND STUDIED AND PROVEN BUT RESTRICTED TO MAJOR PUBLIC

with other words you idiot should stay the idiot you are because authorities want that


second i AM mixed 

i am a migrant

i know from my self i am different from others

i have a different behavour from others

 

i didnt want to play the race card but here:

i repeat i am mixed, a migrant with jew-descent

i lived trough racism discrimination exclusion agains me in all kinds

i can speak 4 languages from the east to the west

my parents became both sick until i was 12: i had no money, i used to live in a european slum, i had native friends , i had foreign friends, i had muslim friends, i chritian friends, i had black friends, i had asian friends - i studied unintentionally all of their behavour on a real life example, while you played pokemon

 

you are living in a multicultural society full of migrats, jews, slave-cheap-labour-workers with a brainwash media  jew-owned

"ps2 : im not black, i just have a brain" <-- lolololol

maybe you should delete you zh account? you dont even know who tyler durden is and advice medication pfffffff you shut-in joke of a nurse

 

there is somthing like sexual and natural selection

people until recent lived in tribes

this tribes were splitted for thousand of years without contact and multi interbreed

if you have a slightest part of a brain you could undrestand that for example: there is a different selection of people in a muslim society comparable to a western society. with the result of people becoming different in behavour by their gentic

 

all of this is completely censored in western media:

here a eyeopener example: i come tou your country (your tribe and family) i take your leading position away/ my child take away your childs position

your child will work for my child's company 

you will have less children so i bring in immigrants to you and tell you idiot that we need them so much because they fleeing war and poverty

and your stupid daughter will love muslim dick becasue she was told in class to love all colors (there is only brown color by the way)

your tribe die  my media censors it  and you praise me for equality

while im converting you work into my money

 

actually i oppose all of the negative thing above: i dont have a company, i dont have slave workers, i never abuse anyone and i want white poeple, black poeple, asian poeple etc to be free from jew problem, i dont belive in god nor do i practise judaism, i oppose zionism, slavery, genicide and criminality

usually i have to verbaly( not real) hit the face of person until he wakes up

Oddly enough, it is EXACTLY a question of color. IQ correlates more strongly with skin color than with any other single factor or even combinations of factors (ie controlling for everything anyone can think of).

Note I said skin color, NOT genetics.  There are many different, genetically diverse peoples across the world who are further apart from each other than they are from white people, yet they, by and large, are dumb as bricks.  Why?  I suspect it has to do with something I call "Scary Sheep Syndrome", based off of the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKExXjFAQz4

This is demonstrated in human children: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkpUyB2xgTM

Basically, the human, or even the mammalian brain is fundamentally flawed (though in a way that has certainly increased survival rates) in the way it ascribes characteristics based on looks, particularly that being dark colored means you are more masculine, aggressive, and less trustworthy, and just the opposite for those that are light colored. In human societies, this becomes a self fulfilling prophesy, as we (all of us) favor children with light colored skin while disfavoring those with dark colored skin, meaning there is less nurturing from family and strangers alike, more mistrust, less patience, etc. This is further exacerbated by a social feedback loop within communities formed of dark skinned people (African, Indian, Aboriginal, or otherwise) where the society simply falls apart over time.

Africa didn't build anything. Continents don't build things.

Black Africans built pyramids and stele in Nubia/Ethiopia/Axum. They sure as hell didn't build the great pyramids, and sure as BLOODY HELL never ruled the known world, unless you mean the ones down in the jungle who didn't know there was a world outside their little 100 square mile "kingdom".

Yes, there were Nubian pharaohs. There were also Jewish pharaohs. Both groups were kicked out of Egypt when their dynasties collapsed (the latter being the factual basis of Exodus--quite a bit different from what you learned in Sunday school, lol).

Fred Reed has a funny take on this.

http://www.fredoneverything.net/WhiteMales.shtml

"Tell you what. I'm gonna get me about sixteen Dobermans with no judgment. Then, next time I see one of those chunky talk-show ladies with short hair blowing about what brigands white males are, and how we ought to dethrone them, I'm gonna get the Dobermans to eat her. Then I'll get their stomachs pumped, because I like dogs, and send them on a vacation to the Bahamas.

The other day I heard one of'em blathering about white males. (A chunky lady, not a Doberman.) She was all in an uproar about it. She had the nuanced lyricism I associate with truss ads and said we needed to deconstruct the paradigm of white patriarchal masculinity with its linear-logical gender-hierarchical phallocentric oppressive something-or-other. She wanted to get rid of white males.

I figured she needed to learn English first, but never mind.

Now, mostly I'm a well-mannered fellow, because my momma taught me to be. Sometimes I come up short. This was one of them.

I found myself wanting to say, "Now, listen here, Maple Syrup. You get up in the morning, maybe with the help of a forklift, and get food out of the refrigerator, which white men invented and you don't understand. (What's the compressor for? Did you know a refrigerator had a compressor?) Then you sit down to write your thoughts on a defenseless computer, which white men invented and you don't understand. (What's branch prediction on a floating-point pipeline? Name the three parts of a transistor?)

"Next you to go to the studio in your car, which white men invented and you don't understand. (What are dual overhead cams? The difference between pre-ignition and detonation?) Finally you spew your wormwood and gall on television, which white men invented and you don't understand. (Where is closed-captioning encoded in an NTSC signal? I'll tell you: In the vertical-blanking interval. Now do you know?)

"Hooboy, am I impressed, Sweet Potato. Yes ma'am. I sure enough see why we need to get rid of white males. How could anyone doubt it?"

Actually, I've got nothing against spewing gall. Do a little of it myself. I might spew wormwood too, except I'm not sure what it is. But I begin to notice a pattern. The people who grouse most about white males are people who can't keep up with them, and who owe the most to them. Those who can keep up--Chinese males, Vietnamese males, males from India--don't do a lot of complaining.

Don't misunderstand me. We pale males aren't perfect. Far from it. We've got warts on most of us. We leave things all over the living room. We drink beer and chase women. Sometimes we punch each other out in bars. But we have contributed a few things to civilization. For example:

Euclidean geometry. Parabolic geometry. Hyperbolic geometry. Projective geometry. Differential geometry. Algebra. Limits, continuity, differentiation, integration. Physical chemistry. Organic chemistry. Biochemistry. Classical mechanics. The indeterminacy principle. The wave equation. The Parthenon. The Anabasis. Air conditioning. Number theory. Romanesque architecture. Gothic architecture. Information theory. Entropy. Enthalpy. Every symphony ever written. Pierre Auguste Renoir. The twelve-tone scale. The mathematics behind it, twelfth root of two and all that. S-p hybrid bonding orbitals. The Bohr-Sommerfeld atom. The purine-pyrimidine structure of the DNA ladder. Single-sideband radio. All other radio. Dentistry. The internal-combustion engine. Turbojets. Turbofans. Doppler beam-sharpening. Penicillin. Airplanes. Surgery. The mammogram. The Pill. The condom. The penis. Polio vaccine. The integrated circuit. The computer. Football. Computational fluid dynamics. Tensors. The Constitution. Euripides, Sophocles, Aristophanes, Aeschylus, Homer, Hesiod. Glass. Rubber. Nylon. Roads. Buildings. Elvis. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. (OK, that's nerve gas, and maybe we didn't really need it.) Silicone. The automobile. Really weird stuff, like clathrates, Buckyballs, and rotaxanes. The Bible. Bug spray. Diffie-Hellman, public-key cryptography, and RSA. Et cetera.

You're welcome.

Me, I reckon as how radical-feminist ladies can blow their horns as soon as they have a horn to blow. Don't reach for your earplugs just yet. Fact is, being myself a competitive white male, more or less rational, and like most white males inclined to try to figure out this screwy universe and maybe make it a bit less unpleasant for all concerned--I believe I could get along without bitchy feminists. It would be a stretch, but I could do it. The sterile, a curmudgeon might say (though I don't know any of those) have little obvious right to assault the productive, to gripe about what they can't do and can't do without. Fish or cut bait, I might almost say.

Sometimes I think feminism comes down to sheer ill-breeding. When men, as thousands do, (along with any number of women) spend lifetimes in labs at NIH and suchlike, working their guts out trying to find out how oncogenes work and how to get at cancer cells with something they won't like at all--when they do this for thirty years straight, for reasonable but not cosmic salaries--they aren't trying to oppress Native Americans or to batter women or commit incest with defenseless autistics. They're trying to get rid of cancer. The response of anyone with class would be, "Thanks, gang. Keep at it." And when somebody finally does beat cancer, the odds are phenomenal that it will be a white male. Deal with it, Sweet Potato.

Now I've gotta run. To the guard-dog store, for some Dobermans."

Even though you are correct that a lot of the people in the videos are of color.  I would have to disagree as to why they are acting this way. It has to do more with their economic standing in society and since statistically more people of color fall into the lower end of the economic spectrum that is why you see a majority in these videos. Now as to why they are at the lower end of the economic spectrum is entirely different debate with a number of possibilities. .......

but what i want to say is that this people, in this case black people, are responible too for what they became
