One Shot Dead Outside South Jersey Mall On Black Friday

Tyler Durden's picture

For yet another year, Black Friday has started off with a (deadly) bang, and as CBS reports, police are investigating a shooting outside of a South Jersey mall on Black Friday. It happened early this morning in South Jersey outside of the Macys department store at the Hamilton Mall, near Atlantic City. CBS 3’s Trang Do reports one person has died in the shooting.

“It’s sad,” said one shopper on the scene of the shooting.”We’ve been doing this, me and my girls for probably about ten years now, just for the fun of going out–a girls night and trying to get some special sales and it’s getting scary now.”

“It’s a tragedy…It’s very scary you know, you’re starting off the holiday season and you’re excited about the upcoming times with family and now there’s going to be family who are missing people and their holidays will never be the same,” said another shopper.

Dozens of shell casings are scattered around a bullet riddled silver SUV in the parking lot of the mall. The Hamilton Township Police Department has not provided any further information.

The good news: the mall was scheduled to open at 6 a.m.

this is why they call it "Black Friday"

If those filthy useless animals will kill each other for Nikes, imagine what they will do when their welfare gravy train finally rolls to a stop. Arm up, naive 'crackers'

They probably figured out it's more efficient to shoot the competition than wrestle them for the toaster.

When will America’s backward flyover states accept basic laws restricting the use of dangerous firearms??? All we want is SENSIBLE, COMMON-SENSE, LOGICAL, SIMPLE gun laws that prevent VIOLENT criminals from killing INNOCENT people! Why is it so hard to get conservatives to see this???

The police, who you would assign as the "protectors", usually show up in time to fill out the paperwork and call the morgue. Pass all the firearm laws you like, they never work.

MDB: "basic laws restricting the use of dangerous firearms???"

How pray does a basic law restrict the use of dangerous firearms?

At best it will reduce ownership of such weapons by law-abiding citizens. The criminals will not obey such laws and will continue regardless.

If they had Black Friday back in '40's, we could be watching reruns of the classic "Massacre on 34th Street."

Doesn't this shit happen every day of the week in Chicago, Baltimore etc?

Uhhhh dozens of casings makes me think this was not mere shopping rage.

Also: how long til they literally roll Chris Christie out from his long thanksgiving nap to address this? 

 

Surely another law would have prevented this. /sarc

Christi is still trying to wash the taste of Trumps Cock out of his mouth.

First thought was "Did this guy have a bag full of random range brass to contaminate his crime scene with?

Or they were really shitty at aiming...

Dozens of shell casings?  This might not have had anything to do with the redlight specials..

Sounds like a mob/gang hit to me.

If you can't spell Black Friday Sale looks a lot like Black Lives Matter meeting. What can I say! Snowflake read error.

O.K. I might be jumping the gun (No pun intended) but, 'silver SUV' in the parking lot at 3am, surrounded by 'dozens of shell casings' sure sounds to me like some, ahem, 'Gangsta' activity!?!

Oh well, one less Hillary supporter then!

All you need to know is that Hamiltion is relatively close to Trenton, NJ.

dozens of shell casings?  you can buy ammo at the mall now?  cool.

Was this over a pair of Nikes?

If so then they should change their logo to " Just Pop 'Em"

Hey. I think somebody committed a crime with a gun. How can that happen in a state with such sophisticated electronic systems and gun control? Doesn't gun control work? Geez.

Clue: If it's on CBS, it's bound to be a lie.

there was no intent no resonable prosecutor would take the case

Only one? That's it?! From what the media keeps reporting, I thought we had a real problem with "assault rifles" and mass murder in this country.

silverer's picture

It's serious, because it represents lost revenue for the store. I don't think most others give a damn about anything else anymore.

Seems like a good day for conspiracy theory. How about this.

 

"In order to decrease their cost of goods sold retailers have started capping their customers on the way to the parking lot in order to resell the flat screen televisions they have just purchased."

When asked for a comment a retail C.E.O. (who would only speak on deep background) stated that:  "Well sure getting to sell the same T.V. to 10 people helps our bottom line but the real increase in profits comes from selling 10 replacement/repair plans to people that get shot by our security staff."  "As the real pirates of yesteryear were fond of saying dead men file no claims--or some shit like that."

 

Our reporter questioned how no report has surfaced regarding security personnel involvement, his reply:

"We put them on segways.  That way they can creep up on folks while they wrestle shit into their trunks.  Segways and silencers are going to be what pulls this holiday season out of the crapper for us."

 

Asked if he had any other comments he replied:

"Merry friggin Xmas bitchez."  "And somebody tell Blart his break is over--back to the parking lot with another list.  Remember do the ones with the extended super premium replacement plan first."

Well, now we know why 63% of American shoppers planned not to shop on Black Friday.

I'd say this is a pretty good reason to stay away. Depraved people that would shoot other people over "stuff". Thanks, US education system, big corporations and communists for helping to shape their thinking.

Not just possible violence, but guaranteed hassle, crowds, chaotic and poorly designed parking lots, door dings, fender-benders, people stepping on your feet and running into with their carts as they stare at their phones.  Really, it's like Sartre's "No Exit" except with shopping carts.

I think a critical mass of people have decided it's just not worth it or fun enough to do anymore.  "Black Friday" is a fad that's past its expiration date.  When only desperate people show up for an unlikely chance at a sale price on a low-quality item, it's not even pulling demand forward; it's just a carnival for freaks, much less a way to extract more profits.

Those "Amish" are a real threat to public safety... ;-)

These were gangbangers. 3AM is about when they really get revved up. They sleep til 4 in the afternoon because you and I pay their mommas for breeding , feeding , housing and all medical and dental needs. See , work is a 4 letter word and they have figured it out and we haven't . In fact , we are so far from figuring that out we not only support our own families we happily support 2 or 3 dindu families as well. Our benevolence allows these practice rifle and pistol sessions in the wee hours of the night all over our big cities on a nightly basis.
Truth. It's what's for breakfast. Keep on keepin on ZHers. Happy Holidays.
