The videos are being uploaded as we speak; the turkey has been served and digested and now its time for the 'Annual Black Friday THANKSGIVING DAY sales'. An annual event where Americans beat the heck out of each to grab that one bargain that they cannot do without.
On a more serious note, we probably pride ourselves that we are 'not like those idiots', but if the scenario was a SHTF event, this is what we would see right here in Australia. Best to be prepared NOW than risk your life entering stores with others who most probably would kill you in a heartbeat if the commodity they were fighting over was food.
PS. If you listen carefully to the 2nd video, you can hear a VoiceOver of David Attenborough. Animals indeed.

I think that Attenborough voice over was from a doco on chimpanzees, one of the few (maybe only) animals apart from humans that indulge in warfare and unnecessary violence...and they are only a couple of DNA points away from being human.
Is it any wonder that half the world hates the west?
These people are just animals...no they aren't, they're just human...most animals only fight like this for food and that's for real survival, not a bloody TV.
This is almost exactly what it will be like maybe 2-3 days after an SHTF event, just a lot worse I suspect. The good news is that us preppers won't be there, we'll be boarding up windows, securing perimeters, and getting our toys out of the safe.

Triple tap eh? Bugger, I've been working on double taps, guess I'd better get 50% more ammo Yes, it's just another sign of a declining system, I would wager that they had similar behavior at the end of the Roman empire, and all others I suppose, although one difference might be the rampant consumerism that's infected the west, I dunno if that was the case in ancient civilizations.

Yep, its crazy to see what people are like when it comes to saving a few bucks. Imagine what it'll be like when there is something actually worth fighting for

The Chinese interwebs have been full of people chortling about how uncivilized Americans are --- the sales are all done online in China, so the only people who are hurt are the delivery guys working crazy hours for days afterward and the website admins who do hundreds of hours of overtime in the lead up.

Oh the irony of a totalitarian society [China] calling the US uncivilized.

Yeah, plenty of people find China has more personal freedom than the US...when talking about drinking at least -- have met many a young yank in China who can't believe they can legally drink here (as there is no legal drinking age, no laws on street drinking etc). Would be nice if I didn't need a VPN to see a lot of websites though (although Aus is going that way too).

I've wondered about that for ages. Socialist Obama has made America a very, very dangerous place to live. Most of you would understand and have read some of the freedoms being striped from Americans. Not sure if you are aware, but 27 Democratic governors (Obamas party) have called for climate change deniers to be jailed. They want Obama to put forward a recommendation at this Agenda 2030 climate scam in Paris to force it to also be implemented in participating countries. Hello? America is a democracy? Hardly! Socialism......the goal of socialism is.....Communism Vladimir Lenin. And we have the ONLY leader in the world Putin, trying to wipe out ISIS with a hand tied behind his back - and at a mighty cost to Russian citizens.

The US is no longer the "land of the free" despite the rhetoric.
Unfortunately Australia tends to follow what the US does.
