Thoughts on Wal-Mart worker

I think this shows American's at their worst, the facts show : a mob of angry people killed a man to save a couple bucks on some clothes and electronics. When you put it like that of course it sounds horrible and the article managed to successfully describe Americans as "savages". And to a point the article makes the reader believe that we as American's are savages who only care about making money and saving money. But the author of the article also managed to not get any quotes from people who were shopping. The article puts down anyone who wanted to save money for that day. I agree that the people didn't have to be that extreame but the words the author used did sound a bit extreame. Maybe it would have been a little bit more convincing if there were alternative view points.
