The Atlanta Journal-Constitution sent out a report supposedly of an unknown man killed after he was caught shoplifting two DVD players from a Walmart.
In Lithonia, Georgie two Walmart employees and a security guard proceeded to follow the man outside and tackle him until the police arrived to make an arrest. When the police finally arrived, one of the officers hand-cuffed the man... and then realized that he was unresponsive and bloody. Later a Walmart spokesperson said "No amount of merchandise is worth someone's life. Associates are trained to disengage from situations that would put themselves or others at risk." Obviously not!
This is just another perfect example of why Black Friday should not exist!

Victoria's Secret Mocking Native Americans?
At the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show models were wearing "sexy" clothing reflecting Native Americans and Cowboys. One outfit worn by model Karlie Kloss was a Native American headdress that was meant to represent the month of November but sadly ended up offending Native Americans and many others.
"We have gone through the atrocities to survive and ensure our way of life continues," Navajo Nation spokesman Erny Zah has stated in an interview recently. "Any mockery, whether it's Halloween, Victoria's Secret- they are spitting on us. they are spitting on our culture, and it's upsetting."
So obviously Victoria's Secret was obliged to apologize - "We sincerely apologize as we absolutely had no intention to offend anyone," They have also said they will not show the outfit in future broadcasts.
However this was a learning experience for some, and not for others who disagreed and think no apology was necessary. Everyone that did agree learned that it is always a horrible idea to wear a Native American headdress...

Wild, Man-Eating Leopard Roaming Free
An acclaimed "Man-Eating" leopard is running loose through Nepal. It is said that the Leopard has so far killed and "devoured" 15 people, 10 of which were children. The most recent attack was dealing with a 4-year-old, who was snatched from his yard. Later authorities found his head in the forest... gross right!?
Local authorities believe that it is possible that multiple leopards or other ferocious animals are behind these attacks. Maheshwor Dhakal an ecologist in Kathmandu has presented a theory: "Since human blood has more salt than animal blood, once wild animals get the taste of salty blood they do not like other animals like deer," So this Leopard is on the loose murdering humans for their blood!
25,000 rupees or $280 reward offered to whomever captures the animal dead or alive.
