Remember last Black Friday with mobs getting into fights, pepper-spraying and such?

The thuggery has started already.

SOUTH SACRAMENTO -

A shopper threatened to stab people while in line for K-Mart doorbuster deals in South Sacramento.

A line of hundreds had started wrapping the building on Stockton Boulevard since 2 a.m.

Once people came out to give vouchers, the crowds began yelling, cutting and screaming obscenities. That’s when one man threatened to stab others. They laughed, but he said he wasn’t joking. The people entered the store without any problems.

Officers arrived to cheers a little after K-Mart doors opened at 6 a.m. They said there should have been security to control the mob.

No lines or anything.

I went in yesterday to check on gold prices, but they were too high at 70%.

95% I just might buy the entire inventory if they are looking to liquidate 'em.

except on Black Friday I guess.
it's in a very upscale nice giant strip mall.
I don't go there to shop but have been to other stores in that mall.
When I heard it was that WM where the spraying lady struck I was shocked, and yet not so much....
