Jesus Would Be So Proud of Us!

So most of us could barely get our turkey digested in our guts following the Thanksgiving feast but yet we had to run to the stores to start shopping for Jesus' birthday...and what a shopping day it was!!  Pepper spraying, fist fights, stampedes, riots and anarchy ruled the day as people looked to save money and buy more crap that most of us don't need....all in the name of Jesus?

The start of the US holiday shopping season was marred by shootings and pepper-sprayings as bargain-hunters stampeded stores.

The violence gave a whole new meaning to Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving when many retailers move out of the red and into the black.

The incidents, including at least two robberies, mostly took place at branches of the store chain Walmart.

Half of the entire US population is expected to hit the shops this weekend.

Many stores had crowds rushing in as they opened at midnight - several hours earlier than they usually do - on the busiest shopping day of the year.

  • A man was reportedly detained for resisting arrest after a fight at the jewellery counter in the early hours at a Walmart in Kissimmee, Florida


  • Police are looking for two suspects after gunfire erupted early on Friday at a shopping centre in Fayetteville, North Carolina; there were no reports of injuries


  • Security workers reportedly used pepper spray on shoppers who began grabbing at goods before they were unloaded from pallets at a Walmart in Kinston, North Carolina


  • A woman was shot in the foot by a robber as she loaded her purchases into her car in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; the gunman fled as one of the victim's companions brandished a revolver and fired warning shots

    Let's remember that when Jesus was here He didn't own anything.  This appears to be one other example of how Satan has perverted the birth of our Savior by turning it into a feeding frenzy of gift buying for people...most of whom probably don't even know who Jesus truly is.
