Assholes that are filming the fight instead of trying to break them up or calling the cops.... smh

What do you expect? Black Friday is barely considered a holiday here; we have 1/8th the population, and most people still work that day. So not really a big deal.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Meh. I'd probably stay out of it too. I'm not getting stabbed/shot/injured trying to break up idiots fighting over a TV or something.

Canada has Boxing Day which is more traditionally like Black Friday, but even on Boxing Day you don't see full on fist fights anywhere. But even in Canada Black Friday is becoming a bigger deal too.

lol, yes I realized the pun after I typed it. Boxing Day is a British thing apparently, they do it in Canada, basically it's Black Friday, but it's on Dec. 26th, so the day after Christmas stores put up huge sales on things namely merchandise they haven't been able to move through Christmas. So it's kinda a similar thing, people eat their turkey dinner, and then some people go to line up for Boxing Day. 

I've lived in both country's, it's a night and day difference though with how people behave.

Holy shit at the grown woman taking the box right out of the little kid's arms, laugh my ass off.

You will never see stuff like this in Canada or Europe, not even on Boxing Day.

I don't get why people ever suggest breaking them up. All that offers is a chance for you to get beat up or even the police arresting you for being in the fight.

Maybe it's my naivety for living in a country where the police isn't completely fucked up, but you wouldn't get arrested for breaking up a fight in Norway at least. But then again, you also wouldn't get shot because you reach towards your pocket to pick out your drivers licence during a traffic stop.
