Ah, the Madness of Black Friday

[3113]

I love Black Friday. The day after Thanksgiving when Holiday shopping begins--and all the stores encourage this (and hope for a windfall) by opening their doors way early and having obscene discounts and stocking up on all the must-have-toys....

Which all results in events like this:

A 21-year-old Middleton woman was arrested Thursday night when she threatened other shoppers while waiting in line at the Toys R Us store, 7309 West Towne Way, which opened for Black Friday shopping at 10 p.m., Madison police reported.

Several hundred shoppers were in line just after 10 p.m., when the woman attempted to move to the front of the line, police said. When she was confronted by other shoppers, she made threats to retrieve a gun and shoot the shoppers. No gun was found, and the woman, who was not named, was arrested and taken to the Dane County Jail on a tentative charge of disorderly conduct.

"She's now spending her shopping money to post bond," said Madison Police Sgt. Erik Fuhremann.

Any other Black Friday stories popping up this year?
