href="http://gizmodo.com/5100474/question-of-the-day-who-is-most-to-blame-for-the-walmart-trampling-incident"recent
poll/a, only 12% of respondents blame Walmart for the tragic a
href="http://gizmodo.com/5099819/walmart-worker-trampled-to-death-by-deal+crazed-black-friday-shoppers"death
of a 34 year old employee/a in the Black Friday rush. But when it comes to lawsuits, money talks.
/p pNaturally, the family of victim Jdimytai Damour is filing a wrongful death lawsuit against
Walmart, the adjacent Green Acres Mall, the company that manages the property and the company in
charge of security. In their view Wamart was "engaged in specific marketing and advertising
techniques to specifically attract a large crowd and create an environment of frenzy and mayhem and
was otherwise careless, reckless and negligent." /p pDespite his 6-5, 270 pound stature, Damour
died of asphyxiation when trampled by the 2000+ shoppers that fled into the store that night. The
amount that the family is suing for has not been disclosed, but I'm sure that they will get what
they ask for. Not that money is much consolation mind youmdash;especially when it appears that the
shoppers involved will most likely get away scot free. [a
