The AP is reporting a fight broke out in the Tazewell, VA Walmart parking lot. The TD’s lede reads like a Black Friday nightmare, which entertains the hell out of me:
TAZEWELL — A dispute in a rural Southwest Virginia Wal-Mart parking lot crowded with holiday shoppers turned violent, with one person throwing a punch and another responding by cutting the man with a knife and brandishing a rifle.
Both men were charged Thursday after the altercation in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart in Tazewell County that sent panicked shoppers scattering, the sheriff’s office said Friday.
Christopher Jackson, 35, was waiting for another shopper to leave a parking space when Ronnie Sharp, 61, began sounding his horn behind Jackson’s vehicle, the sheriff’s office said.
Luckily both men were arrested and released on $5K bond so they could spend the rest of this lovely holiday with their families.
Yes, it was just another Black Friday, and while total numbers for crimes committed in the name of savings are still coming in, here’s a few highlights from around the country:

And here’s a reasonable exchange between two people at a Target.
