Black Friday is obviously nuts, but that clip does include a lot of Russia Today propaganda. .
I'm not saying that people don't do dumb things to get a cheap TV, but that clip of 2016 Black Friday chaos includes, in the crawl at the bottom of the screen, the announcement that the 2014 Sochi Paralympic Games will begin in 100 days.
I hope this doesn't seem like a hack on you for posting it, but that video seems to have been put together to make Americans look crazy.
I find it a testament to the title of the thread that the quibble is over the "2016" part of the title of the clip. If that's removed, then it's an acceptable clip of people getting crazy over material things...which has passed without much commentary.
Brandi Worley, 30, of Darlington, confessed in a “matter-of-fact” demeanor to the killings in a 911 call about 4:30 a.m., said Montgomery County Sheriff Mark Casteel. Casteel said the woman didn’t appear to show remorse on the call, reports CBS affiliate WTTV.
This story is really sad. Posting a GoFundMe for your own funeral expenses . It was the headline when I opened the paper today.
Story appears legit. It is something I'm definitely more inclined to donate to, than recent ones being discussed on CP. Although I do realize more options are available now, that are not as expensive as most funeral homes offer.

So to our more Biblicaly inclined posters, what verses would justify this out of curiosity?
Quote:
A father and son accused of raping a teenage girl over a three-year period and keeping her shackled in a basement have made it clear that they don’t have faith in the law or in the people who practice it.
When they face an Ohio jury as they defend themselves against criminal charges that carry long prison sentences, they will rely on one book: The Bible.
Timothy Ciboro and his son, Esten Ciboro, both of Toledo, are each charged with multiple counts of rape. The trial is scheduled to start this week, months after the girl, who is Timothy Ciboro’s stepdaughter, managed to unshackle herself and escape while her alleged abusers were gone, authorities said.
During a hearing Friday, the Ciboros made the unusual request of having access to the Bible, which they plan to cite as they defend themselves in front of a jury. The Bible, Esten Ciboro told a judge, is “the only law book that truly matters,” the Toledo Blade reported.
“There’s a great deal of strategy in Scripture and I use those strategies in everything I do,” Esten Ciboro told the judge, according to the Toledo Blade’s coverage of the hearing. “It’s a vital part of everything I do.”
Timothy Ciboro said he and his son intend to “use God’s holy word to ask questions, questions that we believe are absolutely vital to our case,” the paper reported.
Lucas County Common Pleas Judge Linda Jennings has decided to allow the two to bring their Bible during the trial, but she told them that they can’t use the book to question witnesses.
