Customers injured in crush suing Walmart

I’m on the fence about this one.  On the one hand, I do think that it is Walmart’s, and all stores’, responsibility to maintain order within their store.

On the other hand, you can’t sue Walmart for people being greedy pricks.  The intensity of the rush of people into that store was likely beyond what Walmart was ready for.  Should they have been ready for it?  I don’t think so.  I think it is perfectly reasonable for the owners of any business of this sort to assume that the people who are going to enter it will be civil and courteous.  I know that that seems outrageous, considering the type of degenerates who shop at Walmart, but the way I see it, thinking that the people who enter your store negatively will set a bad example, and will make people have negative attitudes when entering your store.  I’m thinking of this on an energy scale — negative energy changes the way things occur in nature.  So does positive nature.  It’s all karma/quantum physics stuff, really.

The truth is, there is very little that Walmart could do from preventing a bunch of morons from rushing into a store like that.  I guess they could’ve had armed guards with their guns pointed at everyone, but I think that breaks laws.  So I don’t think that Walmart should be sued.

Thoughts?
