SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A man collapsed while doing some Black Friday shopping in a crowded store, and people nearby continued to shop. Witnesses tell WSAZ.com some shoppers walked around and even over the man's body. Family members tell WSAZ.com that Walter Vance, of Logan County, W.Va., passed away after being taken to the hospital. It happened at Target in the Southridge Shopping Center in South Charleston about 12:15 a.m. Friday. Vance got sick and collapsed on the floor while shopping for Christmas decorations for his newly remodeled workplace. Vance started working at the Aracoma Drug Company store in Logan when he was 16. He liked it so much, he went to pharmacy school at WVU and has worked there ever since. He started a new Aracoma Drug Company store in Chapmanville and had co-owned it since the 70's. Vance was 61 years old. Friends say he's has had heart problems for years and had open heart surgery in 2000, but his death came as a shock, and what happened in the final moments of his life only adds to the heartbreak. "Where is the good Samaritan side of people?” Vance’s co-worker and friend Sue Compton said. “How could you not notice someone was in trouble? I just don't understand if people didn't help what their reason was, other than greed because of a sale." One of the late night shoppers tells WSAZ.com what really disturbs her about the situation was the lack of concern by the rest of the shoppers. An E.R. nurse happened to be one of the late night shoppers and tried to administer CPR. She and an off-duty paramedic who was also shopping did try to help Vance while he was on the floor. An ambulance was called to the store. Vance was taken to the hospital, but later died. WSAZ.com called Target Friday. So far, they haven't released a statement about what happened.

Hm, are the nice enough homes transacting in ordos? Answer, yes. Will the homes be occupied? Yes. Did the speculators lose money? Yes. Did the developers lose money? Possibly. Is this how you conduct your own RE development business? Build to lose money and sell at a 60% loss to some lucky mine worker? Think the loss of those savings (on the part of the sellers) isn't going to have a major impact on Chinese consumer confidence? As for the articles on Black Friday, absolutely disgusting.. That's why I avoided the crowds at all costs.. I think it was overly hyped.. I went into the local mall during the early evening yesterday and hardly anyone was there. Makes me wonder if the US consumer shot their wad, but we'll see.. Either way, get ready for a stronger US Dollar, and deflating commodity prices for awhile.. At least until something gets stabilized in Europe. We're going to be in the midst of a general liquidation as the global (European) banks deleverage to support their balance sheets. Hawk
