I am all for capitalism, even radically so, but this is ridiculous. A man was trampled to death by consumers looking for deals. Every person who took a step closer to their purchase over his body is responsible and should be prosecuted for murder. So I may be a radical for capitalism, but I am a radical for justice first. The actions of crowds must not go unnoticed because they are complex. Individual responsibility came with every footfall that stomped a miniscule amount of life from that man.

Charles Mackay had it right all those years ago: "Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one!"
