Great Moments in Consumerism

From Black Friday watch

One shopper was cutting in line at the Sears when he got in a dispute with several other shoppers and punched one man in the face. The man he punched pulled a gun on him — though reports vary on whether he pointed the gun at his assailant or at the ground. One witness said the crowd scattered when the gun was pulled and that the assailant hid behind a refrigerator before fleeing the store.

Hiding behind the steeply discounted fridge takes it to the level of minor masterpiece.
