On Thanksgiving, the majority of Americans spend time with family and other loved ones. During this time, people feast, give thanks, and remember all their blessings in life. Now, in the best of worlds, this thankful spirit would last for at least 24 hours, but sadly, this is not the case for so many people.
The Friday after Thanksgiving is officially and widely recognized as Black Friday. Black Friday is one of the best times to hit stores for various discounts, an option which many Americans choose to exercise.
While there’s nothing inherently wrong with shopping on Black Friday, fighting in stores over items is about as sad and classless as it gets. Nevertheless, a series of fights have taken place in stores across America today; this is so prevalent that “#BlackFridayFights” is actually trending on social media.
