From footage found on social media, several fights have taken place in Walmart stores. Individuals who engaged in this behavior appeared to be squabbling with one another over appliances, electronics, and other items which were on sale and deemed as valuable.
See for yourself:

In another fight, two women can be seen wrestling each other on the ground; apparently, the altercation broke out after one of the women cut in line before the other.

The fights are already being shared across platforms, along with jokes and memes. Some social media users admonished the behavior, noting its utter ridiculousness.
Shop Peacefully or Stay Home
Individuals who cannot handle themselves in public have no business shopping. Wanting to get items on sale is one thing, but all-out brawls in various stores are another matter entirely and speak to a different issue.
In the wake of Black Friday fights, police officers had to go to various malls and stores in order to break things up. Law enforcement also took certain individuals into custody, as a result.
