Violence marred Black Friday shopping in at least five states, including a California incident in which police say a woman doused fellow shoppers with pepper spray in a bid to cut to the head of the line.

The incident happened at a Walmart in the Porter Ranch area of Los Angeles, police spokesman Officer Robert Chavira said.

About 15 people were exposed to the spray. Los Angeles firefighters treated them at the scene and no one required hospitalization, Chavira said.

The woman was able to pay for her purchases and leave the store before police arrived, Chavira said.

people just keep getting worst

Black friday is the haven of all idiocy on this planet.

as much as I love to see how stupid people act it depresses me to see that people will sink down that low just to save a few bucks.

In a lot of stores the "deals" are just the same price shifted around. Instead of 20 dollars per pair of pants, it's 60 dollars for a pair of pants AND TWO FREE!!!

As long as people are spending large amounts of money for Black Friday i'm excited. So what if a couple people get pepper sprayed or vacuum's thrown at their head? Spend money!

Day after Thanksgiving, it's the day when all the Christmas sales start.

in a nutshell, it's the day after Thanksgiving when pretty much all the shops have "door-buster" deals to kick off the first "official" day of Christmas shopping season.

I was wondering this too, having seen it from UK Amazon and other shops and never in past years.

If you're Canadian, consider it like our Boxing Day.

Canadian? I take offence to that! But yes we have Boxing Day in Britain (probably where you guys get it from), I don't recall things getting crazy then but then I don't shop much at all.

Pfft...Black Friday is great for people watching. The secret to a good Black Friday is toasting with Irish coffee while waiting outside with friends.

Old Navy...Check
Target...Check (Those commercials this year were terrible.)
Best Buy...Check
Walmart...Walked out (Okay...So I did lose my ***with the behavior in there, but...)

I had to drop my car off at a dealership to get fixed this morning at 7:00 so while waiting me and my sibling wanted to try out this black Friday thing.

Albeit we were like 3 hours late..but whatev

it wasn't too bad. I didn't go to walmart. Went to the mall and target and a shoe store.

it would have been more fun but I suck at shopping 8(

I got myself some pants and a sweater, I didn't even christmas shop for anybody else.

I make it a point to not leave the house on Black Friday... I also try my damnedest to never go out on the evening before a major holiday. I'll go out the day-of if needed, it's usually not even half as busy as it was the night before.

Now if we could have a moment of silence for my wife, who is in retail and is working today.. D:
