majority of them voted for, none. Just because they're mostly lower income and minority does NOT automatically mean that they're democrats and Obama supporters. Hate to break it to you, but many lower income and minorities voted for McCain. Your blanket assumption on that is just as bad as the blanket assumption that they were all driving gas guzzlers and had hefty wallets and were just plain greedy.

Secondly, I'm sorry, but I WILL judge them for their horrendous, sickening anti-human behavior. There is NO excuse for doing what they did, none. There is NO EXCUSE for STEPPING OVER a dead man on the floor after BREAKING THE FUCKING DOOR DOWN AT 5 A.M. and then becoming irate, shouting angrily and continuing to shop after being told of the death and told to leave 'cause the store was closing. NO EXCUSE IN THE WORLD. And no, they are not "just like me." NONE of the Obama supporters I know would have ever even considered doing such a thing. Those people were, in the words of one witness, nothing short of "savages." Period. It has nothing whatsoever to do with class status, income, or race. It has to do with your character as a human being. And I hate to say this, but if they HAD been richer and white, I don't think there'd be any threads on here apologizing for their behavior.

Yes, Walpuke bears equal responsibility for their lack of security and crowd control and failure to take other simple measures that most other retailers take in such circumstances (handing out numbers instead of the first come, first served nonsense, etc.) that would have easily prevented this tragedy. But Walpuke's responsibility does not negate the shoppers' responsibility. They share blame equally.
