Towel Frenzy

Walmart

Atlanta, Texas

2011

When talking about how crazy Black Friday gets we have to start with Walmart. Walmart is perhaps the most popular store Black Friday shoppers hit up because Walmart has everything from clothes, to outdoor stuff, to electronics. Walmart is known for already having low prices anyways, so on Black Friday they are probably the lowest. One of their most famous deals on Black Friday are bathroom towels for $1.48 each. Every year they have a huge bin filled with hundreds of towels and they always sell out. Personally, I’m more of a tv guy when it comes to Black Friday but I’m not judging, $1.48 is a pretty darn good price for a towel.

The video below shows an all out towel frenzy going on at a Walmart in Atlanta, Texas. At :11 a man grabs a whole bunch and just chucks them behind him. I guess he’s being a nice guy and helping some other shoppers out. At :39 the same man walks away with like 15 towels. I don’t know who needs 15 towels but you do you dude.

So of course on Black Friday malls are hot spots to go to. You can go to multiple kinds of stores and take care of all your Holiday shopping in a night if you wanted to. I’m not sure how these fights in the video below got started but I definitely know how they end. In the background the guys fight and in the foreground the women fight. It makes since because Black Friday is a family affair since it’s the night of Thanksgiving. The women’s fight though puts the guys fight to shame. At :42 a taser gun gets pulled out. Like I said, I’m not sure what the dispute was in the first place but it did get resolved.

So like we saw in the previous video, girls can get down just as much as guys can. Most often girl fights are more brutal. Not only is there punching but also scratching and hair pulling. If you have ever seen or broken up a girl fight you know what I mean. On Black Friday 2014 in Annapolis Maryland at the Westfield Annapolis Mall a fight broke out at the Victoria’s Secret. I heard ladies’ undies can be expensive so tensions can run very high when there’s deals.

NSFW: Swearing in video

Guy Swings at Cop

Walmart

El Paso, Texas

We’ve already established Walmart is the place to be for Black Friday. I’m sure every year they already have cops in the store for unruly customers that get out of hand. It’s pretty much inevitable that someone is going to get arrested. Usually though cops are pretty lenient on Black Friday as long as you cooperate you won’t get taken downtown. But if you punch a cop in the face like this dude did in the clip below (at :30) you’re definitely going to jail for the night. Was it really worth it for a 48” TV? One thing is for sure he definitely didn’t save any money that Black Friday with all the legal bills he had to pay.

Girl Gets Arrested over a TV

So, speaking of Black Friday shoppers getting arrested in Walmart, I bet you can guess what’s going to happen in this next clip. I’m not sure where this Walmart is exactly but looking at the state badge on the police uniforms I can tell you it’s somewhere in Texas. Who knows, it might even be the same Walmart in El Paso like the previous video. It’s 2013, in the early morning hours of Black Friday and the hot ticket items are 23 inch tv’s and sound bars. It’s an all out frenzy for these things. I can’t make out what their prices are but they got to be good. At :40 is when a lady in white and a lady in black start having a dispute who got the tv first. A Walmart employee tries to intervene but the ladies won’t let go. Two cops get in the mix and it doesn’t end well.

Brawl at the Mall

Vintage Faire Mall

Modesto, California

2016

Sh** went down outside the JC Penny at the Vintage Faire Mall in Modesto California. The video below is of a dozen teenagers all brawling over who knows what. They don’t have shopping bags so I don’t think it was over a deal but someone must of jawed off to someone. There’s like a dozen kids all fighting, it makes a pretty exciting clip. Security takes awhile to show up too. Everyone just stood around filming it with their phones so we got two really good angles of the fight.

WARNING: Video has lots of swearing

Meet me at the Mall, it’s going down

2017

We saved the best for last on this next clip. Have you ever heard the 2006 hit song by Yung Joc called “It’s Going Down”? It’s pretty great, if you haven’t you should Spotify it after your done reading this article. The song is about fighting. The chorus goes “Meet me in the trap it’s going down, Meet me in the mall it’s going down, Meet me in the club it’s going down, Anywhere ya meet me guaranteed to go down.” It’s a pretty amazing song but these guys took the lyrics a little too literally. This fight between two groups of guys turned into a mini riot. People were chucking trash cans and signs at each other. It got intense. At :25 a guy sneaks up behind another guy and sucker punches him. He didn’t even see him coming! The best part is at the end when everyone runs away because the sheriffs arrive.
