Indian thendis were there too ...
"... thousands showed up at the Richmond International Raceway to purchase $50 used laptops (i-Books). The Henrico County school system was selling 1,000 of the 4-year-old Apple iBooks to county residents."
Wow!! Now isn't tat a great deal? But how far would you go to get yourself one??
Okay ... so people found out about it and there were more than 5000 people at the grounds. Some of them camping from 3 AM.
But some dumb official sees the crowd and decides to prepone the 9AM opening time to 7AM. What happens next??
"Mothers clutched their children for protection, people screamed as they were knocked to the ground, a stroller was demolished, cars inched through the crowd."
"In the crush, people were trampled on, a chair was thrown, an elderly man was pushed to the ground, a baby's buggy was crushed and one desperate buyer tried to drive his car through the crowd."
It was shocking to read some of the accounts from people. Here at work, I even heard one of the Indian guy give his first-hand experience. He backed out on seeing the crazy mob.
Anyways, now since I am in the Henrico county ... I am sure that atleast 30% of this county is filled with Indians. Now an Indian by his genetic nature is a THENDI! Yeah, I don't care if an elderly parent reads this or not ... but we are all THENDI's in nature. We look for the cheapest way to live our lives. I don't know if any other word summarizes this trait of ours ... if there is ... let me know & I'll use that word ...
Coming back to the point ... so after this happened I was poking around online for photos of this incident, just to see if there were Indians. And YES!! I found a picture ... and there were Indians in it.
Now this picture was clicked as soon as the gates opened. So the people you see are the first ones to get through out of the crowd of 5500 or so. So in other words this is where it all started! I circled the Indians in red. The people already on the ground, I circled in green.
How far do we go to get something that we so badly need?
