On the 28th of November, 2008, crowds began to gather outside the Walmart at the Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream, New York. They had been drawn there by the promise of an unmissable, limited-time Black Friday sale. As dawn approached, the crowd grew and grew until it contained more than 2,000 people. They were there to shop… but before the morning was over the crowd would have destroyed a storefront, killed an innocent man, and contributed to the long and violent history of chaotic Black Friday sales.
