Generally everyone who does the shopping during the night does it at midnight or 1AM it seems.

We are normally busy the first hour - 2 hours, and then after that we are pretty dead for the next few hours and then hell breaks loose for the majority of the day.

Looks alright to me numeral wise.

On another note, **** black friday... or at least the in-store part of it. The online sales are legit.

Yeah the in-store part is a nightmare or can be.
I refuse to go out and do any actual shopping during the whole weekend that it is taking place.

My country is embarrassing me tonight.

I guess the one thing that you or we can take solace in is the fact that there are protests and demonstrations going on in all the big cities right now and hopefully this can lead to some change.

I have a feeling a lot of this violence could have been avoided if they added one more black person on the jury.

I mean, they only needed 9 out of 12 members to vote in one direction, and 9 out of the 12 members were white. Even if the vote didn't work out like that, that's how it's going to be assumed.

Unless the verdict would have been different then there would be absolutely no change in the aftermath of the decision.

We've been on a tight budget here at HF. Trying to cut costs and ramp up the ad revenue.

Due to a recent round of cuts, we are no longer using thumbtacks. Instead, this thread will be stapled to the top.

Speaking of which, don't forget to stop by your local Staples® this Black Friday for the best deals on office supplies! Staples - Make More Happen!

That was easy!


(I much prefer the old slogan and the easy button. Sorry Staples.)

The rioters destroying **** are just as scummy as the jury's decision yesterday.

To be fair - unless one has read the 1000+ pages of evidence, it's really hard to make a judgement. I'd like to think there wasn't enough evidence on legal grounds, not on racial ones. But, I don't know.

As to the rioters - way to effect change. That'll get it done. Pathetic.
