I can't stop laughing. I saw this story on Slashdot first, then from the brief introduction describing what had happened I got a hunch that it must have been niggers, because the things listed were just way too wild for any humans. The moment I clicked on the CNN story I immediately realized I was right. I didn't look closely, but I didn't see any comment mentioning the real reason it happened but instead bitched about the low price (the extra-low price is another hint at who were the targeted receipients)
RICHMOND, Virginia (AP) -- A rush to purchase $50 used laptops turned into a violent stampede Tuesday, with people getting thrown to the pavement, beaten with a folding chair and nearly driven over. One woman went so far to wet herself rather than surrender her place in line.
"This is total, total chaos," said Latoya Jones, 19, who lost one of her flip-flops in the ordeal and later limped around on the sizzling blacktop with one foot bare.
More than 1,000 people turned out at the Richmond International Raceway in hopes of getting their hands on one of the 4-year-old Apple iBooks, which retail for between $999 and $1,299. The Henrico County school system was selling 1,000 of the computers to county residents.
Officials opened the gates at 7 a.m., but some already had been waiting for hours in line. When the gates opened, it became a terrifying mob scene.
People threw themselves forward, screaming and pushing each other. A little girl's stroller was crushed in the stampede. Witnesses said an elderly man was thrown to the pavement, and someone in a car tried to drive his way through the crowd.
Police would not immediately comment on the number of or extent of injuries, though witnesses said they mostly had scrapes and bruises.
"It's rather strange that we would have such a tremendous response for the purchase of a laptop computer -- and laptop computers that probably have less-than- desirable attributes," said Paul Proto, director of general services for Henrico County. "But I think that people tend to get caught up in the excitement of the event -- it almost has an entertainment value."
Blandine Alexander, 33, said one woman standing in front of her was so desperate to retain her place in line that she urinated on herself.
"I've never been in something like that before, and I never again will," said Alexander, who brought her 14-year-old twin boys to the complex at 4:30 a.m. to wait in line. "No matter what the kids want, I already told them I'm not doing that again."
Jesse Sandler said he was one of the people pushing forward, using a folding chair he had brought with him to beat back people who tried to cut in front of him.
"I took my chair here and I threw it over my shoulder and I went, 'Bam,"' the 20-year-old said nonchalantly, his eyes glued to the screen of his new iBook, as he tapped away on the keyboard at a testing station.
"They were getting in front of me and I was there a lot earlier than them, so I thought that it was just," he said.

What the hell were they going to do with the computers anyway?
Is there some Inner City Computer Programmers Association that I don't know about?

Well, consider that these were 50 dollar computers. Provided the buyer could come up with that much, they probably had thoughts of hawking them for a few hundred, or whatever they could get.
You've heard of ebonics, this is ebonomics.

[QUOTE=xmetalhead]What the hell were they going to do with the computers anyway?[/QUOTE] The laptops are 4-year-old Apple Powerbooks. I don't think you can play Grand Theft Auto on those. Oh well, they'll just have to continue playing the real-life version. :wink:

In other words, niggas started cutting in line and people who had been waiting an hour didn't llike it. It aint about the laptop, it is about respect, nigga.

This school population is about 60% black.
Another case of incompetent public officials. They should have known this would be a big mess, with thousands more minorities than laptops.
Here are some things they could have done:
1) Raise the price of the laptop to market value. This would have reduced demand. If they can afford to give away laptops at way below value, then maybe they have so much money that they should have their funding cut.
2) Restrict who qualifies for the laptops. Give first choice to local school students, maybe of a particular grade.
3) Use a lottery system so no one would feel the need to push.
4) Pass out tickets before opening the gate. This works very well at Best Buy, the morning after Thanksgiving.
5) Keep the laptops and continue to use them in the school. This would have saved the school a lot of money and I'm sure like all black school districts (money pits to white taxpayers), they're always complaining that they don't have enough money.

She's got 14 year old twins at age 33? Getting her prego on at age 18, yep, that sounds about right. God, we're being out-bred at every turn.

jumping sambos batman! i just now read this, man this is a perfect example of why we need more cargo ships. they dont really need to be sea-worthy, just able to float long enough while carrying a few thousand simians each, beyond the horizon.

Where is the national guard to help control these savages? :tank:
As everyone has indicated, the stampede of obese savages in the USA is quite embarassing and depressing.

this type of subhumanoid behavior is the logical result of mass democracy. the description 'monkeys pissing on themselves' is actually scientifically valid. there is really no difference between these people and pre-human beasties. incidents such as these, displaying the mass-psychosis of the internationalized mob, will increasingly take place in America and the modern world. our politics is already nothing but ritualistic mob-appeasement. the collectivized anthropoid is inherently irrational, dangerous, and psychotic. in previous sane civilizations and cycles those beast-men incapable of rational goal-setting and dignified self-mastery were either destroyed, enslaved, or at least rigidly segregated and thrust in the lowest castes where they would do the least harm. unfortunately, most 'white' people today are spiritually of the same status as these debased, mindless fetishists. (that is why 'white nationalism' is a failure: promiscuously embracing the most mediocre persons just because they appear superficially white is an effeminated and dysgenic idea, and is an outgrowth of decadent modernist politics. why not link up tactically with legitimate representatives of Traditional/Conservative-Revolutionary ideology from all worthy ethnic stocks instead?)
