Stampeding cattle leaves one dead

It'S amazing what shops and the perspective to buy something can do to people. Having worked in a shopping mall myself for some years - glad it'S over - I can tell you that it turns out the worst in people. They become aggressive, snappy, hickhacking left and right and really turns them all into a herd of detemrined egoists - especially at events like that.

I vaguely remember that a year ago we had something like that at a MediaMarkt as well. If I remember correctly the police needed several "hundertschaften" to safeguard the parking place and regulate the visitors streaming in and out. temporarily they had to close (and these Mediamarkt halls are really noit small). Inside people stood and pressed shoulder to shoulder, and just to raise your arms is a fight.

Not my cup of tea, really. I don't like and avoid crowds in general. the more people, the more irrationality, the less intelligence you see. Not only in this but in almost all contexts, especially politically, obviously.
