Black Friday Death At WalMart

A Walmart store's inadequate security for Black Friday, which resulted in an employee being trampled to death has been likened to Gunerica by the NYT.

I agree with Ed Driscoll:

I'd excuse a high school or sophomoric college newspaper journalist making such an overwrought analogy. But if the New York Times and its writers and editors can't see the difference between an unfortunate shopping incident and the Spanish Civil War, one wonders what what value the newspaper has as an information source to be trusted by their readers.
