Good Lord! I know low prices are great and all that, but an actual stampede over a low priced laptop? Here’s a story of a crowd that got seriously ugly in Richmond Virginia when an iBook went on sale for $50.

“What started as a sale turned into a mob scene as thousands of people pushed their way through the Richmond International Raceway gates to buy a $50 iBook laptop computer from Henrico County Schools Tuesday morning.

“An estimated 5,500 people were on hand when the gates were opened. What followed can only be described as chaos as dozens rushed to get to the head of the line. People were trampled, shoved and pushed. Starletta Wilson pointed to her child’s broken stroller, “Yeah, they pushed me, look at my child’s stroller..they actually pushed me and stampeded over me. Those people who are down there now were behind us.”
