It is widely accepted that Black Friday can bring out the worst in people, and this weekend, a video has surfaced that shows even children aren’t safe in midst of the frenzy.
In a video that has been circulating on the internet, a group of aggressive shoppers are shown shoving and tripping over themselves to get to a stack of vegetable steamers.
Things take an unexpected turn when a woman in a red coat comes up to a young boy and literally rips a discounted steamer out of the child’s arms. A woman who is presumably the his mother jumps in and says, “Give me that box!” before confronting the disgruntled shopper.
That is when the assailant decides to play victim and begins screaming, “Why are you being so aggressive?! You’re scaring me,” to the woman attempting to retrieve the box from her.
The video was allegedly taken by an employee from the store, who posted it anonymously. Yet many are so taken aback by how outrageous the shoppers are behaving there is growing speculation that the incident may have been staged.
“I feel like this is fake and somehow Jimmy Kimmel is behind it,” one skeptic commented on YouTube.
Check out the clip below and decide for yourself.
