Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
This Black Friday, (which began on Thursday), seemed tamer than last year, but a survey of YouTube vids this morning still turned up a few gems.
We begin this compilation of seven videos with what looks like a dogpile on a TV or some other boxed item at a local Walmart. An employee has to put the shoppers in time-out for a moment. Following that is one of several videos we found that show the very long lines some of you waited in last night.
After that, we turned to the national scene for a sampling of the latest films on various fights, crowds and other retail pandemonium. We'll update this post later if any must-see TV shows up.
Scroll down for the embedded videos:

Dogpile for discounts! Extra points for "shopper's crack." Reportedly from a Walmart 12 hours ago.
Huge line at Chandler Fashion Center night at midnight.
We're not sure where in the U.S. this took place, but it's a pretty good crowd fight over $5 headphones. (We saw this first on CBS News before finding the YouTube vid.)
(Above two videos) Massive and sometimes unruly crowds at Victoria's Secret locations.
Scofflaw action at the Woodland Mall in Michigan is shown at the beginning of the this TV news vid.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
