Here is a security cam shot of the perp. Looks pretty shady...
Well, if that's him, we certainly have a problem.
A low life wouldn't know that Apple stores rely mostly on credit and not cash. He would simply think since the Apple store is so popular that it must have loads of cash on hand.
I don't know where you guys are, but here in Palo Alto, at least in our main Apple Store on University Ave., we have cash registers.
Yes, it's a terrible thing to happen and I too hope the young woman injured survives and makes a full recovery.
I would personally tend to agree that this is not a good story to be making light of, but people deal with bad news in different ways. Light-hearted comments/jokes aren't necessarily a sign of people wanting to offend, rather often just a way of dealing with the crazy horrible stuff that goes on in the world, even if that comes across as inappropriate to others.
Exactly. People joke about this, I don't mind.
Starting serious jokes, like "I hope she dies, opening a door like that, what was she thinking!" is a problem, and I'm pretty sure most of us would consider that inappropriate.
The people making jokes need to grow up. Or better yet, banned from macrumors.
Aristotle, like Porco said, people deal with bad news differently.
In this world of hopelessness, and despair, we have no way of lighting this place up.
We can sulk, and hope that she maybe gets better, or we can look at it optimistically. By looking at it optimistically, we hope she gets better, and make a few light-hearted comments.
Anyway, what I find more disturbing is the fact that it appears someone could rate this story as a positive!!!
Positive? That, is the bigger problem.
Personally, if I got shot in a non-lethal manner, I know I would be making a few jokes.
Reminds me when either Fred or George from Harry Potter said:
"See George, I'm holy"
Holy, with a hole in his head, after his ear was blasted off.
is
no tone.
