Or any new IKEA in the UK. Or Hillsborough Stadium.

I see your point, but that isn't quite the same.

The police and the stadium staff were at fault for letting the extra Liverpool fans in, not quite the same as greedily spying a HDTV with 13% off and stampeding to get there not caring what gets in your way. I'm surprised no Liverpool fans have called you up on this yet.

Even compairing this to hillsborough screams of Ignorance as that was a completely different tradegy.

Walmart should still be held accountable for not putting adequate safeguards in to prevent stampedes - like hiring lots of extra security staff during the holiday season, or building ticket barriers in for use during sales like this.

Lots of poorly controlled people trying to get something they want? The only difference is the location. And to any Liverpool supporters who wish to complain, I only have one word for them: Heysel. Don't be expecting sympathy when your supporters caused the deaths of 39 Juventus supporters.

So, for instance you wouldn't feel sorry for the Germans if someone blew up an airport or something killing thousands, because of the 2nd World War? I hope you are capable of realising that just because some members of a group caused an atrocity, the responsibilty doesn't pass onto every other member of that group. I mean, do you feel responsible for the slave trade?

Similar things happened here when they opened primark in Oxford street the place was backed to the brim with shoppers, someone could easily have been killed.

Yeah, I've been in a few primarks. Each time I really wanted to kill myself.

To this date, there has been absolutely no sign of apology from the fans or the club, yet as soon as anyone DARES to mention Hillsborough, they demand public apologies and go into a general strop. The club won't even acknowledge the event.

Spot on MCN, it wasn't like there was a minutes silence before the match when the two clubs next met in Europe or anything. And strawberry float knows there certainly wasn't a mosiac displayed on the Kop of both clubs crests, Ian Rush and Phil Neal didn't carry placards emblazoned with the words Memoria e Amicizia - In Memory and Friendship across the stadium and the christian names of those that died were not printed in the match programme. You absolute strawberry floating weapon.

Well, not only have you got your facts wrong apparantly, but you've also spectacularly missed my point or chosen to sidestep it. I'm challenging your bizarre logic, not whether Liverpool have apologised for something or not (which they apparantly have). Try addressing the point.
