The Henrico County school system probably never expected violence to be the result of a $50 used laptop sale, but that’s exactly what they got when they organized a sale of the used equipment to county residents.
According to MSNBC, 5,500 people showed up today, hoping to score one of the 1,000 $50 laptops. Excitement over the sale lead to one woman apparently wet herself rather than lose her place in line, while another person use the folding chair he had brought with him to beat at the crowd pushing into the crowded center.
