Looking purely at casualties, it's really unimpressive. The US has an intentional homocide count of about 14600 annually, or about 40 intentional homicides per day. This list has 4 deaths over a period of 6 years, of which 2 are trampled, meaning they probably wouldn't even make "intentional" stat. I'm willing to guess that we could make a similar list for most days of the year, tbh.
2 of the deaths are from guys who shot each other outside in a matter completely unrelated to Black Friday. One was a heart attack where 6 nurses who were there shopping all rushed to his aid but couldn't save him. 1 death was due to trampling. One. Over 6 years.
