Black Friday sales kicked off early at 6 PM local time on Thursday at a Walmart superstore in Dallas, to the delight of hundreds of shoppers looking to bag themselves a bargain. With prices slashed up to 70 percent, many shoppers rushed to get their hands on a new flat screen TV and other electronics, Black Friday is a tradition which originated in the US and has been replicated overseas. The day, which takes place after the Thanksgiving holiday, is usually the busiest shopping day of the year in the US, with large crowds common. Violence, some of which has resulted in fatalities, has occurred in the past as a result of crowds clamouring to buy items at steep discounts. Black Friday sales in 2015 neared $15 billion in the US, and $3 billion of those sales came from the internet.
