It didn't take long for things to go south when the Roseville Galleria outside of Sacramento opened the floodgates to throngs of punchy Black Friday shoppers last week. After the doors opened at midnight to what must have some unbelievably good deals, several brutal fights broke out in front of a Gamestop store. Of course, one savvy shopper was there to capture the whole thing for YouTube:

Amateur videographer Lawrence Corpus, who must have spent previous Black Fridays at home watching holiday movies like a sane person, told a local CBS affiliate that the brawl was the last thing he expected to see on the biggest shopping day of the year. "It could have easily become a riot," Corpus explained.

The brawl apparently started when one man flung a trash can lid at another man "like a flying saucer," another witness recounted. Police believe the brawl was over a pair of tennis shoes. Adding to the holiday cheer, two other women can be seen trading blows at the beginning of the footage, before two men start attacking a victim near "the jumpy thing" in the middle of the concourse.

The fighting and "intensity" reportedly lasted for fifteen minutes before security showed up. According to CBS13 Sacramento, no one was arrested for the punch-up because everyone bailed before police arrived.

For those keeping score at home, this is the very same suburban Sacramento shopping mall that had to be evacuated a few holiday seasons ago when a flash mob threatened to tear it apart.
