I thought the CHinese had already come out with their own fake version of the Iphone 4, 4S and even 5, right?? What is the big deal, why fight over an Iphone??

Sigh. More proof that human intelligence is going down the tube.

why fight over an Iphone

Because some people would like the original and not a copy.

Just like here in Japan, several years ago, me and my friend would comb several stores just to look for PlayStation controllers that are made in Japan, not Korea or Malaysia (which have been very common).

Throw in some mace and indiscriminate gunfire and it sounds like American holiday shopping. Who says the two countries can't find common ground?

The management were stupid not to form a line when they first started noticing people queuing up the night before (which should've been expected), like they do in other Apple Stores launches. And not planning for extra security to enforce order from the start.

This still begs the question: Why were people queuing carrying eggs in the first place?

eggs? someone came along with those well after the store failed to open. Crazy stuff, they should have gone down the road and gotten a Galaxy Nexus.
