Newsday has been printing a lot of very good articles about the Black Friday stampede that killed Jdimytai Damour, a temporary Wal-Mart employee. They recently published an interview with Leana Lockley, the pregnant woman he protect from the crowd when he was crushed, and today, they have an interview with Jdimytai's mother, Marie Telismond. It is a heartbreaking article. We're glad Newsday is being so diligent about getting this story out there. We think it needs to be shared.

Here's the article. Check out the picture they published with it as well. It really gives you a sense of what it might have been like to be there:

Wal-Mart worker's mom laments loss of only son

The last time Marie Telismond saw her only son was Nov. 14, when he took her to the airport and waited with her until she was checked in for a trip to her native Haiti.

Jdimytai Damour then made sure his mother had safely arrived in Port-au-Prince.

"He called me three times," Telismond said Tuesday morning at her lawyer Andrew Libo's Manhattan office. "He said, 'Mommy, did you come in yet?' "

Damour told his mother that he had gotten a job, but she didn't know that he would be working as a temporary security guard at the Wal-Mart in the Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream.

"He said, 'I just got a job,' but I didn't ask him where," she said.

Damour, 34, who lived with his mother in Rosedale, was trampled to death on Black Friday as shoppers broke down the doors of the store, authorities said.

he Damour family is planning a suit against Wal-Mart, the security firm and Green Acres Mall, according to Libo.

Known as "Jimmy," Damour was a generous man who would give his last dollar to aid a friend, his mother said.

"He liked to help people," Telismond said.
