I’m thinking some of those in the crowd willing to pay $180 for a pair of shoes probably aren’t needing their government assistance so much.

[albie]

Most will be double p.o.’d when the repo man comes fo day Mercedes.

[SamAdams76]

Well at least none of them are on government assistance. For if they can afford $200 for a pair of sneakers, they must be prosperous indeed!

[hinckley buzzard]

Is the veneer of civilization very thin?????

Obviously, in some places it is worn clean through. But yes, it is thin at best. We are never far from the jungle.

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

Thank you so much! I love those flash mob viddies ;)

Merry Christmas!

[Gator113]

Thank you for posting that.

I love those kinds of “Flash Mobs”. That other trash makes me ill.

[derllak]

Love where the guy says “I had to jump over a girl.”

Never occurred to him to help her up?

These people are worse than animals!

[hal ogen]

So many of these feral bums get various entitlements/handouts and programs that they have money to buy $200 shoes. Feral. Merry Christmas, you losers.

[onedoug]

Evidently capitalists after some fashion.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Our high-end suburban mall was infested with two hundred specimens of that exact guy (and his Hispanic equivalent) yesterday. I’m still not sure how they managed to find their way out here. :)

[Publius6961]

Those Amish and crackers, you can always expect them to act like animals. Why didn't they have the national guard at those stores to maintain public safety?

[DJlaysitup]

One person was arrested and charged with resisting arrest, a police spokesperson said.

...am I missing something here?

[Publius6961]

...am I missing something here?

You mean other than a sense of compassion for the underprivileged?

“Holder’s people or Amish people?”

In Atlanta it was Holder’s people.

[wac3rd]

This article is about Charlotte, NC...I was referring to Atlanta (see Drudge)

[chris_bdba]

The amazing thing to me was one could go online to the finish line and find them for sale there.Why go to the trouble?

[Moose4]

I’ve seen video footage so far from Indianapolis (two malls), Charlotte, Atlanta, and Houston, and every single one was 100% Holder’s People. No “diversity” there whatsoever.
