I’ve read stories, over the years, of ghetto thugs killing each other to get the pair the other guy was wearing. And other stories of people getting trampled to death, in a stampede, trying to get into a store to buy limited pairs of them.

Key phrase: ghetto thugs (of all stripes).

Robbing the typical folks who line up for sneakers is close to robbing a gun shop!

>>, I would be very leery about a person that shoots a person in a matter-of-fact fashion.<<

When you live where human life isn’t highly prized, it is easy to dismiss a solitary death. Remember that the robber disrespected these people. That is a cardinal sin in their neighborhood.

Yes, but shooting a person is not something that a person with a conscience should be so desensitized about. Getting back in line like it's no big deal, is not what a normal human should/could be expected to do. Shooting a person, no matter the cause, is not like swatting a fly or squishing a bug, where you can just go on about your life with nothing to bother your conscience about.

It only shows a snippet, but it looks like thug was running away when he was shot.
The way the shooter whipped around and started shooting gives me tne impression this ain’t his first rodeo.
I find it hard to believe the shooter wasn’t detained for questioning but was allowed to remain in line. Wonder whose son he is?
And who isn’t carrying a gun on Moreland?

Thanks Marktwain, that needed to be set right.

Some lack the mental horsepower needed to understand the difference between free market capitalism and criminal behavior.

I gather from the story that just about everybody in line attested for the shooter, and when you get a whole crowd in agreement, the cops tend to believe it as well.

My guess is that the shooter wasn’t arrested because the cops knew the robber as somebody with a long and violent criminal history. They were probably glad to see him go down.

Ask the young Black teenagers from Chicago or Philly what they think about witnessing a shooting. Most of them wouldn’t bother to take a picture of the body.
