Some Metro Detroiters Wait In Line Outside For A Week In Every Kind Of Weather For New Air Jordans

ROYAL OAK (CBS Detroit) Metro Detroit has experienced every kind of weather since early Monday — with bouts of heat, humidity and torrents of rain. Few people got the kind of up close and personal view of the weather as the dozen or so young men settled into camp chairs outside sneaker emporium Burn Rubber in downtown Royal Oak. Some have been there since Monday, waiting for a chance to buy commemorative Air Jordan sneakers. They’ll be released Saturday. There’s no guarantee the store will get more than a few pairs, or what size will arrive.

waiting in line for a week? What if they have to go to the bathroom?

[x1stcav]

And to think, these people are allowed to vote!

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Will Chum Lee be there?

“What if they have to go to the bathroom?”

There are not enough cops to bust people and charge them with public indecency for urinating or defecating out in the open.

Bet the lines would be shorter if they announced that the City, County, and State Tax collectors would be there to check their records against personal identifications of buyers.
“Hey! Deal with it”—Uncle Si

Another stupid question I have: are these guys going to miss work for a week to wait in line for these shoes? Did their bosses give them the week off so they can do this?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

At Burning Rubber, it actually means...

Extra Big Toes

Uh, this is in Royal Oak. Plenty of cops there.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’ll bet the union “workers” are right there with them registering them to vote for the communist DemocRATS. Nike sneaker lines are a great place to find the low to no information types of all ages.

[P-Marlowe]

What if they have to go to the bathroom?

Have you been to Detroit lately?

[MeshugeMikey]

GOT to have my Nike BLING Yall!!!

[Antihero101607]

disregard then. I will admit that I didn’t read the article and shot my mouth off.

[Fresh Wind]

Good thing the government pays them more to do nothing than they would make at a job.

That way, they have the money to buy the shoes, and the time to wait in line for them.

Isn’t socialism wonderful?

[FourPeas]

Thurmand explained he wasn’t worried about getting to work because, he said laughingly, “This is my job.”

And he can afford $250 shoes? 28 year old man living in Detroit with no job -- what are the odds he's independently wealthy?

“Obama have already Got his New “AIRS”... SIgn here so you can get yo NEX PAIR FREE!!!”

[MeshugeMikey]

dont axe!
