LITHONIA, Ga. - The quest for some limited edition sneakers took an ugly turn early Friday morning outside the Mall at Stonecrest in Lithonia.

Please don’t use ‘sneakers’ and ‘ugly’ in the same sentence.

It hurts my feelings.

Lack of street cred (evidently bestowed instantly by having these shoes) is a terrible thing in ‘da hood. Terrible!

The children -- a 5-year-old and a 1-year-old -- have been released to the woman's family and are ok.
LOL ... suuuuure they are.

Next thing you know, the Amish are going to kill each other in the pastures over a pair of Converse Chuck Taylors.

I have never been to this mall, despite having driven past it many times to visit friends who live well east of town.

I am unlikely to change that.

..after a large crowd apparently made an illegal entry into the mall, breaking down the door.

If these animals will do this for shoes is there any doubt as to how they will behave WTSHTF?

Would it be too obvious to say that a culture that places more social respect on footwear than on education is destined to failure?

Well there was a recent article about why there were so few blacks at Occupy.

Apparently if they are expected to camp outside on a sidewalk in the cold, there better be some damn nice shoes available at the end!

Since when did it become child endangerment leaving kids in a locked car in the middle of winter? In July, I can see, but in December?
