F ootwear brought frenzy to malls in Palm Beach County and across the nation today as police quelled scuffles, unrest and even near-riots among shoppers out to buy the crown jewel of sneakers: the Nike Air Jordan Retro XI.

Officers used pepper spray at the Finish Line store at the Boynton Beach Mall, where some shoppers had tired of waiting in line and began pushing their way into the store. Two people were arrested and a police sergeant taken to Bethesda Memorial Hospital after sustaining injuries to his head and elbows.

"It's a shoe," said Calvin Cannon, a manager at the store. "They were acting like it was the last piece of meat in the world."

Broke the door off at a store in Indianapolis. Had to call the cops at two stores.

The video at one store is brutal. People just trampling those being pushed to the ground.

Yep. I believe that the Godless have won the battle for our culture. They have replaced Him as the source of fulfillment and happiness with the material.

They have pretty much destroyed Europe and now they are close with us.

In the one video, the guy licks the bottom of the shoe. Apparently that is the gangsta thing to do.

Swear to God, the tribes in the middle of the Amazon are a million times more civilized than these cretins.

If they can afford a pair of Air Jordans, then they don’t need ANY assistance from the taxpayers. Get their names and anyone who is on government assistance is instantly and permanently dropped from the rolls. Let them eat their shoes.
