Think about it: 200 cops had to go out and keep a crowd of thugs WHO PROBABLY DO NOT PAY TAXES from destroying private property.

We need a big time change in our culture.

If people are going to riot and kill each other, you’d want it to be for a better cause than this....

Amish?

[brivette]

those fighting amish...

Pathetic isn’t it?

I’m actually glad I grew up poor and independent. I just don’t have the desperate need for crap like $200 shoes. I paid $12 for the ones I’m wearing.

The $220 purple and blue sneakers are made from an extra-durable material and glow in the dark.

Makes it really easy to catch the perps in the dark.................

This is why Obama travelled to Orlando yesterday.

He wanted to be the first in the White House to sport the new ghetto kicks.

Gotta spend those guberment checks somewhere. There’s just so much money you can spend at the nail salon.

[Da Coyote]

Let me guess.

Another look into the minds of a class of people who have their sense of worth defined by a pair of shoes.

Aids in target accusation.

We went to the Florida Mall about a month ago because my son wanted to check out the H & M store. I have never felt like such a foreigner in my own Country. I highly recommend people stay away from the place and if you're a tourist, stay away from that side of Orlando.

[faucetman]

For those like me who never go to “the mall”.....

Hennes & Mauritz, later abbreviated to H&M.

[junta]

Democratic voters, but then again we have a class of conservatives whose job it is is to never ever mention that fact.

[faucetman]

Priorities man! What is more important, raising the kids you fathered or the latest coolest Nikes?

[Joe Brower]

Yet another paragraph in the long ugly story of a populace that knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

It would be interesting know how many of the 1000 rioters are deemed poor by government standards and are making the purchases with welfare income?

What are the odds that the crowd members voted for and will vote again for obama?

[DuncanWaring]

Imagine what this group will be like if it’s food they’re wanting, not shoes.

[Rockingham]

This is directly connected to the pathology of the urban underclass and indirectly connected with the NBA All Star Game, which is this weekend in Orlando. Nike announced that, in honor of the game, a limited number of a special edition shoe would be available at the store.

Naturally, the announcement drew a crowd of mostly minority urban males with criminal records and an acquisitive frame of mind. As is common with gatherings of such crowds, the result was chaotic and dangerous. Serenely and smugly above it all is Nike's marketing team, which knows who it is selling to and no doubt privately scores this as a win.

Wait a couple of years and buy them gently used in the thrift store.
