The Indianapolis Star was at one particularly ugly scene:
"The door broke and was hanging by a hinge and people were squeezing in anyway," Asia Coates said "People were falling down."
She said one woman was knocked down, got back up and was the second person to buy the shoes.
Andre Mitchell, 28, Indianapolis, said he stepped over downed shoppers. "It wasn't personal, it was business," Mitchell explained.

Gimmie them overpriced ugly tacky crappy shoes, or else damm!

$180 dollars for a pair of shoes that were probably made for a dollar in Indonesia, Vietnam, etc.?

Michael Jordan is a fucking disgrace and self-promoting commercial clown, the Donald Trump of basketball.

Americans fighting over shoes.....

Welcome to the United States of Kenya.

Why does people fighting over stuff around Xmas sound so familier?

Oh yeah... this is why!

What's the deal making tennis shoes such an important thing in your life? So important you will fight for them.

NO, it is stupid people.

Anyone who stands in line to buy a pair of Air Jordans should be required to take a microchip implant that flashes "STOOOPID".

Michelle Obama ordered hers on line.

Fought over by the very Wal-Mart "shoppers" that would be the very first peoples to agree with Danni's theories on economics, corporations, and mean people.

Now just how ironic is that shit?

I say would agree with Danni, because many of these "shoppers" likely can't, or don't like to get caught, reading something, especially educational; and therefor likely have never read Danni's blogs or ever even heard of her, and therefor can't know her theories on economics, corporations, and rich mean people.

But I digress, and my comparison rendered meaningless cause the folks it's directed to, can't even read it.

But they do own some damn nice shoes.

And that's a damn shame in itself because learning of Danni would be a profound experience for many of them.

All of these shoppers would love her, I'm sure.

Instead of "Christmas Greetings" it was "Christmas Beatings"----at least this mob paid for the shoes. These people are high on the "stupid meter". Anyone engaging in this behavior obviously is an Obama voter.

A by-product of my job here creates traffic. My methods are learned; my exploits renowned by many.

RCADE greatly benefits by my timely appearances; so he simply lets me.

I know, he knows I know; and that he only chooses to accept folks like me because of our ancillary affects.

Oh the act of buying christmas joy joy joy....

NO, it is stupid people.

So how do you like your new shoes?

Be Well.

Dude, why are you so clueless all the time.

Because you think your above statement is the problem is why this problem is prevalent world wide where ever one half of this equation is present as a constant, the other half is the variable.

....NOPE in 2012...then the unions of the teachers,billions and billions wasted year after year.

Fuck Xmas.

No you mean fuck goats. With names like Andre and Asia I'll bet they was Obama voters, now they can use my money to by their shit, great country. But laws ask for voter ID they claim it's unfair to the poor blacks with no money. maybe the photo ID's can be on a 200 dollar pair of Jordans then they can afford one.

Too bad THEY don't seek gainful employment with such furor. The sheep have two speeds. Graze and stampede.

No, it's the result of people with too much time on their hands.

No it's the result of their up bring and lack of education. It's the you owe me mentality and I'm taking it .no respect laws, and no incentive to work. Cut off the government checks then they will either have work and learn or steal and go to prison, simple.

Okay, we know what the code word "shoppers" really means.

But what's with this word "stampede"? That's a word often used to describe outdoor animals, all acting up at once.

So what else are you trying to say about these "shoppers"? Is it simply your own normally disguised but revealed in writing-type of racism, or a moment of rarely seen, much less noticed, understood, and appreciated, but that's my job, but honest thinking?

Alas, I don't you know. So I won't venture a guess as to which is which.

They think "content of Character" simply means properly storing your shit in a name-brand storage container.

This story and the pics remind of of New Orleans after Katrina.

That's how you know them, by their name-brand storage containers.

And if my words weren't so bitingly accurate, they'd probably be illegal to write.

Instead of just frowned upon by others who otherwise espouse rigid, conclusive positions on many other, controversial topics, without remorse or fear of public scrutiny.

Truth can be defined as what is true. And some truths are self-evident.

But stories like this are a fucking embarrassment to this American. Please, my fellow Americans, clean up your collective acts, whoever you assholes are that made us all look like fucking morons on banana-Republic diets.

Stop the mob, lowest common denominator mentality and behavior, then you might expect to be treated as equals amongst Men.

The truth hurts, but there it is in black and white.

"stories like this are a fucking embarrassment"

That's why I posted it.
Did get a 'kick' out of Goatman's rocksalt post, though.
Instead of pepper spray an airsoft chain gun would have been more fun.

P. T. Barnum had it right-"A sucker born every minute."

The MSM is blaming the riots around the country on the shoe. Like the shoe caused the riots!?

Really?

It had nothing to do with people doing the rioting, who all seem to belong to a culture of vanity and self-indulgence?

Not that?

It's embarrassing. Grow up, you fucking neanderthals.

How dare you?
FLAG: needs to apologize to neanderthals!

Since they roam around, I call them Meanderthals...

A slave mentality is one that is focused on shoes, but the mind made manacles in inner city culture will not let people escape even with a pair of $180 Air Jordans.

Frequently Wise Thom

Escape? Those mind-made manacles are so strong they won't even let you learn to read, out of fear becoming inauthentic.

I think the fear of acting white must have a paralyzing affect, on the Left side of the brain.

Escape? This is the very reason why only 3 jobs exist for most blacks; sports, music/acting/politics, or drug dealing.

Anything else requires acting white. One bizarre fucking quirk of evolution, ain't it?

Think they'll evolve past it?

Imagine a species of bird; with a sub-species, one black and one white.

The black birds so avoided everything white-ness, that they eventually refused to fly like whites too.

Even though the black birds become easy prey for almost any head-wind, proudly and smugly refusing to flap their wings, they mostly all plummet to early deaths.

You'd call that bizarre, right?

I think the human case even more so. But that's just me.

$180. sneakers yet Nike just can't afford to make them here cuz our workers make too much money, Nike would be left with only 100% or 200% profit margin. Greedy corporations ruining America, stupid Americans buying unnecessary imported crap are making it easy for them to do it.
Maybe America deserves to be poor.

no wonder madison avenue can manipualate us

Speak for yourself and your fellow idiots, SUZY.

Maybe America deserves to be poor.

How is it the "evil" corporations fault? Did they tell them to act like animals? Can't you ever say that people are responsible for their own action.

what's the demographic for stampeding for a pair of tennis shoes?

It's hatefull thinking like yours that keeps feedig peoples anger to act out. If you calling someone biggoted things then they will only react to show you what you think. If we treat each other with dignity then it will work both ways. Next time you get the urge to put down ones race put yourself in that person shoes and see how you feel!
