Occupy Foot Locker
So while people are dying in a war against their government in Syria, Afghans are rioting over burnt Korans, our troops are fighting our nation’s enemies, bombs rock Iraq, we’re focused on the real important shit here in the US. Namely, Nike sneakers. Consumers rioted in Orlando last night;
Hundreds of people were dispersed from the Foot Locker House of Hoops store after trouble broke out Thursday night in the countdown to the doors opening at midnight, WOFL-TV reported.
Orange County Sheriff deputies on horseback and dressed in riot gear with helmets and plastic shields moved in around 9:45pm local time when things got out of control.
Two people were arrested on a charge of trespassing after being warned to leave the site.
Angry shoppers were turned away in Prince Georges County, MD today;
People waiting in line told FOX 5 that the manager of the store announced to the crowd that the shoe, the new Nike Foamposite Galaxy, would not be sold.
Some people starting lining up two days ago. Overnight, the crowd grew to about 300.
At times, police say they became unruly and ordered them to leave.
Some did go, but about a hundred stayed.
The shoes sell retail for about $220, but bids on them for over a thousand dollars have been spotted on Ebay. I found one pair on Ebay with a “But it now” price of $1700.
So it’s good to see that Americans who are about to pay $5/gallon for gas have their priorities straight.
That is one Fugly shoe. But then, I wouldn’t stand in line to piss on Murtha’s grave, so this is a non-news event to me.
It’s ugly as fuck. What the hell is wrong with people?
Meh…non-news. The idiots riot when the team wins or loses. If ugly shoes are all that important to your societal standing, maybe you should vote for Obama….
…ooops, already did.
PG County, MD. One of the most corrupt places on earth. I’d be more surprised if those involved were actually employed.
I’m sure its the same people who were shooting each other over Air Jordans at Christmas.
I weep for the future of this country…
Flag–I don’t, but it’s going to take a lot of hard work from those of us still willing to work rather than stick our hands out and say, “GIMME!” to do it.
And frankly, the people waiting on this shoe are in large part the type who wouldn’t spend their own money on it. Just sayin.
And in what — six months? — nobody will even remember the name of the shoe or who made it.
Some people do sell their souls cheap, don’t they?
This is stupid beyond words. But then, we did serve so that folks could continue to act stupid in public. Just wish there weren’t so many willing to do so.
What, no occupy “Lids”?
Yeah the fiance was called out to back up PG County Police to keep the annimals at bay over the new Nike Sneakers. i don’t know where thay get the money in PG County, none of the turds in that county actually work for a living.
