Another indicator that the economy is still in the shitter and Obama should be stopped at all costs. :rolleyes:

Riots for $200 shoes.


Thats the easy way to attack Obama...post any article and claim its an indicator of our economy -- I get it now.....stoopid is as stoopid does!

Blame Obama thats the easy way out........you have no clue dude!!

Nowhere in the article does it even mention Obama.....

Dude this riot is not even an indicator of the economy being in the shitter.....you need to wake up and understand!!

I can't wait for our next president to get elected, so he can start blaming the problems on the previous president, even if it's himself.

were they European Caucasian?

edit: looks like Nike only produced 1200 pairs of these. don't blame Obama or the economy. blame Nike. I would buy them too because you can resell them at a 1000%+ markup.

they're going for over $2000 on eBay now :\


There was no productive reason to enter race into this discussion, and yet you endeavored to do so.

Baiting with the racism angle is not acceptable.

Actually, I was wondering if there was an ethnic component to this... We don't have riots for iPhones and iPads (just orderly long lines), and IIRC the "flash rob" thing where lots of people enter and simultaneously rob/shoplift/loot a store is an ethnically homogenous phenomenon (I believe).

White people can do Flash mobs to, and form gangs like the Crypts just as easily as Black people can. Just because it hasnt happened yet doesnt mean it wont.

But white people do riot when their hockey teams lose.
