“However, Indianapolis Metro Police said no injuries were reported.”

Injury free trampling!  Maybe this isn’t as big a bed-wetter as you’d like to pretend.

Fox never seems to miss a story about black people doing bad things. I wonder why….

Which is worse: the pathetic nature of these people behaving this way over a pair of shoes or the company that makes, markets and knowingly targets this very group or the sports franchises that deify players who then wield svengali-like power over their fans.  Shared responsibility perhaps? 

Somebody has to report newsworthy items regardless of their race, since we know ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN willfully ignore any stories about black people doing bad things.  I wonder why…

Did they mention a single black customer?  Even the person they interviewed appeared to me to be hispanic – but maybe you are wearing different colored glasses than I.

Strange that SSDeez picks up so readily at the uncomfortable cultural truth of those yearning to get these useless chunks of crap made by Nike.

“A child fell as people pushed through the doors at Lafayette Square Mall. ”

Wild unruly kids destroyed the Lafayette Square Mall a long time ago.

looks the video from “cobras” last family reunion…LOL!

you didn’t expect the good rev sharpton to “report” on this, didja?

should we take cars away from people so they can’t crash, too? tool

Did FOX ever mention race in this report? You are the only one viewing this in terms of skin color. Why do liberals act like it’s illegal to criticize blacks for doing stupid things? 

I didn’t even know there were still stores at Lafayette Square.  I remember going there while in high school (mid-90′s) and half the lots were empty.  A buddy of mine worked at an auto mechanic shop in that area, and would hear gunshots daily.  I guess Nike was just releasing a new pair of Jordans every day.

SSDeez…you would prefer no story at all so none will see how your “peoples” ALWAYS behave.

Unfortunately because there are so many. its easy to fill your news hour and the audience enjoys watching the confirmation of what they already believe

Hey everyone! Notice a ‘sameness’ about everyone goin’ after dose shoos? Maybe OBAMO’s ‘stash’ has more!

Wait until Nike comes out with their “Air Obama” sneakers!

$180.00 dollars for a pair of sneakers?
You watch, next we’ll be hearing stories about kids getting curb stomped while wearing them because someone else wanted a pair. I bet they’ll even be murders over them.

Saw it on CNN…

Wow…an unruly black flash mob storming a mall in a lawless manner.
You almost never see that.

Truly pathetic.  But funny nonetheless is watching most of the males holding up their pants.  Priceless fodder for Faux News.  

Unbridled Capitalism – like Nike cares.

Did notice, unlike those Black Friday Wal-Mart stampedes in which all races are very well represented.  Thank God no white people were hurt.

for all the people looking down on these people (of all creeds) waiting in line for a pair of $180 shoes should remember the times they waited in line all night for Halo 3, the latest Potter or Twilight book (or film), tickets to some concert or sporting event, or what ever piece of electronics that Apple put out. 

Phil Knight is such a huge job creator… in sweatshops using slave or youth labor in third world countries.  Those shoes cost $4 dollars to make, $50 per shoe to market and license, leaving $127 of profit margin. 

Trickles down don’t it.

Used to work around the area…

No but there is a thing called editing video

You don’t know many Hispanics do you?

Also, hey mediaite…

While you linked a report to WTHR in Indianapolis that mentions the stampede, there is no video in the video you posted from Indianapolis.  There is Georgia and California.  Last I checked, they will not be confused with the Hoosier State.

Do you think the guy who licked the shoe votes in elections?

they fought for twilight books and tickets?

Some of us don’t do any of that stuff, and we’re appalled at the level of animal behavior this shows.  Wait until the stores run out of food…

didn’t dare venture “In” the area, huh?

Yup, they all couldn’t run without hitching up.  Kinda hard to run with both hands grabbing at your saggy pants.

There was about an 8 year old girl in one of the videos that got knocked down.  What kind of parent brings a kid to this scene, what kind of parent leaves infants in a car to go to this, what kind of people are these?  Insanity alone doesn’t explain it.  And yeah, the shootings over the shoes will commence in 3, 2, 1….

If only Darwin could see this.

not in the mall no

Yea, that would be NEVER.

Videos like this remind me why I just can’t get into the whole “we are the 99%” crap.  I am in no way in any group that accepts people like that. 

Please do not insult the animals…maybe hyenas at a dead carcass

This reminds of that one time, when all those white people broke down the doors to get their hands on that Pat Boone album.  Remember that?

Yeah, me neither.

It refers to an economic class not a race.  Educate yourself… 
http://wearethe99percent.tumblr.com/

Maybe not for Pat Boone, but for Joe Paterno at Penn State.  Hell yeah!  
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Sports/2011/1110/Penn-State-riot-If-university-can-t-fire-Joe-Paterno-is-something-wrong  In case you already forgot.

Again, you are the only one looking at this in terms of race and automatically assuming FOX has racist intentions.

Is it that hard to believe that the majority of people lining up to get this shoe may have simply been African-American? 

Obama2012_yea
Maybe not for Pat Boone, but for Joe Paterno at Penn State.  Hell yeah!  
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/S…  In case you already forgot.

DORK.

Nice to see you finally came “out”.

Right

If they were as enthused about getting their high school diplomas as they apparently are about some very expensive sneakers, you might just see a few more black faces in that crowd.

Absolutely, because the Penn State riot is more socially acceptable in your lily white world.  Makes complete sense.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYs4tjuIAlw This Houston Air Jordan Get money boys has gone viral

I don’t know any…Am I missing something?

the pathetic nature of these people behaving this way over a pair of shoes…that’s worse….
next question?

It’s a freaking pair of athletic shoes, people…

People acting stupid.  And I’ll betcha if you asked them about this behavior, they’d explain it away as competing for something ‘important’.

Not a brain cell to rub together, that bunch.

They didn’t ignore this one.
I wonder why you said they did.

Very embarassing…especially if you are black, seeing that. Talk about re-defining a stereotype.

Yes sadly he does, and people like him who would literally lick Obama’s shoes are those who make up the 97% of us that gave Obama what is known as the “Black Vote”.

How many of these shallow, uncivilized “shoppers” are out buying $180 sneakers – while taking home (Democratic) WELFARE CHECKS?

How many have fatherless children? – 70% in the black community!
…and therein lies the single problem that spawns all others!

See Christian Science Monitor link below.  Enjoy.

Are we into comparing riots now??? Well, throw in Rodney King, Watts, Miami, and MLKing riots… for those of you keeping count.

I noticed, ironically, that most of them are black….which in turn….labels most of them as liberal maniacs.
Y’all need to get a grip.
Fighting over shoes….LOL!!!

Anybody remember those T-shirts in the 70′s that some African-Americans wore that simply said:

“It’s a Black thing, and you wouldn’t understand it!”

Well, maybe this shoe thing is, and, they were right, I don’t understand it.

Hold on!  ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, MSNBC are all about to do a story of this topic. 

After a long search, they’ve found one white guy who bought a pair of these shoes! 

He’ll be featured in their story soon!

Christian Science Monitor……….LMAO!!!
Next you’ll be linking to “Marvel Comics”

 Would these be the same people complaining about income inequality and how since they are so poor and deprived, they need more taxpayer handouts to live a comfortable American life?

Face it, this kind of crap only happens by blacks,with a wigger or two thrown in.

What kind of mindless POS people would get worked up over totally worn out sneaker hype from 90s? This is so sad.

If we count them as an “economic class” then we must also include monkeys, raccoons, lions, tigers, and bears in the 99% economic class too. 

I understand your argument but it fails miserably. Just like when Maddow was interviewing a city council person in Pittsburgh and they were both wondering why the state legislature wouldn’t pass gun laws that would prevent guns from getting in the hands of people in the neighborhood who couldn’t stop shooting at each other. You could give me a bazooka and AK-47 and I would NEVER start shooting at my neighbors and people walking by.  It’s not the guns and it’s not the shoes, it’s the people.  They are unevolved animals. Sorry but actions speak louder than words and I’m tired of pretending that the truth is a lie.

No but compare this with the story about an iphone or ipad being released and people lining up to get that.  Even with out the violence there is an underlying condescending tone.

Research the Who concert in Cincinnati or try wearing a Cowboys jersey to a Eagles home game.

at all?

Proof is in the reading – no where did he say “they” did, what he wrote is this: “…we know ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN willfully ignore…”, which indicates they have a pattern of behavior when stories like this come up. So your saying, “They didn’t ignore this one. I wonder why you said they did.”, is making something of bdob’s remarks which clearly isn’t true.

I wonder why you said he did?

Your comment, “Wild unruly kids destroyed the Lafayette Square Mall a long time ago.”, reminds me of what I have seen in Shreveport, LA and Rochester, NY, where gangs ran off the customers in malls and forced them to close because no one would shop there anymore. No customers, no stores.

Why is this allowed to happen in a modern day American city? The police seemed to be unable to stop the harassment of the customers, so what choice did they have?

Another thing in America that doesn’t get reported because it is worse to hurt someone’s feelings that to tell the truth – even though people are getting physically assaulted. 

Civilized people don’t murder each other for pointless status symbols.

I sent the club a wire stating,
PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION.
I DON’T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB
THAT WILL ACCEPT ME AS A MEMBER. Groucho Marx

He said, “since we know ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN willfully ignore any stories about black people doing bad things”
We don’t know any such thing, It was some snotty wrong-wing smear, and nothing more.
And just because someone says something, it doesn’t indicate any pattern. Or anything else, other than his state of mind. Which appears to be, as with many others here, eager to dump on the black people who are acting foolishly, by making all sorts of unwarranted assumptions about them all in general, and pretty much revealing the racism resting not at all beneath the surface. As if they finally found the excuse they were seeking in order to justify it, and get all self-righteous, on top of it all.
In the true spirit of Christmas.
And I saw this story on several networks, so whatever point he thinks he’s making about the msm, he didn’t.
And I remember middle-aged white women, waiting out in the winter cold all night, in order to get a signed copy of a book by Sarah Palin.
No less stupid. And I’m guessing that they’re viewing those black kids and clucking about it like these people here are.
Hey, if it wasn’t for hypocrisy, what would you have to do?

If only those people would get as worked up over constitutional violations and our disappearing civil liberties this country would be in much better shape. The government is certainly happy they’re focused on shoes. Hmm, it’s the government that failed to properly educate them. Maybe that explains it.

Your selective cherry picking of memories of what you think are equivalent to this situation is laughable. For example, the “middle-aged white women, waiting out in the winter cold all night, in order to get a signed copy of a book by Sarah Palin”, were not breaking down doors, trampling people and engaging in fisticuffs to get that book – these people you are so ready to support, regardless of race, are violent animals who take from others what they want and are not afraid to hurt others to get it. This hardly compares with the examples you gave like people waiting in line – PEACEFULLY – to get a book or and I-Phone or I-Pad as you said earlier.

The person I quoted was right and I stand by them and my statement. Nothing self righteous about it, you are a fool. The video tells the story, and since it was surveillance camera footage you can’t cry foul that it was manipulated to make these criminals look bad. The fact is this is an insane reaction for a pair of shoes.

Even a dolt like you should be able to see that.

Is this the standard of behavior you are condoning and you find acceptable then you have more problems than I can tell you. That is plain criminal behavior and anyone with a rational brain can see that.

In the spirit of Christmas, let’s clear up a few things:

People referred to as “African-Americans” could not – at least the majority of them, who dropped out of an already failed, unionized ‘education system’ – point out Africa on the globe.

People who are referred to as “Hispanics” are anything but. For the factually challenged, HISPANIA is the Latin word for Spain, which is definitely and undeniably a country populated by people of the Caucasian persuation. Hispanics in North America are deformed Mayas and Aztecs who respected and loved their history and language so much that they decided to speak a contrived version of Spanish. The words “Latino/Latina” are similarly highjacked to have no meaning at all.

Which brings the questions: Why are $180.00 shoes important enough to fight over? Why these same shoes – made in China -  better than shoes made in America? If they were called “Air Bird” or “Air Yao” would they be held in such high esteem by the same Grade 6 dropouts? If these same oppressed and exploited victims of white capitalism can afford $180.00 for a pair of shoes, how come they need food stamps, paid for by white folks?

  

You are right, of course.  I apologize to all the lovely wonderful animals in the world, and I’m truly sorry for all the trouble the humans have caused.  Kinda makes you wonder what all the gods that supposedly created us were thinking.  Obviously, there’s a design flaw here somewhere.

Or what about black people need to stop doing bad things. Why is it so easy to ignore the obvious? You skirt the issue of terrible behavior to blame the people pointing out the foolishness. A better stance would be to ask why are these individuals conducting themselves in this matter. Oh im black also and i have never been in trouble, following rules is a very simple thing to do. Then again blaming others for your own behavior is simple also so i guess it comes down to character in which path you will follow.

You are absolutely correct Nancy and the worse part about it is that someone would demonize you for telling the truth. Its a shame how useless citizens have been receiving a free ride just so scoundrel politicians can keep being voted into office by these same dissidents.
