    Run Faster, Jump Higher!!!! They didn't work. Clyde up the street from me was still slow and couldn't jump over a crack in the sidewalk.

    I have never been able to wrap my head around someone stealing shoes off of another person’s feet. Why not steal their underwear too? When I was in high school in the 80’s, people would shoot people for their NBA jackets. How stylish is it to wear a stolen jacket with a bullet hole in it. That type of thinking has always puzzled me.

    I wanted Jack Purcells as a kid, but we had little money and I got some kind of knock offs where the blue line on tip was crooked.

    I also always wanted PF Flyers, still waiting.

    1. Find someone wearing them.
    2. Get a gun, stick it in their face.
    3. Take the shoes.
    4. Escape in a red coupe.

    Seems to be the modern inner-city way to acquire things you don't have and want.

    I remember when a kid was killed over a Georgetown jacket. So sad

    Robbery is now a sport in some areas.

    What areas? Do they get a trophy? Who is the MVP?

    "Modern inner-city way" is your way of saying "black", right?
    Stop hiding. Your colors are shining through regardless of how hard you try to hide it. And you cons wonder why so few black folks vote for your candidates.

    Another poster (who only posts about crimes perpetrated by whites btw) says:

    "Crime is crime. This one happens to be white."

    I noticed you haven't taken any offense at those threads, so is it crime that bothers you or only crimes committed by one race?

    I will say the same thing: "Crime is crime. This one happens to be black."

    Maybe you should start snitching on the criminals you are protecting, perhaps you can help clean up your own crime-ridden neighborhood instead of cowering in fear of the crack-hos and drug-slangers on the corner.

    Dude, you could not be more wrong. I'm white, in my mid-fifties and live in the County. My neighborhood has no crime nor does it have any of the other colorful characters you describe. Why do you cons stereotype so much?

    Con? That's rich.

    No, not a stereotype.

    Why are you such a hypocrite when you are doing the same thing?

    My dad bought me PF Flyers once. I felt like I could run so much faster in them. Once I started delivering newspapers I could buy the kind of shoes I really coveted, Puma Clyde IIIs. Damn I need to get a new pair of them.
