Teen robbed of LeBron James sneakers

[Dryfire]

I dunno. I had PF Flyer envy. Always wanted to have the ability to leap further with that magical Flying Wedge.

Pops always said NO WAY was he gonna spend 8 bucks on sneakers...

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 was the kid in fish heads. Whoops, that was probably before your time

So was I

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.

Fish heads, they make your feet feel fine.
Fish heads, they cost $1.99.

I can't tell you how many times I heard that one!

I loved Jack Purcell's....I still wear them.....course they aren't $12 anymore....growing up I got mine in Hampden at the Golf Shop on 36th Street..it was a shoe store that had nothing 2 do with Golf if my memory serves me right.

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 recommend Easy Spirit.

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

It still sounds cute

Robbery is now a sport in some areas.

[The Eternal White Belt]

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?

[Jeebus]

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.
