What is it about the news that new Jordan’s will be released that makes people lose their minds? People were literally knocking each other down just to get a voucher that will secure a pair of the new Jordan’s. They even knocked a glass door completely off the hinges! After waiting in line in the cold and pushing their way into the mall, they will then have to return next week with their vouchers to purchase them for a hard-earned $170!
All of this effort towards a pair of shoes?! With the state of our economy and the state of our community, it would be nice to see this type of passion put towards issues that are meaningful. It would be nice to see this type of passion to spend money with Black-Owned businesses that can create more jobs in our community. Just one of those times where energy is terribly misguided.
And to make matters even worse, we just learned that 3 teenagers were shot in separate incidents trying to purchase a pair of discounted Jordan’s from someone they found online.
