scuffles broke out and police were brought in to quell
the unrest when christmas shopping turned into riots
- riots all across the nation yesterday
following the release of nike's new air jordan
basketball shoes, yes, for basketball shoes...
it's all about the craze about a pair of special sneakers
it's a retro model of one nike's most popular air jordans
mayhem stretched from washington state to georgia
and was reminiscent of the violence that broke out
20 years ago when the shoes were first introduced
remember when kids were being killed for their sneakers
well, nobody has died yet
police used pepper spray on about 20 'customers'
who started fighting at a mall outside seattle
- fighting in line waiting to go buy basketball shoes...
doors were ripped off their hinges and people
climbed over other people to get to the shoe department
crowds started gathering at shoe stores in malls around
midnight and they grew and grew all night until 4am
- that's when most stores opened
and that's when the fun began, the doors weren't even
unlocked in most locations when the craziness just
pushed it's way through the glass,
cuts, scrapes, blood... all for a pair of $180 shoes,
what the world must think, people fighting for $180 shoes
who sez there's trouble with the US economy,
kinda depends where you wanna spend yo dough
no money fo rent, but i gots my jordans
THIS MADNESS PREEMPTED MY TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS EVE MESSAGE BECAUSE THIS PLACE WE LIVE AIN'T FUNNY NO MO
