Greedy shoe companies making select sneakers needlessly exclusive paired together with consumer exuberance, desperation, and American gun culture on Saturday long enough to cost one would-be alleged robber his life.

via A shooter kills a would-be robber in self-defense while waiting in line to buy LeBron James’ signature shoes | Ball Don’t Lie – Yahoo! Sports.

It is a conspiracy between the Military-Weapons-Shoes-NBA cabals that took the life of a man who just wanted to apply some wealth re-distribution in an expedient manner.

But according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution:

Atlanta police still had not released the name Sunday of an armed citizen who shot a would-be robber in Little Five Points on Saturday morning.

The dead man, who also has not been identified, was killed after allegedly trying to rob a group of people waiting in line to buy the new, $180 LeBron James sneakers.

Or Fox:

WSB-TV reports the shooting happened Saturday morning in the city’s Little Five Points neighborhood, where people lined up outside Wish Clothing to buy new $180 sneakers endorsed by Miami Heat star LeBron James.

Witnesses told police a man armed with a gun tried to rob people standing outside the store. But one of the customers drew his own handgun and shot the robber. Police say the suspect ran just a few yards before he fell dead.

I have not see stupid stuff like this since the 70s when the first new wave of Progressive/Post Hippie-Era idiots go to comment about police using “deadly” ammunition against criminals and literally crap on their pants at the idea of anybody shooting hollow points at violent criminal. You see, NOBODY chooses the be a criminal, it is the capitalistic society who forced people into criminal acts because it failed to provide the minimum needs for somebody to live a decent an honest life. So, a criminal is somebody to be pitied and helped, not shot like a rabid dog by the enforcers of this authoritarian and despicable capitalism…. yes these morons actually believed the press releases from the Soviet Union and Cuba touting themselves as crime-free.

I wonder from what time capsule was the author extracted.
