Forgive me for my ignorance if i'm wrong but things like this and the Black Friday chaos don't happen in other countries. I seriously don't know either. People get excited about something and turn into rabid assholes who need to get the newest and greatest things. I'm honestly surprised the stores didn't try to keep things controlled. I'm also smart enough to pre-order things online so I can avoid running into those people. Im just surprised people still go mad over Air Jordans We reppin' the 1980's up in this house yo!

It would probably be worse than the Tickle Me Elmo rush that happened. ... ... ... WORD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stgermain Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I can't believe what people will do for a certain item. I remember someone using pepper spray for an XBox 360 and now all of this for a pair of shoes. No wonder why people don't like Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_Wilson Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 This is one time where you can't say "Only in America", as I'm sure this has happened other places too. So stupid how people would be so rowdy over shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InternationalGamer Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Are those shoes really worth it... going through all that trouble... Infact... I don't think anythings worth this much trouble... for me atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIE Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) Are those shoes really worth it... going through all that trouble... Infact... I don't think anythings worth this much trouble... for me atleast. well people are getting awfully pushed against the doors so with all that proud american weight it's hard to go the other way sides, it's not all about the practical use behind those shoes. otherwise they would have bought something reliable for this time of the year like blackstones or meindl's. despite their past shady origin nikes are considered very fancy and besides just light and comfy they are somewhat of a status/face value thing. basicaly what we sometimes have with super awesome videogames and collectables is what black people can have with nikes. a relative enjoyable and harmless thing but too many black people in one area with the same idea on the day before christmas causes a M.M.O.A.N.M.

DeadlyTwinkle Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I almost felt guilty for immediately thinking black people were the culprits when I heard "Air Jordans" and "North Carolina," until I saw the video and noticed black people were the culprits, at which point I just laughed.
