SERIOUSLY???

"I actually jumped over the girl that fell. There was a few people on the ground but I jumped over 'em and kept running," said a shopper.

These are the words of one of the shoppers in hot pursuit of the Air Jordan 11s and Air Jordan Retro Concord shoes released yesterday in stores.

These shoes were going for almost $200 a pair. People were lined up at midnight the night before they were released all waiting for the opportunity to grab a pair. In my hometown, police forces had to be brought out to the stores where in one incident shoppers tore a door off its hinges as a result of the stampede that was triggered when the doors were opened. Obviously, as the quote above indicates, people were being knocked down, stepped over and completely ignored all in the name of getting that precious pair of shoes....SHOES!!! When one store ran out shortly after opening, they were escorting the lucky few who got a pair out a side door for their safety. According to WTHR news, Air jordans are at over $605 on ebay.

This truly breaks my heart. Have we lost our minds?? Talk about some serious priority problems. There are so many things I could say...but I honestly can't find the words. So, I'm going to let the following picture speak for me...
