If you thought the Black Friday shopping fights were crazy then just look what happened when a re-issue of shoes first worn 15 years ago by basketball legend Michael Jordan went on sale.

Madness was breaking out today at stores across the U.S. as impatient shoppers queued up to get their hands on the first new Nike retro Air Jordan shoes that went on sale for $180 this morning.

Police used pepper spray in Seattle, Washington; four people were arrested in Atlanta, Georgia; there were fights in Louisville, Kentucky, and unruly crowds forced two stores shut in Austin, Texas.

Gun shots in oakland, ripped the door off the hinges in an Lithonia shoe store. All to get their $180 shoes.

Never said they did not have jobs. My point, which I see you missed was, people in this country cry about not having jobs and yet they dont act like that to try and get jobs. They only do it over shoes.

Lots of folks would act like that over jobs if they were available first come first serve at a department store. Getting a job isn't quite like purchasing a pair of athletic shoes.
