You and I are concentrating on two entirely different issues here.To me it was so obvious that those kids had no right to steal them that I didn't even comment on that point.I'm just saddened....even stunned...that a 13 year old kid would want $120 sneakers,regardless of who paid for them.
Yes,I guarantee you that we're in agreement regarding the theft.But my comments may just be an indication that you and I see life...and 13 year old kids...a little differently.
“I’m just saddened....even stunned...that a 13 year old kid would want $120 sneakers,regardless of who paid for them.”
I’m sad that you believe that you can judge who should want whatever they desire if they are willing to pay for it and the item is legal to own. Do you think your neighbors shouldn’t own that new Escalade they purchased because an older model would have been a wiser choice?
When my son was in middle school he wanted some special basketball shoes that the ad said would help all aspiring players jump higher. He worked to earn the money and bought them. After a few weeks of wear he realized that they weren’t worth what was promised. I’m glad he learned a lesson without a beat down but I was happy that he earned his own money to buy the thing that he wanted and then came to the conclusion that the shoes really weren’t worth it.
Im sorry for that child to have learned such a terrible lesson that some friends aren’t really friends and that it’s wiser to stay away from certain people especially if they are a part of a pack. I hope he heals quickly and that the thugs are brought to justice.
