The riot happened at the mall. It’s not the Amish. If we didn’t have malls we would not have riots. So we need to ban malls.

What is the deal with the black underculture??? How did these people get this way? What do we do to help them, when every attempt to teach about what is important in life is called “cultural imperialism” by the left?

Something needs to be done, to save these people from themselves.

Maybe the company should “release” the shoes only for Internet sale. Surely there are more useful things the police could be doing than controlling riotous shoe-buyers!

Afghan Amish yutes riot over books.

American Amish yutes riot over shoes.

My favorite comment below the article--

LisaC • 22 hrs ago "Ever see a riot over work boots?"

1541 people like this; I'm guessing the 18 that don't either bought the shoes, or were at the very least a participant in the riot.

Follow the money. The successful rioter will make $2000 for his $250 purchase. It’s a gold rush.

There was a great comment after the article about the same BS that went down in Florida. The commenter referred to the rioters as “feral pavement apes”.

Is that racist?

Quakers Gone Wild!

Speaking at a local barn raising, the group's spokesmen, Jebediah Jr and Malachai X, stated they were deeply disturbed.

They don’t have “access” to da net... Nor credit cards to utilize in an online purchase because they are more likely to not have a bank acct, because they are more likely to not have an income, or a driver’s license, or a social security card...cash on the barrel baby.

"Mobs are one thing," Stephen Douglas wrote on TheBigLead.com. "Sneaker mobs are another. Nike needs to start making enough sneakers for everyone and stop releasing them at midnight."

Something needs to be done, to save these people from themselves.

Commie playwright Bertolt Brecht created a meme in a poem mocking the East German regime for their inability to inspire confidence in the masses:

Would it not be easier In that case for the government To dissolve the people And elect another?

It appears to me that every socialist regime must create its own pliable "people", which constitute the "masses". If you think that what the American welfare state has done to inner-city blacks is terrible, just look at what they've done to young people of all races attending universities and colleges in good faith, only to be intellectually cheated by the elites.

The socialist State can only kill the human spirit - that's what it does to live.
