OTHER SHOE DROPS
Friday, December 30th, 2011
Pop Culture Gone Wild!
The complete moral breakdown over the release of the latest NIKE Air Jordan 11 Retro Concord basketball shoe is absolutely stunning!
The riots across America since Friday December 23, when Nike released this $180 perennial favorite, did not happen by accident. It happened because of a philosophy which replaced the God of the Bible with men who posted themselves on pedestals as the gods, to whom, certain people should look to, for everything, from food to education to medicine to jobs to…you name it.Where did a mentality for any of the following incidents come from for some of the reports from around the country, over the past few days? I will tell you right NOW, that it did not come from the Gideon Bible Society or Focus on the Family!
NEWS ITEMS from Dec. 23-27, 2011:
– Police in Georgia had to break the windows of the car of a 24 year old woman, who left her two toddlers in there, while she was fighting for a pair of these shoes inside a mall.
– Police had to pepper spray 20 people in Seattle when fighting broke out in a mall there.
– Three teens and an adult were arrested in Toledo, Ohio for disorderly conduct and breaking and entering a store, which was carrying the shoes.
– We all saw the videos of the fights in the Mall of America and cops taking down crime suspects, who came to buy these shoes.
– A young girl was severely injured when the mob stampeded and broke down the doors of a really nice downtown Indianapolis mall…and on and on!

The entire country has been treated to these video clips for the past four days! Yet not a word from basketball mogul Michael Jordan or any pillar of the pop culture which spawn this mad stupidity and anarchy! Not a word from their preachers and street activists. Not a word from any national leaders!
Finally Nike released a weak statement asking for civility! How nice of them!
This sort of moral degeneration …
