News from Atlanta...Air Jordans do it again

Last night at work we heard about some idiots getting roudy around a shoe store because they believed the Air Jordan shoes were there. I for one didn't know a new Air Jordan came out because at almost 47 I readily don't care if they come out. That being said you wanna waste your money on something like that be my guest. When I was 18 I camped out in front of a theater all night to be first to see Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. But this from Atlanta is absurd.

Race for New Air Jordan Sneakers Turns Ugly

LITHONIA, Ga. - The quest for some limited edition sneakers took an ugly turn early Friday morning outside the Mall at Stonecrest in Lithonia.

DeKalb police say several people have been arrested , including one woman who left two young children in her car, after the new Nike Air Jordan 11 Concords went on sale.

Hundreds of people began lining up in the early hours at the Mall at Stonecrest to get their hands on a pair of Nike's new Michael Jordan sneakers. Several stores inside the mall were offering the sneakers.

Apparently, some people could not wait until the mall opened its doors at 8 a.m. Police were called to the scene.

DeKalb police responded with as many as 20 squad cars after a large crowd apparently made an illegal entry into the mall, breaking down the door. Police escorted most of the people back outside. At least four people were arrested in that incident.

...According to police, one woman left two young children in her car in the mall parking lot. Officers with DeKalb police had to break her car window to get the children out. They say the woman's car had been in the parking lot for quite a while.

Police waited for the woman to return to her car and when she did, she was arrested.

The woman told FOX 5 she was looking for her cousin and not buying sneakers. She says she did not know if her cousin was there to buy the sneakers.

However, several people told FOX 5 that she was there to purchase the sneakers.

The children -- a 5-year-old and a 1-year-old -- have been released to the woman's family and are ok.

You know everyone is famous for 15 minutes and at the Star Wars camp out I got on TV, comparing this to being the first to climb Mount Everest. And I know there were thousands of people who saw this report and said "What an idiot..." That being said I was 18 and had graduated high school a few weeks prior. Young and stupid. I was not the mother of two deciding to leave two children alone in a car. Woman you need your ass kicked.

Here is news report on this.
