Tyreek Amir Jacobs Killed For Concord Jordans

 UPDATE: THIS STORY APPEARS TO BE A HOAX. WE’LL LET YOU KNOW MORE AS WE GET MORE INFO.

The more I think that times have changed, the more I am made aware that some things never change. I wonder how Michael Jordan first learned to cope with the fact teens in the inner city were being slain for a pair of his sneakers that really cost nothing to make. If I could, I’d talk to MJ and ask “How come they just don’t make enough? People will still buy them, Mike! It’s not as if you’re going to have to go back to the drawing board and figure out a brand new marketing plan. Just make the shoe and it’ll sell itself.”

What’s even crazier is that people aren’t starting riots and making a scene because they’re too expensive. There just isn’t enough to go around. This has been the case for years.

I’m assuming the 17-year old Tyreek Amir Jacobs from Washington DC got his early. He was pronounced dead over Facebook and Twitter yesterday. A fan page was created and has 6,000+ likes already. The story grew with the help of a bunch of tweets from DC residents and Jordan fanatics. Now the excitement and buzz around the infamous Concord XI sneaker will be overshadowed by the uproar from a community that is disgusted by the shoe fetish that has cost a young man his life. This isn’t a new story but an all too familiar one. #BreakTheCycle

[WATCH] Teen Whipped by Uncle, Murdered

This is crazy! I’m sure we all can recall the popular video that spread, featuring an upset uncle disciplining his nephew for portraying himself to be a gangsta? Well, the kid was gunned down recently in front of his home in Terrytown, Louisiana. I imagine the popularity of that video made the young man want to prove that he was tough even more, which could’ve resulted in his untimely death.

As I take a look at this scenario, I can understand what the uncle was trying to do when he posted the video on Facebook. However, I don’t think he understood the power of the internet and the damage it could do to his nephew in the future. When the uncle was asked if he regretted posting the video he said he didn’t. What’s even more crazy is that the uncle could’ve never posted the video and the boy wouldn’t have been famous, but he still could’ve been killed.

Father That Let Loose On A Group of Kids Is A Hero…#CMON SON

So yesterday we reported in the “Wherever He Laid His Hat Is His Home So You Better Not Be On His Stoop Making Noise!!!” post about a father that opened fire on a bunch of unruly teens in Brooklyn last weekend. One of the mothers of the wounded is calling him a hero??? See for yourself:

“The Brooklyn man who allegedly opened fire on a bunch of rowdy teens is a hero, not a menace, says the mother of one of his inadvertent victims.

Thomas Dunikowksi, who was arraigned on attempted-murder and weapons charges yesterday, was ‘just trying to protect us,’ said Larisa Kaprovskaya, whose 21-year-old daughter was hit in the leg in the wild Saturday-night shooting.
