Shoppers squabble, arrested over new Air Jordan shoes

SEATTLE (AP) – The release of Nike's new Air Jordan basketball shoes caused a frenzy at stores across the nation early Friday, with police using pepper spray on a group of rowdy customers near Seattle and officers arresting some shoppers after a crowd broke down a door in suburban Atlanta.
A group of about 20 people were sprayed after getting into fights at the Westfield Southcenter mall in suburban Seattle, Tukwila Officer Mike Murphy said.
The crowd started gathering around midnight at four stores in the mall and had grown to more than 1,000 by 4 a.m., when the stores opened, Murphy said.
"Around 3 (a.m.) there started to be some fighting and pushing among the customers," he said. "Around 4, it started to get pretty unruly and officers sprayed pepper spray on a few people who were fighting, and that seemed to do the trick to break them up."
No injuries were reported, although some people suffered cuts or scrapes from fights, Murphy said. The crowd broke off a door.
One man was arrested for assault after authorities say he pushed an officer.
"He did not get his shoes; he went to jail," Murphy said.
About 25 officers from Tukwila, Renton, Kent, Seattle and King County responded. They smelled marijuana and found alcohol containers at the scene, he said.
Murphy said the crowd was on the verge of a riot and would have gotten even more out of hand if the police hadn't intervened.
"It was not a nice orderly group of shoppers," he said. "There were a lot of hostile and disorderly people."
The stores sold out of the Air Jordan 11 Retro Concords, and all but about 50 people got their Nikes.
Hundreds of customers also lined up outside shoe stores in downtown Seattle and at a mall in Federal Way.
Across the country, at least four people were arrested in a mad dash by customers hoping to buy the shoes at a suburban Atlanta mall.
DeKalb County police told Fox 5 Atlanta that up to 20 squad cars responded to a mall in Lithonia early Friday. They said a large crowd broke down a door to get inside before a store opened.
Police said they escorted most of the people outside but took four into custody.
Officers said they had to break a car window to get two toddlers out after a woman went in after the shoes. They said she was taken into custody when she returned to the car.
Dozens of police officers were called to restore order at Carolina Place Mall in Pineville, N.C., near Charlotte, after fights erupted. The unrest started just after 5 a.m. as a crowd of about 200 that had been waiting pushed inside.
There were also disturbances at SouthPark and Northlake malls. Police and officials at both shopping centers asked patrons to leave.
Emergency medical crews were called, but didn't take anyone to hospitals.
That is madness! Getting pepper sprayed over some shoes? Like are you serious? Is it that important? What, so you can stunt on a few fools for a couple weeks? Or wait, resell them for a couple extra dollars? It's just pathetic if you ask me. Folks have lost all common sense, moral decency, and manners. The Jordan shoe phenomenon is not new. I mean folks was getting merked over J's since the 80's.

"it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols. 39Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
40As ? overthrew ? and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein." Jeremiah 50:38-40
? is going to judge the land of Babylon and it's occupants (those who don't escape) because they are mad over their idols! Babylon consumes the most goods of any nation on earth while only containing 4.5% of the worlds population! Babylon takes and takes and takes and takes and takes and if a country won't give Babylon what it want's they take it by force! The spirit of greed has overtaken the inhabitants of Babylon! It's just sickening!
"7How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 8Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord ? who judgeth her.
9And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come." Revelation 18:7-10
Babylon lives deliciously and carelessly! America the beautiful believes that she will never see sorrow nor know torment! I mean the people of the land are so intoxicated with the ways of this world that they are totally oblivious to the signs of the times! ? said He was going to come like a thief in the night and catch the world sleeping! When the inhabitants of Babylon are more concerned about what the Kardashians are doing, when the latest Iphone is coming out, and fighting over a pair of sneakers, one can't help but to see (meaning those who understand the signs of the times) how the sudden destruction is going to come upon the world!
It's coming like a flood! Like a roaring avalanche that consumes everything in it's path! The times and the seasons are clearly evident to those who have the Spirit of ? in them. This is the season of the end of the age! And the time of the opening of the seals and sounding of the trumpets is not too far off! The day of destruction starts with the fall of Mystery Babylon! The sudden, total, and complete annihilation of the United States of America by nuclear fire will commence the beginning of the end! And no more will the masses be lined up for Jordans. No more will the masses be lined up for black Friday. No more will the masses be lined up for the latest gadget. The things that the inhabitants of Babylon lusted after will be found no more at all in her! Why? Because Babylon will become a ruinous heap without a person left alive inside of her!
"11And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: 12The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 13And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. 14And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. 15The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! 17For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 18And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 19And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate." Revelation 18:11-19
The only way of escape in these last days is through the door of the sheepfold! That door is only accessed through Jesus Christ! He is the way, the truth, and the life! No one who comes to Him will be ashamed! All who come to Him will find pasture, rest, and joy in His fold! I pray that the Lord will touch the hearts of those who seek more than what the eye can see! I pray for those souls who yearn after truth! I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will work His marvelous ways in the hearts and lives of those who seek healing, forgiveness, and eternal life. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
