Shoe Palace employee shot over shoe raffle in L.A.’s Melrose neighborhood

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

A lot of those sneaker shops and boutiques are just as complicit with the resell culture just as much as Nike/Adidas. They will literally hide raffle tickets behind purchasing products from their stores and give more tickets the more you buy. That's what they've done for some of those exlusive SB Dunks and TS releases.

Why else do you think they go the in-store pickup route instead of going the safer route and doing it online? It's exactly what Extra Butter did moving their hyped raffles to in-store pickup.

How do you just shoot and kill someone like its nothing

Stupid ass Mexican. They walk around with a chip on their shoulder when it comes to black men out here. They really are the definition of being mad at us because they ain’t us. They’re non factors in relevance and know, deep down, that their Marias have a secret hankering for a chocolate stroke. They feel inadequate and irrelevant when it comes to brothas.

They wanna be relevant in the hip hop music they love so much. They want wetback representation on the Lakers that they cheer so loudly for. They want the natural cool factor and charisma that come to Black men so innately. They literally don’t measure up. That’s why they try acting, dressing, and swagging BLACK.

They walk around overcompensating for the insecurities they feel inside and will be quick to pull out a gun and fire on a Black man because they know if they throwing from the shoulders with a Black man, 9.5/10, they gonna get rag dolled and slept. So they have to shoot you to feel tough, even though it’s an undefeatable weapon doing the work, not them. I done seen this shyt many times on the streets out here in California. Next to middle aged CAC men, these Pedros are the most insecure pussies around. Hope they catch this fakkit before he makes it to Mexico to hide with his Abuela in her dirt floor shack

Well said

They said on the news he has breaking up a fight

Breaking up fights only works when you know everyone involved (friends, family) or in school.

Otherwise just call the cops and keep it moving.

I still remember the story about the woman who left her kids in the car to stand in line for shoes years ago.

RIP to Breh. I’m shocked this isn’t more widespread regarding how BS this sneaker releases are. Stupid ass raffles, draws, limited stocked:

 

[UberEatsDriver]

I am glad I am done with buying them over hyped shoes. No more stressing about lines, raffles, bots and can sleep well at night not worrying about waking up early to attempt to buy shoes.

True. Nowadays when I want a pair of kicks I just walk in and buy w/e is there. Done with the waiting on line days

RIP to the young man. Beyond senseless. Been to that store many many times prior to 2020, been wanting to down that way too

Another angle of the shooting. Midget ese was trying to show out. I don't even think ese was apart of the fight the victim was trying to break up. He just came out of nowhere and shot him.

All for some cheap shoe that some asian kids put together in a sweat shop

That they've been making for damn near forty years, with just a different color scheme
