I was thinking of putting a foot note to this article, but really, this needs to be said before going into the details.<\/p>\n
This MUST stop. \u00a0We can do better.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“We” is not just referring to the sneaker community and sneakerheads, but society as a whole. \u00a0A violent, armed, robbery in plain daylight just illustrates how much more we need to do as society. \u00a0This is truly a heartbreaking thing to watch, and all I can think of is how awfully terrorizing and scary it must have been for the victim. \u00a0Our thoughts are with him and his family.<\/p>\n
If ANYONE knows ANYTHING or recognizes ANYONE, it is your duty as a human being to contact authorities. \u00a0No neighborhood is safe and no city can remain calm with attacks like these. \u00a0You\u2019re urged to call Cleveland Police at (216) 623-5464.<\/strong><\/p>\n
One of the assailants appears to be wearing metallic gold sneakers.<\/p>\n
