My Two Cents

Even though this is a sneaker blog, there are some things that have been happening in the news that affects us all. The first issue I would like to address is the ignorance of the Low-class news station Fox News. These people are so ignorant and bored that they decide to make to make up racial and just plain old dumb stories about Barack Obama. Case in point...



Why does there need to be coverage and research on Michelle Obama giving her husband a dap? It's not that difficult to figure out what a dap means, people have been giving each other that hand signal for over 10 years. And to indicate that it could be a terrorist fist jab was just plain old stupid.

And I'm Sure you all have seen this genius...



What's going on fox? Are your ratings that low that you had to stoop to such stupidity and ignorance? You must have forgotten that you are a news station. Your job is to give factual information about current events in a professional manner. C'mon let's have a some class.


The Next Issue I would like to address New York's Public enemy # 1, The NYPD. I was cruising through our fellow female sneaker lovers Miss Crew's blog I came across this story....






Early this Wednesday (6/18/08) Rodstarz and G1 of the group REBEL DIAZ were up in Bronx on Southern Blvd in Hunts Point, when they noticed the police were harassing a street vendor who was selling fruit. The two went over to witness the cops in action and when they saw the police being abusive they pulled out a cell phone to video tape the incident and asked for the officers badge numbers. Subsequently they were beaten, detained and taken to 41st Precint in the Bronx under the direction of Captain McHugh. Rodstarz and G1 will be going to criminal court Thursday (6/19/08) and are being charged with obstruction of justice and assault.Be there in front of Bronx Criminal Court 9AM215 East 161st.

Police officers get away with too much. It's like they hire people with psychological problems who couldn't afford therapy so they take there rage out on people by shooting them 41-50 times and beating them senselessly. When will this end?!? I understand that whomever came onto the force in 2006 is supposed to give 25% productivity for their recent raise increase according to the new contract,but this is excessive. Who wants to live in fear of the people that are supposed to protect you?
