Who cares?
People are painting two thugs fighting over pair of sneakers like it was a moral dilemma with social ramifications beyond the incident itself.
It isn't.
It's just a thief and a thug going at it.
We should be crossing our fingers in hopes that the two negatives will cancel themselves out and create a positive for society.

Why would you call the beatee a thief? He didn't steal anything from the beater. His parents produced a receipt for those fresh kicks. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

No Joe, I'm sorry. He may have not stolen those sneakers, but he probably has stolen other things. And he's probably gay. There seems to be a lot of gays at that school from what I've been reading. |

Word around town is that the "victim" did actually steal the shoes, even though his family produced a receipt. Supposedly he wanted 2 pairs of the same shoe. Not saying this is true, but it's what a lot of people are saying.
Swimmer, I could use your "gay" logic against you. You're a retired cop, right? Well a lot of people think that most people join the force because they were bullied in HS and want revenge. Just sayin'...

If true, then I stand by my initial reaction... he got off easy. |

Like I said, I'm not sure if it's true or not. But a person on Barstool last week said he was a Dean student and that the kid actually did steal the other kid's shoes. Didn't think much of it until I heard the same from a few people that you could say are"in the know" around town...
