MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A group of multiple suspects is wanted after breaking into a local business and stealing $100K worth of Nike shoes, as well as toys for a holiday toy drive.
The break-in happened at Valid Kixx, 6569 Winchester Rd., on Sunday, Nov. 20, around 9:45 p.m., according to the Memphis Police Department (MPD).
The owner told police his alarm system notified him that someone was breaking into the store.
The suspects threw a four-way tire wrench through a window to get in, MPD said.
Video footage showed approximately 20 men running in and out of the store grabbing merchandise.
While inside, they kicked a hole through a back wall

I can't imagine why there are still any businesses in Memphis. The stores keep getting robbed and the customers keep getting shot. But on the bright side the city sent the statue of Forrest and his and his wife's remains to where they will be appreciated so the thieves won't have him looking at them anymore.

White Supremicists strike again!

Sometimes I guess I feel like analyzing the root causes of actions such as this. The Left argues these young men MUST steal due to lack of job opportunities in their area. The socio-econ climate is such that they have NO CHOICE but to steal to earn their way through our capitalistic, white-supremacist system.
Is that excuse true in Memphis? I wonder what the job situation is like there? Are there Help Wanted signs and if there are, as there seems to be everywhere else in America, are the potential employers just offering too little per hour to complete with a career of stealing?
What about the educational and job-training opportunities in Memphis? Are those already living under the poverty threshold locked out of public schools and community colleges? Is there no chance for entry-level positions graduating into ones which pay more based on increasing skills and experience, as there seems to be in every other area in America?
My suspicion, however, even though I have not done my due research regarding Memphis' socio-econ climate, is that the young men shown in the video aptly and athletically robbing the store, simply don't WANT to work and actually prefer to steal.
As I overheard a young man saying not to long ago, "I don' want to work no job; only thing I'm good at is hustlin'."
But maybe I'm wrong. Am I?

I try to buy stuff that doesn't have a name of anyone on it. Their name means nothing to me and I won't pay any money to wear it. I buy inexpensive purses, that don't have the insignia, name or anything on it. Thieves won't target me to rob me for my items. I don't wear my good jewels any more, let the street urchin buy their own stuff.
What is with this society that wants to pay so much for a goofy looking paid of sneakers! Sheeesh. Just can't respect that. Stuff like this just promotes this kind of action. And then knockoffs from COMMIE CHINA flood the world just so you can pretend to afford them? Fool yourselves, you fools!

Per #9. I don't buy branded stuff either. I also don't buy anything from Nike. Most imported goods are overpriced junk anyway.

Suspects, boys, men. It all translates to the same species of imported creature.

I'm 100% sure this is the work of white supremacists. Who else would steal sneakers.

The good news in the robbery, no work boots were stolen they were left on the shelf. Like the LBTQ crowd this is a protected race of people, this is considered 'restitution'. BLDM

No sympathy for Nike. They've been catering to this demographic for decades.

#9 Exactly so.Besides, I like to lace up and tie my shoes. So they will stay on my feet without shuffling!
Apparently Nike sneakers have to be worn un-laced!
On the other hand, unlaced sneakers and pants hanging low has caused many a scofflaw to fail to escape the long arm of the Law!

When you have no education (too white) and you have no desire to work (too white, again) all that's left is to steal. When I see these feral youths riding $1000 bikes and wearing $200 shoes, I pretty much figure that's ill gotten gains. It's profiling, but if I'm an oppressor in blacks views, then I'm free to assume they're all thieves at heart. We have the useless grifter from Kenya to thank for this.

I work for a big box retail store. They stopped selling Nike stuff because so much was stolen.
As for these people not working, some of them(all races) are not employable- won't show up for work, won't learn or do the basic job skills, bad attitude. etc.

I'll bet that no white people were involved. Hard to be certain from the video, but the dress, and the fact that I saw no white hands....perhaps everyone was wearing black gloves....(eye roll).
A particular subgroup commits 75% or more of all crimes. And this group of punks is a perfect sample of lawless, rotten little criminals. All of them deserve to spend years and years in prison.
