Saluting a Homie
That magnificent quote comes from Taylor White, a gentleman who was in line to procure a pair of the new LeBron X EXT kicks when some skell came up on the scene robbing folks only to get bullet dropped by a Homie who stood up for erbody.
Getting a pair of the coveted sneakers meant getting to Wish early. Police responded to the shooting at 5:30 a.m. — six and a half hours before Wish opened.
By 11:30 a.m., a line 45-people long stretched from Wish’s door down to the sidewalk and almost halfway up the next block.
Some brought chairs to make their wait more comfortable, but police tossed them aside and made the sneaker-hungry customers stand in a single file instead of clustering around the store’s entrance.
“It ain’t that serious,” one woman said as she looked at fellow customers trying to stay as close to the store’s entrance as possible. But she wasn’t giving up her spot in line, either.
