The Flight Club shoe store on Melrose Boulevard in West Hollywood got looted by The Protesters.
The Flight Club, in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami, specializes in extremely expensive versions of sneakers, such as the “just dropped” $295 “AIR JORDAN 4 RETRO “COURT PURPLE” and the $375 “YEEZY BOOST 700 MNVN “TRIPLE BLACK,“” (Is Michael Jordan still cool? He was oppressively cool when I was a young man, but that was a long, long time ago, both for me and Michael.)
In the 1992 L.A. Rodney King Riots, the rioters started by looting local Korean-owned liquor stores. It only eventually dawned upon the liquor-addled brains of the looters that there was better stuff to steal in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills than in their own dumpy neighborhoods, by which points the cops had gotten organized enough to stop them. This time, however, The Protestors went quickly for their favorite stores, like Flight Exchange, in the best parts of town.
It’s interesting to observe the ecstatic body language of the looters. They don’t steal from their fellow looters coming out of the store, presumably with better stuff than what’s left. Instead, they themselves want to go into the store and SHOP. It’s like when Romy and Michelle tear up at the end of watching Pretty Women when the snooty bitches on Rodeo Drive finally let Julia Roberts shop:
This should be a scene in “Romy and Michelle’s 40th High School Reunion:”

Johnny Carson’s last two guests in May 1992 were Bette Midler and Robin Williams:
WILLIAMS: This is a wild night, especially with the world in such interesting–I was going to bring you a VCR, but the stores had none.
CARSON: A little low, are they?
WILLIAMS: Yeah. Somebody I guess had done a little political shopping.
It’s very difficult. You see people going, “Yeah man!”
“It’s for Rodney King! And the five TVs are for me.”
Yeah, they caught the one guy. They always catch the one whino.
“All right, yeah, man. I’m really pissed off about Don King.”
“The Don King thing has got me down, man.” “Damn.”
And they brought in the National Guard. They didn’t come with bullets, which is always an interesting thing.CARSON: They couldn’t find them.
WILLIAMS: They couldn’t find them.
So they’re out in the streets going, “Hey everybody. We are the world.”
It’s a difficult thing.CARSON: Ah, yeah. But you know.
WILLIAMS: They said they saw BMWs pulling up to the Radio Shack. That must be great.
“This is fabulous. This is great.”
“I wonder if we can get store credit if you don’t already have it.”

Can any of us say he did not succeed?
Back to the 1960s, there have been both white Leftists and blacks opine that it’s too bad that blacks don’t protest in rich areas, so the rich have to see their suffering up close. I believe it was rapperette Sistuh Souljuh who called for blacks to stop killing each other so often by having a day to kill whites.
They did in the Rodney King riots. I remember watching a clip of two women with an enormous looted TV set being approached by two thuggish-looking guys in a pickup truck. As soon as the women saw them approaching, they knew what was coming and relinquished the merchandise without any protest.
I assume that'll be a template for the new order.
Once their need for fly sneakers is finally fulfilled their innate sense of justice will be sated.

MJ is still cool because he played in an NBA era of physical defense that was loaded with other Hall of Fame caliber players, coaches, and teams.
Most of the time he prevailed over them, many times making it look easy.
It also helps that MJ and the Bulls had real, intense rivalries with all those other great players and teams. There was genuine bad blood, none of this, "Oh, after the game let's all go party at the club and post up on Instagram!" crap that was prevalent in recent years.
About the relative uppityness of various races, whites seem to riot and loot as much as blacks, ditto for East Asians rioting in Hong Kong, and also remember all of those violent Korean labor protests in the late 90s/early 2000s? I guess that jeopardizrs the theory that only blacks have an elevated tendency to riot? The only ethnicity in modern times that does not seem to have riots are Japanese after WW2, maybe all their uppity types were killed in WW2? Although it was first blacks who started to loot and then whites followed. But then in Hong Kong you also see a lot of East Asian pavement ape type behavior such as beating up old people.
Darwin Award winner for May.
Michael Jordan is timelessly cool, although he is not as idolized as he was back in the day. Kobe Bryant is more of a hero to younger people.
Jordan’s apparel, though, is still as coveted as any.
Didn’t Williams hang himself off the door knob of his walk-in closet (full of expensive clothes and shoes – probably a couple of pairs of Jordans were on a rack). Man, talk about dedication to the craft.
Like most Robin Williams routines, I had no idea what he was trying to say, but there were a few good lines.
They better not loot near my 83 year old mom on the Upper East Side or she will tell them she’s really disappointed in them, misses seeing her grandkids and ask if they can help her fix her computer. And offer some cookies.
(Sorry, Steve, I like this scene just as much as you like the one with the Smelly Cat girl watching Pretty Woman shop.)

Oh man, Charles Smith. The Knicks’ Zapruder film, as my friend called it.
The culture still had a sense of humor in 1992 evidently.
That once legitimately happened in Denmark. Rival immigrant gangs were in conflict and some of them went to the hospital to finish off one of their targets. They ran around shouting and causing a lot of trouble for a bit until an older nurse chastised them and shamed them for their behaviour. They promptly left.

Duh, what does “GET INSIDE! GO IN YOUR HOUSE! GET INSIDE NOW!” mean in Special Snowflake speak? How much of a retarded narcissist does a girl have to be to look at a squad of men in riot gear yelling “GET INSIDE” and just stand there running vid on her phone…then be surprised when the paintballs come flying?
Just dumb. Then we see some pudgy person half-dressed as Antifa on the staircase, duh, maybe the cops in riot gear kinda keyed on that one for some mysterious reason? Did that HMMV with the gun tub on top just drive down the street for randomness?
Geeze. “Hi, we’re dressed like rioters and won’t obey your instructions, Mr. Police….hey, whut?”
Special Snowflake Privilege. Right there.
About Yeezy trainers that may have been among the looted goodies from Flight Club – they have a very protruding heel, like the rest of the Yeezy range.
In fact, lots of trainers now have this feature. Is this in imitation (the designers might use a more upbeat word) of the way blacks’ heels often seem to stick out a bit more than those of whites?

Ohs Tinys…….was dat U be’n doin lootin?
The goodwhites were already on this.
Ha, my Uncle had that National Lampoon album. Radio Dinner.
Looters respect property; they merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it.

How do you expect these people to jog without the appropriate footwear?
On the Dlive GloomTube feed last night, I watched a local news interview with shop owners, looked like a husband and wife in there early 40s, wearing stylish masks. Looters had come into their store but not done much damage because they are a service business. The interviewer kept asking them to express an emotion, any emotion. Shock? Horror? Sadness?? The interviewer was getting frustrated and asking basically the same question over and over, because they would never say anything even slightly Anti-Looter without adding “but we understand the frustration” “what this is all about” “Lives come before business” etc. etc.
I wonder if this is how they really felt, having their lives flash in front of their eyes for a minute as armed strangers marauded them? But I’m thinking, “They’re afraid of becoming Karen’s on world star hip-hop. But they’re still “boomer-enough” to want their 15 seconds of fame on the news. They literally said nothing for about 10 minutes.
LAPD kiosk arsonist caught on tape. Not a looter or protester.
At one of the loot and scoot events there were three presumable Bloods(all dressed in red by a red car) who tripped and chased down a guy coming out of a store with his hands full of show boxes that they then snatched.
I never thought Robin Williams was very funny, his act always came off annoying to me. Reading an actual text of what he said only reinforced that view.
A riot for the Gentle Giant.

Well done, but that was a ton of work to let iSteve know that yes, MJ is still cool.

Jordan himself I don’t think is considered very cool. But as the greatest player ever and the elder statesman of basketball, he’s not disrespected and put down for not being very cool.
I think he’s regarded as a cornball. He grew up in rural North Carolina with 2 parents, had a close relationship with his father. He has middle class white dad type hobbies and interests like golf, cigars, baseball, Vegas, cards, gambling, etc. He’s generally always sought mainstream respectability.
Yes, funny thing. It’s almost as if shopping lists had already been made.
Oh, Robin Williams, says Butthead, I know that guy. He’s the one who talks real fast so you can’t tell he’s not funny.
You scumbag professional race-baiter. You are the rioter.
Agree; it always felt to me that he was trying too hard.
Yes, there was so much rioting going on in that residential area. The damn cops had no business ordering anyone into their homes.

Fuck “u”.
That being said, I like our American spellings and will defend our linguistic sovereignty to the death.
Blacks pretend to be outraged and hurt when a black person is victim of police brutality, but deep down inside, they love it. It like winning the lottery or ‘blottery’, or police blotter lottery. It’s jackpot time as they know (1) elites will profusely apologize (2) cops will be told to stand down (3) many blacks will come out for early black friday ‘shopping’. Power in numbers.
Blacks are usually disappointed when a police brutality story doesn’t really pan out. Blacks pray for a true police brutality story so that blacks will rush out en masse and smash stuff, thereby creating conditions for mass looting without repercussions before whites with deer-in-headlight expressions.
The latest story is closest to the perfect storm blacks were waiting for. This really does look bad for the police.
Rage justified celebration by rioting and looting. They can give full vent to let-the-good-times-roll.
Granted, such mentality exists in all races. It’s like the Bounty Hunters really getting a kick out of the mayhem in the opening scene of THE WILD BUNCH. “This is better than a hog-killing.”
Blacks just have more of it as the loot-gene was less weeded out among them by evolution.

He famously said “Republicans buy sneakers too.”
Interesting. Didn’t know that Floyd had a prior history of expressing himself as a black man.

Michael Jordan wears earrings, smokes cigars, and plays poker. Totally uncool.

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. (KRON) — People have begun to loot stores at Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek Sunday night.
Video from KRON4 reporter Dan Thorn shows people stealing items through a broken window at the Lululemon store just before 6 p.m.
He also shared images of the Ray-Ban Store which was ransacked.
“Look. This is our store. Done. Everything gone,” a woman said outside of the Ray-Ban store.
Walnut Creek is now under a curfew order effective from 6 p.m. to 5 a.m.
And the Walnut Creek BART Station is closed.
Earlier Sunday several store business owners boarded up their shops to prepare for possible looting.

Looks like that beautiful film Cinema Paradiso.
I prefer ‘Mall of Wakanda’.
Names that seemed like a good idea at the time, but turned out otherwise:
Unluckiest restaurant name– Windows on the World
Unluckiest band name– Katrina and the Waves
Unluckiest store name– Target
Sharing a name with a big chain, or worse, having a knockoff, can be bad news as well. Best Buy Auto in Little Falls has no connection with the electronics retailer, and kept lions and tigers on their property, perhaps for marketing purposes. One of each mauled and crippled a boy in 2005.
Likewise, Cup Foods, where Mr Floyd spent his randy Andy, is an obvious, and ridiculous, knockoff of regional grocery chain Cub Foods.
Unfortunately it was Cub Foods, which shares a parking lot with the trashed Target, who paid the price:
(Let me guess– the healthy food aisle was left untouched.)
What century are we in, anyway? In the 32nd minute of this drone video (no idea why the time stamp isn’t working), taken around the intersection where the precinct house burned, you can see a team of horses.

In case anyone is wondering, at the time I wrote this comment, I had just completed an unpleasant exchange with an English SJW. She smugly asserted that America’s “uniquely evil” legacy of racism/slavery/discrimination/etc. was going to be our undoing. So I wasn’t in an especially pro-British mood at that particular moment.
