Robber Shot And Killed After Attempting To Rob Sneakerheads In Line

S#*% just got real in the ATL…

A group of people camping out for this morning’s sneaker releases at an ATL sneaker spot were confronted by an armed man, who attempted to rob them. One of the people in line, who happened to be carrying a firearm, drew his weapon and fired on the would-be robber, killing him. After interviewing several witnesses (who were undoubtedly waiting to cop a pair of Nike LeBron X EXT “Denim” or, less likely, the Jordan Son Of Mars Low “Cement”), it seems the police have ruled the shooting as self-defense, as the shooter hasn’t been arrested and charges have yet to be filed; however, the investigation is still ongoing.

While this isn’t the first case of violence over sneakers, nor is it the first killing, it is the first story I can recall of a potential victim killing the potential robber in self-defense. Someone losing their life is never a good thing, but hopefully something good can be taken from this situation. Robbing people is never a smart move, and people need to think twice before attempting something like that. I can’t lie and say I feel bad for the victim; I don’t. But I can say that I hope that more people don’t die because they decided to try robbing the wrong person; if you can’t afford something, work for it until you can buy it, instead of trying to steal it from someone who did put in the work to get it.

Let us know in the comments below, have you ever been robbed or had someone try to rob you of your kicks? If so, what happened? And also, how do you feel about carrying a weapon with you to cop kicks? Lastly, for those of you that usually buy your kicks at a physical location, please be safe and smart out there, as people are becoming more and more heartless and shady. Try to roll with friends when you’re going to cop kicks, and if you’re rolling dolo, don’t carry a weapon unless you are responsible, and most importantly, legally allowed to carry a weapon. Peace!

  1. I am very pro 2nd amendment. Truth is, 9/10 time the police don’t prevent crimes. They report to crimes after someone’s already been victimized or killed. The defendant had all the right to protect his life immediately instead of dialing 911 in hopes that a cop would show up in time to prevent the assailant from pulling the trigger. In the end, you are responsible for your own safety. Arm yourself. Protect yourself and your family. Train safely. Learn how to properly handle.

    1. I don’t think every person should own a firearm, as some people aren’t capable of handling themselves in a responsible manner, but I’d say the majority of firearm owners out there are responsible, respectful people, who don’t carry with malicious intent; they carry to protect themselves and those they love. Thanks for commenting! Peace.

  2. I see nothing wrong here. You live by the sword you die by the sword. Hopefully this act of self defense becomes a deterrent to those would be robbers in the future.

  3. This Is a great story!!! In a way it’s sad someone had to lose their life. But it is unfair to work hard for what you want and then have some greedy low life come and try to take your joy away!!! Listen I’m from Chicago and we are fighting for are right to carry a firearm and in this case if it had happend here the wrong person could’ve lost his/her life. We need to be able to protect are selves then next some punk will think about holding someone up and then maybe just maybe he or she might think about going out and getting a job and be able to go out and by himself his own joy whatever it may be and be able to act like a normal human being rather then a low life gutless punk!!!
