Pictured above is a screenshot from HipHopWired. (A pillar of journalism, obviously.) The first story concerns the investigation into a murder of a boy who was killed for his sneakers. Not a single pair, mind you, but his entire collection of sneakers. The boy's body was found bound and gagged in his home after a group of teens apparently robbed and murdered him. The story posted shortly before that describes (more accurately, it advertises) an ESPN documentary about MJ and the history of Air Jordans. I'm not certain that this is actual textbook irony, but I am certain that it's mad disrespectful. I'm sad for this kid but a little more sad for the future.
