Apparently, that education didn’t include educating young black males that “justice” has nothing to do with stealing the latest pair of high-end sneakers.

However, Nike’s financial commitment was dwarfed by Footlocker, which pledged a whopping $200 million after the George Floyd riots which went to BLM causes, “investing in youth-centric Black-owned businesses” and served as a means of “enhancing the lives of our team members and our customers in the Black Community through Economic Development and Education.”

Back in June, Nike pledged $40 million over four years to “black community organizations” in a bid to help tackled “systemic racism and police brutality.”

Looters also targeted Footlocker, with footage from the scene showing the store completely cleaned out. By the end of the night, around 20 Brooklyn Center businesses had been looted as well as sporadic looting in surrounding areas, and the chaos was repeated last night. Apparently, the opportunistic thugs who looted both stores didn’t care too much for Nike and Footlocker’s commitment to helping Black Lives Matter causes.

Apparently police officers shot someone in Minneapolis, we don’t know all the details yet, but people are already looting Nikes. Looks about right pic.twitter.com/3EUL6ffBfp— Harry Khachatrian (@Harry1T6) April 12, 2021

Footage from Sunday night showed looters breaking into a shoe store and stealing Nike trainers, because apparently justice for Daunte Wright looks an awful lot like getting your hands on a brand new pair of Air Max.

Minnesota has been hit with yet more violent unrest over the last two nights in response to the police killing of Daunte Wright, who was shot by a female officer who mistook a gun for a taser.

Footlocker stores in Minnesota were looted and trashed once again despite the company having donated $200 million dollars to Black Lives Matter causes in the past year.

There’s a page on Facebook that shares the mugshots of people that get arrested for DWI.
The thing is she is a new girlfriend and my family was happy for me. They are barely getting to know her. On her page it comes out that she was charged with DWI, driving with no auto insurance, expired registration sticker and I don’t know what else but it was all there on the Facebook mugshot share page. I hope my family doesn’t see it but I think I should tell them as opposed to them finding out on their own.

When I was in high school, I was planning on joining the military after graduation and becoming a real estate investor during or after my service. But things happened in my personal life that caused me to drop out of high school and lock myself away for the last 5 years, and it kills me.
So I've decided that it's better to regret joining late than regret not joining at all. I'm going to spend the next year or two losing weight and getting in the best shape of my life. I want to join the military to better myself as a man, do something extraordinary in my life, meet new people, and enjoy my younger years to make up for my missed childhood. But I don't know if I should join the Army or the Marines.

About the Army. They have better equipment and better living quarters. They have more free time so I can take real estate classes, get my license and maybe even invest while I'm serving. I also feel like I would be able to socially adapt better in the Army as an older recruit since I'll be 23 or 24 when I enlist.
The big downside of the Army is how their standards have tanked. They got rid of the shark attack in BCT and I've heard that trainees can have stress cards. I see people in the Army who are fat, dumb or both, and I wonder if they're just letting ANYONE enlist. I often wonder why the Army can't be held to the same standards as the Marines.

About the Marines. I like how absolutely badass they are and I want that challenge. They do what they're afraid of because they're afraid of it, and they're the first ones into battle. I also like how they use land and water, I've been swimming for as long as I can remember. The Marines can really help me better myself as a man.
The downsides of the Marines are they have less free time even working on weekends, so I probably won't have time to work on my real estate career. I might not be able to join the Marines with a GED anyways.

This is just what I see from the outside looking in.
