Black Teen Shot Dead Over A Pair Of Air Jordans
In what police called "a random act of 'I want something that person has and I am going to take it from them," a black teenager was shot and killed after attempting to rob a man of his $200 Air Jordans. After being unable to purchase the 'limited edition' shoes, 16-year-old Jawad "JJ" Jabar and 2 other Middletown, Ohio schoolmates, brandished a firearm at a man (of unknown color) who had just bought a pair. The man, who had a valid concealed carry permit, shot once and killed Jawad. Since the dead black teenager was not killed by a white policeman, we doubt there will be any protests, Al Sharpton commentary, or mainstream media blitz.

Family, friends and school officials painted a different picture Monday than the troubled past of a 16-year-old Middletown High School student who was shot and killed Saturday while trying to rob a man of the tennis shoes he purchased.
Police said the fatal shooting of Jawaad “JJ” Jabbar happened after a limited release of Air Jordans at the Dayton Mall in Miami Twp. They said three Middletown juveniles, including Jawaad, were unable to purchase the $200 gym shoes so they attempted to rob a man who had just bought a pair. One of the juveniles displayed a firearm outside the mall, and the man they attempted to rob shot once and killed Jawaad, police said. The man had a valid concealed carry permit through Ohio, police said.
No one has been formally charged, but the two other juveniles involved in the attempted robbery are in custody, police said.
All three of the teens are students at MHS, school officials said.
Jawaad’s father, Wallace Jabbar, when contacted Monday night by phone, was hesitant to talk about the shooting, but said he was “obviously devastated” by his son’s death. He was out of town working, he said, then his phone went dead.
One of the MHS students there at the time of the mall shooting was cited for a misdemeanor charge in April 2013 for bringing what officers thought was a handgun to the high school. The school resource officer was told the teen was in possession of a gun, but further investigation indicated it was a pellet gun that resembled a semi-automatic handgun, according to police.
In May 2012, the other teen was given a criminal summons by police after being involved, along with two other boys, in a disturbance in the Dollar Store on North University. They were asked by the store manager to leave the day before because they caused a disturbance, but returned to the store, began cursing at the store manager and throwing a bottle that hit two patrons, according to the police report.
This newspaper is not naming the other two teens pending formal charges possibly being filed.
Jawaad moved to the Middletown City Schools District from Columbus earlier this school year, and was a sophomore on the football team, school officials said. Earlier this year, he was charged with petty theft for allegedly stealing Pop Tarts, two plates of fried chicken, a Snickers bar and a plate of sushi from Kroger, 3420 Towne Blvd., according to Middletown police reports obtained by this newspaper. Two other juveniles and MHS football players were charged with petty theft, according to police reports.
Jawaad also was charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly punching a Hamilton High School student at a basketball game, and he was in possession of a “small baggie of marijuana,” while at school, according to police reports.
The Rev. Michael Bailey, pastor at Faith United Church and linkage coordinator at MHS, said Jawaad has been suspended at least twice for his actions. Bailey said he was “blown away” when he heard Jawaad, a soft-spoken student, was allegedly involved in an attempted robbery over a pair of tennis shoes.
“How did I miss this?” Bailey asked. “I never saw this coming.”
He said losing a life over a pair of shoes shows how materialistic our society has become.
“It’s like, ‘I got mine. What about you?’” Bailey said.
Ladonna Matthers, one of Jawaad’s cousin, spoke with his father about the deadly shooting.
“He’s very heartbroken; it’s tragic,” said Matthers, who said Wallace Jabbar was out of town working on Monday. “This is very unfortunate. He’s very polite and well mannered, he likes video games…a good kid. Unfortunately, he got caught up in something that ended his life.”
Matthers said she never knew Jawaad was involved in criminal incidents.
“Very surprised to hear about this,” said Matthers. “Regardless like I said of anybody’s past or anything he’s a 16-year-old child.”
She said Jabbar’s father often worked long hours to provide for his family. “It’s important we keep a hold of our youth, because he’s not the only one, so many around here that has died over drugs or money or trivial (things) they have no opportunity so they get lost in other things.”

We leave it to LiveLeak to sum it all up...
Just another innocent black male trying to get his life on track tragically shot down in the prime of his life by a shopper selfishly trying to take the last pair of Air Jordan's (What has this world come to)? If only Al Sharpton had been there to mentor this young pillar of the community.
If only.

and with all the comments don't forget the subpoenas on 40% of the United States population, OTHER MINORITIES, WHITES INCLUDED.
Who would have known Americans would still be paying for cotton picked hundreds of years later?
Any anarchist, that's who
State made slavery possible (impossible without expensive policing) now keep enjoying the fruits of state stupidity
State?
jewish slave dealers and their arabic bastard cohorts in north africa.
Think again
It's incidental how the slaves got here
Important is the fact that .gov made the business of slave ownership profitable by paying for security
What kept those slaves in place? A massive state apparatus kicked in as soon as a slave escaped. All at taxpayer expense. And if you were called up for a posse and refused, or worse, harboured a fugitive slave, kiss your ass goodbye.
Take out state sponsored security and the economics are not there for slave ownership.
Simple numbers.
"He said losing a life over a pair of shoes shows how materialistic our society has become."
Go fck yourself...threatening a person with a firearm to rob them for sneakers shows just how animalistic a certain sub-culture has become.
Right you are. No way the guy with the Jordans was to know he wouldn't be shot after turning over the goods.
The CFL holder likely saved society countless monies for this now dead feral's upkeep and those of all the sired bastards that thankfully won't be born. Not to mention the trauma that the oppressed, dispossessed shithook would likely bring to all the others his feral life would touch. Merry Christmas.
He should get a medal for saving taxpayer money!!
I'd rate this about a 9 for empathy, 9 for political correctness, and 9 for liklihood the IRS audits you, once the NSA maps your IP address.
Shyt the Belly of the Beast is where I festered for 30 years. Fck them in their craven fascist-progressive asses.

==================================
Sensitive choice of words there. The father's phone ain't the only thing that "went dead"."

=================================
Sensitive choice of words there, your reverence. You ain't de only one what was "blown away". That's the sort of reverend you get nowadays, I suppose.
Anyone that buys a $200 pair of Air Jordans ought to be shot, but not for their Air Jordans, rather for spending that kind of money on a pair of fricken athletic shoes. I mean, really. They cost $4 to make in China.
Every black memorizes this script: 'He was a good kid, excelled in sports, had gotten into some trouble as of late, but was just beginning to turn his life around".
Haha, "But he was a good man".
Add 'gentle giant' and 'aspiring rapper'.
Keep stirring the pot.
This will ensure that when America finally erupts, that the hatred runs so deep that we get the blood bath to end all blood baths.
The people in countries that have had to deal with US installed and supported dictators over the years e.g. Vietnam, Iraq, Grenada, Venezuela, Chile, Iran, Philippines etc etc etc etc...
Will be cheering wildly when the bullets start to fly in earnest :)
It might sound terrible but I hope the bullets will start to fly in earneest as it's the only way America can be restored. Give blacks such a whopping that they'll be terrorized into lawful behaviour like under Jim Crow - it's the only way to control them - stop subsidizing irresponsible reproduction, expel ALL illegal immigrants and their anchor babies, drag out the banksters into the street, lynch the worst of them and put the rest in stocks and have the public throw rotten fruit at them. Then ruthlessly purge academia and the MSM of all Cultural Marxist anti-White traitors.
America is dying before our eyes. Actually it's deliberately being destoyed by changing the demographic make-up, exporting its industries, eliminating independent media, undermining the family and all the other institutions that made the country great. Let present trends continue and within two generations America willbe like Brazil today.
I think we need to outlaw pellet guns that look like semi-automatic hand guns so these kids don't get themselves killed when they act stupidly. I wonder if the NRA would object to that? Probably.
Why, were the three youths brandishing a pellet gun that looked like a semi automatic hand gun?
You're joking right?...cause that would be equivalent to training them to be better criminals. Next time they might even throw some rape in just because.
Two battles were fought and won.
Ownership and accountability.
Keep em comin
Make that three. New composting material created.
This is what I mean by the "Black Menace" in America. JJ Jabar, a street punk who is part of the Black Menace was shot and killed by a person protecting his right of property ownership. We need more right to carry permits issued so we can keep the Black Menace at bay. Oh! I'm waiting for Obama to say "he could be one of my kids".

Stand on the second floor of a mall. String up a pair of Nike shoes to a fishing rod. Drop your bait to first floor. You will catch a negro by his toes.
What if he hollers?
Let him go
Anlother mad has not. Next.
Yes, he should become a "have" and work on Wall Street by stealing his clients money.

I have a pair of Nike Air. They have a flat. I like them because they work great even with a flat. The Asics start falling apart after 6 months. Barefoot would be just fine if it meant facing the gun. Blankfein is the smallness between the shoe and the person.
Nike Tequila Air shoe will be the next on the list.
who gives a fuck
Unfortunately, blue gums only understand things when its a threat
Jabbar and his
Christmas shoes
Jabbar he went a-shoppin'
But he couldn't get no Jordans
So he pulls his automatic
He's been hidin' in the attic
He say Gimme What You Got!
Motherfucker I ain't Foolin'!
The shopper thinks he's dead
Pops a cap in Jabbar's head
And then Charles Darwin say
Done my duty for today
I been cleanin' up the tidepool
Of some tangled DNA.
Jabbar's homies they vamoose
But in final irony
They'll charge 'em both with murder
With felony murder
They'll charge 'em both with murder
It don't matter what degree.
The reverend don't say nothin'
"I ain't never seen it comin' "
It's your job to see it comin'
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
It's your job to see it comin'
Seems to me.
a bargain.
I'll bet the Feral Gubmint bought up all of the "limited release" Air Jordans just so this very thing would happen. It's a Gubmint CONspiracy!!
Black guy stealing a plate of fried chicken, that's just too hilarious
Anyone that would pay $200 for a pair of sneakers deserves to get shot.
Just thinkin
Do banksters wear Air Jordans?
At $200 a pair it must be a steal for them!
“How did I miss this?” Bailey asked. “I never saw this coming.”
He said losing a life over a pair of shoes shows how materialistic our society has become.
“It’s like, ‘I got mine. What about you?’” Bailey said.
The second two statements answer the question, "How did I miss this?"
He didn't lose his life over a pair of shoes. He lost his life during an armed robbery he perpetrated on an innocent man who just happened to also be armed. The fact some other dude might buy these shoes is not in itself a challenge to others without. This is incredibly stupid statement. If someone was to shoot this so-called reverend for his automobile or his home, would it also be a case of 'I got mine, what about you?' ???
Bailey? You missed this because your interpretation of reality is grounded in too much spin.
Clipped version:
A Thug is a Thug is a Thug.
Good riddance. The probability he would have eventually killed someone for some other thing, was prevented. One small step for the gene pool.....
Oink, oink, same when police thugs get it from a civilian thug.
Oh for Fucks sake! Are we still killing for a pair of Air Jordans??? That's Sooooo 1980's.
Evolution is sure dragging its ass with those boys, lemmetellya.
Earth to racist retard who wrote this piece of shit article:
The black community is upset over cops killing blacks because the do it under color of law. I know that's a bit too complicated for you, but do try to raise your IQ sufficiently to figure it out.
Do cops overstep the law and take things into their own hands in the heat of the moment? Surely. When you got a 200+ lb feral ape attacking you, fair and legal gets forgotten. My family has been dealing with a stalker for the past 2 yrs. Very frustrating talking to cops who 'by law' can do very little about it. It will have to escalate til our stalker shows up with anything that even vaguely resembles a weapon and then I will settle it permanently.
Someone with a rap sheet who ends up getting dead should be a rubber stamp case closed. Frankly, fuck them!
Nothing to see here....move along....I'm sure a white man somewhere is responsible for all this....move along...
Al Sharpton, sage that you are, would you please come and educate your people, that it's not proper to get killed during the commission of a crime.
This is one reason why the nut-job leftist states refuse to allow conceal carry. Obama voters and future socialist voters might be killed when robbing people by gunpoint.
Maybe the little B Boy, did not have any intention of pulling the trigger, he just thought he would scare the Jordans out of him.
<Maybe Conceal carry is the problem
< maybe open carry would have been a deterrent
Maybe thugs should just start shooting people first, then robbing them, that would solve the conceal carry problem.
A nice Christmas present to the country imo. One less thug in the US and he did us a favor by checking out young, maybe he didn't have time to spread his genetics to the next generation.
false equivalency to make white people feel good about not doing anything when black people get killed by the police.
this is a story of a criminal killing an innocent kid. when police officers kill unarmed black men, well it's wrong. they are not the same thing.
