      Last week the Chicago Police set up a bait trap by putting a truck full of tennis shoes in the hood then arresting any kids who took a pair. So - let's buy THOUSANDS of shoes for every kid in Chicago who needs a pair. ORDER TONIGHT @ https://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/1E8BSUIS01TLA/ …pic.twitter.com/GUWp7WvOTq

      Chicago Police Set a Bait Trap & Arrest Kids Who Needs Tennis Shoes
      Last week the Chicago Police set up a bait trap by putting out a semi-truck full of tennis shoes, then arresting anyone who took a pair. We have a solution. We'll get shoes for kids who need them.

          Yes!!!!! That’s what I’m talking about fighting in another way outside of violence. This made me feel so good. I often feel so insignificant since retiring from overseas, I have PTSD and it’s hard to deal with most of the time because I want to help and fight another way.

          I am sorry you are struggling. Maybe you could help register people to vote in November's election. Ask Twitter people how to do that in your area. Always remember, you are important and wonderful just for being you.

          Nice job! Instead of trying to tackle the gun violence problem. 74 people were shot over the weekend in Chicago. (could be more or less) They want to arrest children who need a pair of shoes???
