It's this type of kindness the world could use a little more of these days. A Gloversville High School student wasn't going for Youtube views or social media clicks, he was just being a good human when he gave away the sneakers he was wearing to a homeless man walking down the street.
Looters are the some of the lowest of the low; preying on their vicitms during a time of crisis. When I saw videos of people looting during Hurricane Irma, it made my blood boil. When many were arrested, and then put on full blast by the Ft. Lauderdale police, I couldn't have been happier. Let's prosecute these losers to the fullest extent of the law.
I cleaned out all of my closets this week, so I personally have several pairs of shoes to donate to 17-year-old Josh Zeiser's Used Shoe Drive. I urge you to do some purging, too, and donate your old sneakers, shoes, sandals, and boots to a great cause...
An Albany man was arrested and was charged with some serious offensives, on Monday, for an incident that happened back on February 21, which involved some stolen sneakers.
It is ironic -- I could have told you those toning sneakers were a gimmick, but apparently it takes a lawsuit and the Federal Trade Commission for people to believe that simply wearing sneakers will tone you legs and gluteals without having to workout necessarily. Hello!?
Here it is almost a month after Tropical Storm Irene hit the Albany area and surrounding communities, and you would think that the recovery would be almost complete.
Have you seen those sneakers on television or in an advertisement that claim to help tone your legs and glutes? Supposedly, they have some special design in the sole/heel so when you walk in them, they make you use certain muscles without making you feel like it's a workout.
