My First Retraction

I just read an article saying that no young man named Tyreek passed today as a result of a pair of sneakers. It was a story fabricated on Facebook and its fabrication ended up getting national attention. I apologize for not checking my sources. At the same time, the fights and the robbery are things that did happen and made the news. The moral of the post was, "let's reevaluate how much emphasis we put on materials. No one should be robbing or fighting anyone over a pair of shoes." That message has not changed.
