Vic Mensa Hosts Anti-Bait Truck Shoe Give Away

Last month Chicago PD and the Norfolk Southern Railroad police set up a 'bait-truck' full of sneakers across the street from a basketball court in an impoverished neighborhood to lure thieves who were then arrested [click here if you missed that].

Chicago rapper Vic Mensa counter balances the negativity with a free shoe drive in the same neighborhood...

Got sooo many shoes donated for the @savemoneysavelife #antibaittruck we will be giving them away on the same block in Englewood where the bait truck happened details coming soon

This Sunday my foundation @savemoneysavelife is giving away THOUSANDS of shoes on the Anti-Bait Truck in Englewood on 2050 W 59th St. Tell everyone you know in Chicago! If you weren’t aware, the police escorted a bait truck full of shoes through the hood on one of the cities most violent weekends, showing just what they think of us. Strength is in numbers and power is to the people; we know our worth, and apparently the world does too. Shout to @shaunking & @anwarhadid for the solidarity
