Social media is really changing the way how lives are structured these days. Unfortunately, it seems to be making us dumber as an unintended side effect.

Two teenagers who stole a pair of trainers from another kid were arrested after they foolishly posed with their stolen loot on Facebook.

Reed Markee Deandre Williams, 19, and Davon Luckett, 17, were taken into custody in Atlanta, Georgia, after police found the images of the swiped trainers on Facebook, reports Mirror UK.

They held up the teen who had the shoes at a school bus stop in suburban Atlanta. With a gun pointed at him, they ordered him to hand over his pricey newly released Air Jordan 6s, and then proceeded to flee.

However, police traced the robbers after they bragged about it on Facebook, and even posted pictures of their hip new acquisition.

They’re being charged with aggravated assault and armed robbery.
