Wow. Your an idiot. The fact that your telling people to stop supporting gangster rap because they do not agree with your self righteous anti establishment views confirms it. I never heard of any public policy workers advocate the DESTRUCTION OF THEIR OWN COMMUNITY. When you dismiss the cars, shops and people being vandalized by these acts as "just cause," you are ignoring the fact that you are creating victims in the process. Victims who will suffer from the loss of a member of their community and now have to cover the damages and cost of clean up. Mr. Grants kid(s) are already without a father. Any one who is caught and arrested risks the chance of being separated from their kids/family. Multiply the arrests by the amount of time the courts hand out and you can set your people back decades.
Each action carry's a ripple that affects everyone in that neighborhood, whether its good or bad. You should be happy to have so many people on the siccness voice their concern on rash retaliation. And also your an idiot.
You are missing the COMPLETE POINT of what I have been saying. Never have I EVER advocated or encouraged riots or destruction, nither am I anti-establishment. What I have talked about is , first off, the HISTORY of riots. Like it or NOT it brings attention to issues as wrong and devistating as they can be. On every news station from Fox and bill o riley to Anderson Cooper on CNN they are talking about whats happning and Why the youth and the bay area is so mad. What is funny however is that they are not focusing on how "dumb" the riots were but rather WHY they happend. We cant change what happend but we CAN change the future. So what are YOU doing to do that?
If we focus on the ROOT of the problem then we do not have to even have this conversation about MY comments. Go out there and HELP THE YOUTH. I am so sick and tired of people COMPLANING about how bad these kids are out there but ask them to donate a saturday morning , ask them to donate a few dollars...Do you know how many NOs I get. Fuck that. BE there for the youth , and I dont know you so I am not saying you arnt but I bet you HALF you on here who are arguing with me are not.
And THATs why I made the comment on Gangsta Rap. You can glorify music that talks about shooting each other, mobbin, sellin dope, and knockin niggas down and God knows what Else and then you act appalled
when the youth act out like that. So Be consistent with what you support. If you dont want these youth out here bustin shit up dont support the music that does it- or better yet be involved in their lives to a point that they can separate entertainment from real life. And Yall can be so MAD about inanimate objects being harmed..Where are all the posts that shows your anger when we are out here KILLING each other?
For damn near 12 page or how ever long this thread is we have focused on the effects of the riot. Try to understand WHY They happened and WORK backwards to SOLVE THE PROBLEM. So If you think the sarcasm in my statement makes me an idiot- shit past me the dunce cap.
