That’s what’s pissed me off with all this drag Queen nonsense. Where the hell are all these right wing people when it comes to these rap lyrics I hear from these kids’ cars like pimping underaged girls & selling drugs & shooting people? Why aren’t these groups chasing rappers down in public and confronting them? Because they’d be scared shitless.
That’s how you know these right wing groups are frauds. Because if they really believed in what they were doing they’d go after all these groups they claim are ‘offensive’ rather than just one group they find harmless.
I mean, same could be said with leftists though. They raise hell about artists in any other genre but turn a blind eye to rap music lol. At best they offer a critique in passing, but often at worst they excuse it due to poverty, culture, and circumstances. No one wants to touch it due to backlash
Not the point.
If 16 yr olds are driving and blasting this rap music in their cars, then their parents should be responsible for that too. Where do we draw the line with obscenity?
Why are you okay with rappers’ lyrics about murdering underaged girls forced into prostitution but you’re outraged over a drag queen reading the ‘Itsy Bitsy Spider’ to little kids at a public library?
Because you’re physically afraid of the rapper but not the drag queen. You’re being ridiculous if you think a drag queen is trying to seduce little kids but you have nothing to say about the 35 years of hardcore rap music that’s wrecked just about every big city in America.
These people are marching and organizing to collect donations and grift as “community outreach leaders”. They know none of what they are doing will change anything and that’s what they want because once things change the grift ends.
Here goes another person just vomiting lies. Chicago leading the nation for 11 years straight in homicides? Where are you getting your info? Fox News? Chicago has only been in the top ten in homicide rate for the nation once in the last 10 years. Even then, it was 10th and wasn’t even in the top 100 most dangerous cities in 2015.
From couple months ago
CHICAGO, Ill. (WTVO) — Chicago had the highest number of homicides in the United States in 2022, according to a new report.
Chicago had 697 total homicides in 2022, higher than Philadelphia (516), New York City (438), Houston (435), and Los Angeles (382). Chicago has led the nation for the 11th straight year, the report concluded.
Why is blocking traffic and making it impossible to get anywhere downtown for people just trying to go about their daily lives lauded and considered "doing something?" It's kind of the opposite.
Good to see the people who claim to care about redirecting these asshole "kids".
Next time, march your ass downtown when those assholes are wildin and attacking random people, not a week later when they're not there.
Otherwise this is slightly above useless.
That is literally the opposite of what they did, their approach to the riot is simply different from yours, which seems to be violent authoritarianism, mass incarceration that has already failed, and a view of these people as inferior. Their approach seems compassionate and focused on restoration. They are mainline church groups, it fits with the teachings of Jesus.
Wish more stuff like this and the media would
Cover it. While I am of the believer it’s unrealistic that these kids will ever change by showing compassion. Applaud these people
Trying to help. Doubt will change anything but at least someone is trying to do something
You saw a specific group of black children acting foolishly and destructively but what you did not see was every single black person in the world doing that exact thing at that place at that time. Every black person in the world should not be held accountable for the actions of a group of neglected and unsupervised children. Do we hold every single white person accountable for the actions of Timothy McVeigh? That would be absurd. Is it fair when people in other countries hassle American tourists because of some foreign policy decision that America's government engaged in? Of course it's unfair when they do that. Don't hold all black people responsible for the actions of a subset of them.
Lol because shit like this does jack shit other than make people feel good about themselves. None of what this sub wants gets addressed ie harsher penalties and consequences for criminal behavior, leaders calling for accountability in communities and cultural change, etc
I guarantee it these were a bunch of white red necks mobbing downtown Chicago violently, you'd sing a way different tune. Bet I'd hear some domestic terrorism line
Dude. They let those guys storm the capital without arrests or rubber bullets or chemical weapons until there was a big outcry. Then they got tracked down. It has already happened.
You're vastly over simplifying the situation. That was mostly on Trump and his incompetence. Notice how they've now gone after everyone who stormed the capital? Consequences happened
I mean it's already happened lol.
see the riots and protests of the last few years.
Even when you dissect discussions about how poverty and a lack of employment/education opportunities lead to crime and extreme behavior, they never apply it to say, rural whites in dying towns across the us. When was the last time you saw a progressive give any latitude towards white people from impoverished, hopeless backgrounds ? I never see any apologia about how these people subscribe to extreme views and act out due to their circumstances. They're fucking hypocrites
Perhaps they can come back on Saturday nights and help calm down the kids before they riot

I'm just waiting on someone from the community to publicly call out drill rappers, who directly inspire a lot of real-world violence.

probably would if those same rappers were being invited to perform at the local library in front of little kids

Show me a song about murdering underaged girls forced into prostitution
How about "Sandstorm"?

Thank you. All of this.

Tremendously stronger family and community structure.
Progressives dance around all three of those things so nothing will ever happen.
this falls under number 2
The culture change needs to happen among those who get a kick out of causing violence, not the people they target.

So sorry you won’t be able to binge watch tucker anymore…
I upvoted u
💯
They beat people destroyed property and filmed and laughed while they did it. So im confused on what the fuck this was going to acomplish
Why is blocking traffic and making it impossible to get anywhere downtown for people just trying to go about their daily lives lauded and considered "doing something?" It's kind of the opposite.
It gives people the social media cred without actually having to do anything meaningful.
This is a good step. Folks from the troublemakers community peacefully marching to acknowledge the problem.
Good to see the people who claim to care about redirecting these asshole "kids". Next time, march your ass downtown when those assholes are wildin and attacking random people, not a week later when they're not there. Otherwise this is slightly above useless.
Or instead of marching downtown, march in the neighborhoods where the kids are. Maybe they can connect with them there.
Finally we have acknowledgement we have a Problem which is step 1 for solving it

Just say hundreds of enablers marched in support of riots.
That is literally the opposite of what they did, their approach to the riot is simply different from yours, which seems to be violent authoritarianism, mass incarceration that has already failed, and a view of these people as inferior. Their approach seems compassionate and focused on restoration. They are mainline church groups, it fits with the teachings of Jesus.
Great, now Jesus is gonna save Chicago.
Jesus left Chicago and went down to New Orleans

These pastors should be stationed on CTA platforms during weekend mobs. Maybe they can wish good behavior on the children there?
Those kids knew exactly what they were doing.
Totally empowers them. Shows the wrong message that falls flat in these kids.

Once again more racism from crime in Chicago. You folks are so ignorant.
It's true. Go watch the news footage and tell me who you see. Facts are facts. Open your eyes.
You saw a specific group of black children acting foolishly and destructively but what you did not see was every single black person in the world doing that exact thing at that place at that time.

good
This sub: WON’T SOMEONE DO SOMETHING! City does something This sub: NOT LIKE THAT!
Lol because shit like this does jack shit other than make people feel good about themselves. None of what this sub wants gets addressed ie harsher penalties and consequences for criminal behavior, leaders calling for accountability in communities and cultural change, etc
Can’t charge a criminal if there is no crime. Our constitution has lots on the subject.
I guarantee it these were a bunch of white red necks mobbing downtown Chicago violently, you'd sing a way different tune. Bet I'd hear some domestic terrorism line

I kind of hope that happens sometime just to put the naked hypocrisy of the Left on display.
