Atlanta rapper encourages people to use paintballs instead of actual bullets, if one must satiate the need to shoot firearms.\u00a0 The message was seemingly intended to curb violence<\/em>; except when some dickheads unleashed a torrent of paintballs on a bunch of people at a public gas station, one enraged 15-year old fired back \u2013 with a real firearm.\u00a0 And of course, a toddler was inadvertently struck and killed<\/a> in the completely unnecessary and preventable fracas, and so now a child is dead and a teenager is in all likelihood going to prison for a long time and the people shooting paintballs who started the whole incident are nowhere to be found.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hashtag Atlanta not the TV show<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a little difficult who really should be responsible for the root of this whole incident.\u00a0 On one hand, we have some c-list rapper using his social media reach to even put the wise idea into the heads of little impressionable wannabe thugs that shooting guns is okay as long as it\u2019s with paintballs and not actual bullets.\u00a0 On the other hand, the dumbasses he influences aren\u2019t really his responsibility, and he\u2019s not the one who fired at actual people, since his own genius video documentation of him vandalizing things were usually inanimate objects.<\/span><\/p>\n

I think the seeds to why I felt like writing about it is simply the fallacy of the intention of suggesting paintballs over bullets; which is basically why shoot anything at all<\/em><\/strong>?\u00a0 In what world outside of the Middle East are people afflicted with the urge to need to shoot shit to where a suggestion of paintballs over bullets would even be made in the first place?\u00a0 Look, I know coming from America there\u2019s a lot of irony in that statement, but still, there\u2019s something seriously wrong with the idea of if you must shoot guns <\/em>is even a perceived thing in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Life isn\u2019t like a Mentos commercial; any idiot who gets the idea that shooting shit is okay as long as they\u2019re using paintballs isn\u2019t going to go shoot up whatever things they want, and when confronted, brandish a paintball gun, and everyone who\u2019s had their shit vandalized or been struck by paintballs isn\u2019t going to just laugh it off and move on.\u00a0 No, they\u2019ll still press charges, they\u2019ll still look for justice, and in the aforementioned story, they might actually retaliate.\u00a0 With real guns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine if a rapper made a video about minding their own business and adhering to the law.\u00a0 But they did it in a manner where it looked illicit and illegally cool, but it still worked at getting impressionable young people into wanting to be just like them<\/em>, and then society started improving as a result of it.\u00a0 That would be some shit.<\/span><\/p>\n

But instead, it can\u2019t possibly be a surprise when people with followings make videos of themselves doing stupid shit and the dumbasses of the world feel emboldened and inspired to do the same, except to way more severe and extreme collateral damages and consequences.\u00a0 Next thing you know, some bozo will release a video about how the sucker punch is totally okay, as long as you\u2019re wearing a 24 oz. glove so you don\u2019t kill someone, but then when some rando plebe does it, but the person they didn\u2019t <\/em>knock out gets back up and then beats the shit out of them to death and then goes to prison over it, who\u2019s really going to be responsible for the stupidity of people?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
