Young Thug: How rap lyrics put a rapper behind bars

Was a Grammy-winning rapper singing about crimes he committed or simply expressing himself as an artist? New legislation in the US sets guardrails on the use of lyrics as evidence in criminal cases.

Under the alias Young Thug, Jeffery Lamar Williams, 31, has sold more than 2.5 million albums and been hailed as “”the 21st century’s most influential rapper”.

But prosecutors in his native Atlanta are not impressed. In May, Mr Williams was arrested on racketeering and gang-related charges and has been in jail since. This month, he was denied bond for a third time.

Prosecutors allege that Young Stoner Life (YSL) Records, the rap label Mr Williams founded, is the front for an organised crime syndicate responsible for “75 to 80% of violent crime” in the city.

Interesting case.

Vega accused King of spreading “false statements” about his 35-year law enforcement career to his millions of social media followers in order to get Krasner re-elected.

Indictment exposes ties between Moscow, black nationalist groups, and Antifa.

After years of Russiagate conspiracy theories about how the Russians had somehow rigged the 2016 presidential election using Facebook ads, the Senate Intelligence report awkwardly revealed that the Russian operation had focused most of its attention on black nationalists.

The Senate report revealed that “most of the videos” put out by the Russian IRA troll factory on YouTube “pertained to police brutality and the activist efforts of the Black Lives Matter organization” and found that “no single group of Americans was targeted… more than African-Americans” around “race and related issues”.

Pet Project: BLM Activist Shaun King Used Donor Funds To Buy $40k Thoroughbred Show Dog

TALCUM X

Shaun King’s social justice PAC is going to the dogs. Literally.

Grassroots Law PAC, which the progressive grifter founded to elect soft-on-crime local officials, paid roughly $40,000 since December to the California-based Potrero Performance Dogs, according to campaign finance disclosures. The payments are labeled for “contractor services,” making their purpose difficult to discern. But days after a $30,650 payment in February, King welcomed a “new member of the King family”: an award-winning mastiff bred by Potrero named Marz.

Tekle Sundberg and the anti-racism of Black Lives Matter ghouls

The Black Lives Matter set will exploit any tragedy to further its divisive agenda.

Twenty-year-old Tekle Sundberg met a tragic end last week. Police were called to his Minneapolis apartment block last Wednesday night. Apparently in the grip of an acute mental-health crisis, Sundberg was firing a pistol wildly from inside his apartment. His neighbour, Arabella Foss-Yarbrough, called 911 after several bullets were shot through her apartment walls. She was cooking dinner for her kids, aged two and four, at the time. When the police arrived, Sundberg fired more shots into the hallway, narrowly missing officers. Police evacuated Foss-Yarbrough and her children, moments after more shots had rung out. A six-hour standoff ensued. Sundberg blasted music from his apartment, periodically hanging out of his window and talking gibberish. Police allege he threatened to shoot officers. According to the timeline released by Minneapolis police, he appeared again at his window at around 4.15am, at which point police snipers shot him dead, believing he was brandishing his gun.

Where Are the Parents?

Politicians and policymakers looking to address the youth-crime crisis cannot afford to ignore the question.

The footage shows the teens giggling and recording the slow, brutal assault as if it were casual entertainment. “I just don’t know what’s going on in our city,” Lambert’s niece told Fox 29 Philadelphia. “Where were the parents?”
