Between 300 and 500 people gathered in the street on Melrose and Spaulding avenues, blocking traffic in the roadway, said Los Angeles Police Officer Tony Im....

At one point, dozens of people in the middle of the crowd formed a mosh pit, jumping up and down.

Police were called to the area about 7:20 p.m., and several police cruisers blocked the intersections around the protesters. Shortly before 9 p.m., more police officers were en route to disperse the crowd.

“He was a good boy, with an infectious smile, who loved his mother, and was preparing for college”

How did you know?

“It was a sad, violent ending to a troubled rapper struggling to get his life back on track while awaiting trial for the brutally violent crimes he had been accused of by his ex-girlfriend.”

No, I find a rioter’s skin color makes a PC “reporter” more Orwellian.

I do recall seeing glimpses of videos showing him getting pushed around and slugged onstage. I always thought that was odd. I figured it was an act, invented drama, at least most the time.

Maybe he was the Shia Le Beouf of the Rappers World.
Somebody with an annoying attitude, foul mouth and a ‘punchable’ face. It’s not a nice thing to say, but some people fit that description to a T. In all walks of life.

What’s the point of having that phone there? So he can try to read the lyrics?

Not sure exactly what this is but scenes from National Geographic African pics with tribal members standing barefoot and jumping up and down around raging fire. Oh and do not leave out the neck rings and nose piercings.

Black lives only matter when money or power can be gained from their deaths. Hence, black killing black is ignored daily.

Don’t disperse the crowd. Round them all up and add more charges to what’s likely their already well established “rap” sheet. It’s against the law to block traffic so lock them up.
