The billionaire owner of Washington, DC's NHL and NBA teams has decided to move their home base to Virginia seemingly due to a child's loud rapping.

Ted Leonsis announced last month that he will be moving the Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards out of its current home - Capital One Arena in downtown DC - to a newly developed arena in the DC suburb of Alexandria, Virginia.

Virginia State lawmakers have approved the funding and the plans to build an arena in the city's Potomac Yard Neighborhood, according to the Washington Post.

Despite the mayor announcing a $500 million funding for a renovation of Capital One Arena, many believe that the reason for the movie is due to the blaring loud music outside his office caused by a man and two kids.

David Halmon, his 11-year-old son J-Money and his other son have been rapping in front of the arena at ear-splitting volume, using a pair of loudspeakers and an amplifier, causing issues for residents and businesses in the area for the last seven years.

Howard Marks, who lives in a condo building in the area, told the Washington Post that he paid more than $6,000 to soundproof his unit.

Before deciding to do so, he said he and his partner 'could hardly watch TV or could hardly talk to each other without raising our voices.'

However, Halmon told the Post that 'they tried to drive us out' and that Leonsis offered him a deal 'to not be right here' but he did not agree.

In early December, the father was arrested and charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine.

He was sent to jail for a couple of weeks and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor drug-possession charge, which local described as a 'period of welcome quiet.'

“””In June 2020, Maryland police charged Halmon with a criminal summons including charges of disturbing the peace and disorderly conduct.

At the time, one complainant told the police that the ‘music was so loud that he could not hear himself think.’

As a result, Halmon received six months of unsupervised probation.”””

So he was put on probation for disturbing the peace once already. Why can’t they do it again? There must be more to this story.

Snipers? I’m thinking there are a few steps than can be tried before resorting to snipers.

I have observed that the most racially bigoted people I meet have very dark skin.

From LBJ's "Great Society" on it's been all about keeping the blacks, who were doing magnificently on the basis of hard work and earned respect from fellow citizens up to the 1960s in a forced attitude of victim-hood and unfairly oppressed by a ghostly-yet-somehow-real scheme to keep them all "enslaved" through denied avenues that whites supposedly enjoyed from the circumstance of birth.

While trying to connect that to all the poor powerless whites who've been screwed over by the very government sharing their same pigment...I say it's like a race-baitor loved to proclaim: "It's not a Black issue or a White issue...it's a Green issue" (money).

And power.

It usually is after the dust clears and the blood dries.

At what point do the idiots in charge of DC realize that lawlessness and business do not go together?

It’s similar to the situation the British government faced around 1700: having promoted piracy for the past century, it had finally had to beg and coerce the colonial governors to stop supporting piracy, pointing out that where it was going it would soon end all legitimate trade.

Btw, this story is b.s. Leonsis isn’t leaving DC bc of a noise nuisance. He’s getting away from DC.
