Rap song blamed for gang shootout
Houston Chronicle ^

Posted on 07/19/2006 3:39:12 PM PDT by Snickering Hound

A rap song sparked a nightclub shooting between rival gangs that had declared a truce to celebrate a birthday, leaving two men dead and four injured, police said. The song — Put Yo Hood Up by Lil' Jon & The East Side Boyz — urges listeners to flash hand signs for their neighborhood and confront rivals. It was played before Sunday's shooting, said Deputy Chief Alfredo Saldaña

Sounds like a well thought out, reasonable approach to problem solving.

"...urges listeners to flash hand signs for their neighborhood and confront rivals."

Just what we need in areas where barbarism is already overcoming civil society.

Hi All-

The miniscule intelligence of these knuckleheads must be quite amazing to witness.

The police could drive through neighborhoods playing that song on loudspeakers.
