So it appears this was a situation and outcome of his own making. Of course, that's never stopped the gibs-me-dat segment of the population from protesting and lamenting the loss of another aspiring rapper who was turning his life around.
I suspect the lack of outrage, lack of riots, lack of looting & burning is not due to any sudden onset of common sense. Instead I believe you are right - the instigated, bought-and-paid-for outrage has served it's purpose. Back to business as usual, ignoring minority deaths which occur all too regularly in places like Chicago and other democrat run h**l holes.
The details don’t matter. BLM and Anifa will torch the cites over this??? Will they let Joe feel the burn!!!!
