It sounds like a failure of the legal system to let her out of jail before trial because she could do it again.. Sucks that all these bars and businesses are going out of business or closing and she’s at home on her couch and this poor guy doesn’t have a wife anymore.
I think the local hip-hop community is doing an amazing job of being a community, displaying perseverance, and unity, and innovation. It seems like a lot of other artists are concerned with the business side of things – or the bottom line being a huge factor in decisions they make – and rightfully so, but the primary objective – or priority – of the hip hop community right now seems to be putting on the best show possible, regardless of the money.. And I think that’s pretty dope.
I agree that it’s an important discussion to have as a “community” that, yes drug use in Charleston is everywhere, all the time. That’s obvious to just about anyone who goes out.. but what are we actually talking about here? This video is the perfect example of the difference of what you say and how you say it. The OP raises some good points.. which is why we are having this discussion.. but the motive is personal, and in my opinion, self serving.. I’m not picking one side or the other – I’m just stating the fact that despite the validity of your argument, if you’re intentions are not pure, it will be obvious and it could discredit what you’re saying. Dude is not a virtuous crusader, he’s a butt hurt guy with a grudge.. Again, just an opinion.. That being said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion .. after all that’s what free speech and democracy is all about. I’m glad we have a forum to discuss these things.
