Yesterday in
the early evening, gangbangers in the Bronx opened fire on 4
different police precincts. About 20 Crips with AK-47s unleashed
approximately 1,000 rounds in just a matter of frightening,
orchestrated minutes. Almost simultaneously, 20 Crips in DC took part
in similar drive-bys targeting the Capitol building and the White
House. The 10 Crips who shot up the Capitol building were the only
gangbanging combatants killed in the attacks; the rest managed to
drive away. In total, over 40 people were killed and 80 injured in
the attacks. DC Police, secret service agents, by-standers, and two
members of the House of Representatives were among the wounded and
killed. The government has refused to disclose full details of the attacks and has also delayed releasing information of the dead and injured under national security grounds.
An
emotionally moved nation tuned in to the president's speech, where he
promised to drive the fight to the enemy and put the heat up on every
motherfucker menacing the 'hood. The president's moving speech greatly
overshadowed last night's emergency session of Congress following the
early evening attacks. With many members of Congress casually
glancing at blood on the floor and bullet holes in the walls and
windows, legislation targeting automatic weapons passed with complete bipartisan support.
Congress
also passed legislation making it easier for the FBI to issue
national security letters – effectively silencing anyone asked to hand over
information on suspected gangbanging combatants. Further legislation
also facilitates the deployment of drones on gangbanging hotspots.
President 50
Cent told the American people in his speech that he believes the
legislation congress passed at his behest “will make sure that them
motherfuckers don't dare come and start shit up again.” The House of Representatives passed the legislation 533-0, and the Senate
passed the legislation with no abstentions and with only one dissenting voice
from Senator Rand Paul, who in a lengthy diatribe said: “If I'm
working on my car and happen to wear a blue bandanna to protect my
hair, does that mean that the FBI can spy on me with a drone for
suspicion of Crip affiliation? If I go to a coffee shop for my
birthday and all my friends are wearing blue – my favorite color –
does that mean that the CIA can classify us as gangbanging combatants and take us out with a Hellfire missile? Does President 50 believe that he has the
authority to take someone out if they write some rhymes repping the
wrong crew? Would the president have deployed drones on Niggas with
Attitude for writing 'fuck da police?'”
Senator
Paul's opposition to the emergency legislation gained him some
attention on Twitter, to which Senator John McCain responded angrily:
“We're a Judeo-Christian nation and our duty is to prevent these
attacks from happening again. I think that Senator Paul is detached
from reality and is doing the American people a disservice; he's just
entertaining libertarian college kids with gangbanging inclinations.”
President 50
made no mention of the squabble over the new legislation and his
first order of business in the morning was to sign an executive order
authorizing DHS VIPR battalions to indefinitely detain anyone wearing
Crip or associated colors until the end of gangbanging hostilities. DHS secretary Dennis Rodman has taken direct command of an MRAP in the Bronx and promises swift justice.
