Those who have joined the "game" of their own free will should be governed by a different set of rules than the rest of us. Whether those rules are good or bad is neither here nor there. They are what they are. We need to remember that once you operate outside the law, you should not expect those same laws to intervene in your aid should you feel you were slighted, robbed etc. However, I vehemently disagree with those who then try to apply the rules that govern the game to the rest of their community. That, IMHO, is killing us slowly as a society. People who rep the "Stop Snithcing" garbage outside of the game are a blight on our society that should be purged. They do not understand the damage they are responsible for. By "repping" such garbage, they ensure our children will continue to grow up in the most violent, drug infested neighborhoods. They ensure our children grow up to join the game because the romance and fairy tale nature of the game (i.e. the impunity, respect, money) are difficult to ignore if the game is viewed as a natural part of our society. They ensure law and order are deprived from our communities that are already struggling. It is the most disgusting, disrespectful, selfish "movement" I have ever seen. I hope it crashes and burns on its own accord in the near future when people realize how destructive it is. SAVE OUR CHILDREN!

I used to say that alot and even though it may be a factor the fact still remains that people are influenced by what they hear in music. I know alot of people have fine parents but are still drawn into the hiphop influences. Your not going to look to your parents for inspiration on whats 'cool', your going to look to pop culture and if someone like jay-z says he respects the shooter thats gonna have an effect on alot of people, even those 'adults' within hiphop are influenced bysuch statements, hence uncle murdas mixtape title. Essentially if you keep hearing the same msg over and over your gonna start to think its true All these people who say ‘ parents should raise there kids better’ and what not need to wake up and smell the bacon.

The man said he respects the shooter. Which is whack. For the simple fact that cowards are usually behind the trigger. Do you respect the clown who just shot your daughter or mother? Jay is human. He is also capable of whack lyrics from time to time. This is 1 good example. Those lyrics are wack and please quit trying to clear up his lyrics. The man said he respects the shooter.

People doing all the killing don't have no damn permits. Tougher gun laws take guns out the hands of people who use them for protection not illegal activities. I respect the shooter, not the shot.
