Because they looked similar? How many people had guns pointed at them because of this mistake?
Yup, that shit culture is part of the problem.
Wow!! What a piece of Trash.
Yah, I am sure you wouldn't be alarmed if you walked outside and saw a gang waving guns around. I am sure that's the status quo in the suburb you live in.I see your world view doesn't extend past your bedroom.
Don't forget all those scary black people playing death metal, praising Satan and cumming blood. Oh wait, that's mostly white people.

It continually amazes me that some very wealthy people have no shame about getting for free things for which normal people pay.Ironic, but those with the most wealth and power tend to pay the least while the inverse is also true. I'm reminded of when I worked in an Army Difac when you better believe the PvT's had to pay, but when Mr. 1 star shows up he didn't pay jack. He did have a subordinate that was supposedly supposed to stand in line and pay for his lunch on his behalf, but didn't and no one running the dining facility was going to call him out on it.
Those at the top just have a different set of rules to play by.
What on Earth is wrong with the way he is dressed? Looks like jeans, a tee shirt, and some sort of maroon shirt or hoodie that either he removed or the cops made him remove. In any case, it's (supposedly) a free country. As long as he can prove his identity and meets the merest standards of decency, it's his money. And his clothing. And his choice.How many People Dress like a Piece of Trash while withdrawing a large sum of $$ from a Bank??
But it's a video - same thing as a movie, or a video game. It isn't real, it's entertainment. If some choose to be motivated by it to do bad things, that's on them, just like a person who is inspired to murder an abortion clinic worker by an agitprop movie or someone who guns down strangers based on how much fun they have in Grand Theft Auto.If you think the Behavior depicted in that Video (Guns, Money ,Violence ) is OK--
You have Rocks in your Head.
Not really the point though. If it's his money, then he is entitled to spend it in whatever form he wishes.
I agree that $200k in cash is not my preferred transaction either. But it IS legal currency, and it IS a $200k automobile sale - aren't too many of those. I suspect the dealer will quite happily live with the inconvenience.I didn't dispute that it's his choice even if it is extremely unwise and unnecessary.
Though were I on the receiving end of that in my business I would't accept the cash due to risk. The number of currency related problems (including people getting hurt, kidnapped, or even killed) we've had over the years erases any romance over taking hard cash. Wire transfer or a cashier's check is the only way to go for that large of a transaction. Really looking forward to the day when we can go totally cashless.

Imagine if you saw a dog viciously maul someone nearly every day since you were a kid. Now what do you think your reaction would be if one day you came across a large dog that snarled at you? You are going to shit your pants. If you are armed, you very well might even just start unloading the gun.
How about a more real world example. Animals are sometimes abused by their owners. When this happens the animals become scared of people. Sometimes these animals are taken from their original owners, and given to new people. However, they never fully trust humans again. They learned to fear people.
The same thing has happened within our society. These images have warped our ability to properly judge the threat of a situation.
A prime example of this would be with the cops. Do you really think all cops are just inherently racists? Does that really make any sense in this day and age? No, they go into a situation, see a black person, and immediately there threat assessment of the situation increase by 5 points. This too is a learned behavior based on what they have seen.
I agree, it is a shit culture. My son has purchased into it 100%. Dumb fucking middle class white kid wearing pants half down, smoking dope, snorting coke, failing 4 grades, trying to rap and talking ghetto. I LOATHE THE GANGSTA CULTURE. You only get cred if you fail courses and do drugs. Anything less and you are wannabe.
gangsta culture and a quality education are not mutually exclusive, your kid just fell in with the wrong gangstas.
if he got pulled over a block from the bank they would have using Civil forfeiture.
I was big into drug culture a few years ago, and the most hardcore drug users were math and engineering students. Engineering students also drink a lot.I agree, it is a shit culture.

Jeez, that's rough. Was he dropped on his head a lot as a baby? Did he have an idiot friend pierce his nose an inch in front of his ears?I agree, it is a shit culture.

Yeah . . . No, they pretty much are mutually exclusive. You could listen to the music/watch the videos, but embracing and living within the culture and its values requires disdaining a formal education in favor of "keeping it real" and not "acting white". (Which is doubly amusing when the kid IS white.)gangsta culture and a quality education are not mutually exclusive, your kid just fell in with the wrong gangstas.
Weird, it was exactly the opposite when I was in school. The stoners/partiers majored in liberal arts, psychology, or sociology.I was big into drug culture a few years ago, and the most hardcore drug users were math and engineering students. Engineering students also drink a lot.
Various studies seem to confirm my observations:

There's no harm in identifying with a group as long as the person stays grounded in reality. It's not like every person listening to country music owns a horse. Not every person listening to rap shoots people.
