Alabama BB Player Arrested

[JohnWardForever]

I am all for judgement, by the proper entities at the proper time in the proper venue.

No Judgement involved . The Guy shot into the Girl's car and killed Her. That's easy as it gets. You people will argue with the truth till you are Blue. Pathetic attempts at making a pointless point.

Unreal and sickening. I'm in the camp where 0% is blamed on some nebulous idea of culture. Culture didn't pull out it's weapon and kill an innocent person.

Culture sets the notion that women are objects only for men to have and use at their disposal. When you have rap songs that denigrate women in lyrics over and over, you can see the connection to this Alabama player feeling insulted when she rejected his advances and allows the words to come out of his mouth " do you know who I am"? Totally is a culture thing. Women didn't used to be so disrespected like today.

Agree with this and I also believe we have some of the senseless mass shootings based on the violence coming out of Hollywood and the Gaming enterprises glorifying shooting things up. Same principal. Eventually it becomes normal in a twisted mind.

Evil? ... yes. Guilty? ... uh, not until a court says so. (Innocence is presumed.)
A classic mistake ... believing what you read. I will take that back and apologize if you were a witness to these actions!
For the record, I never argue about the truth. I offer counterpoints to who are making claims about what they think is truth.
I am again reminded, it is difficult to have a reasoned discussion, when the only voice a person can hear is their own opinion.
What I said was ...

I am all for judgement, by the proper entities at the proper time in the proper venue.

Let me be crystal clear on my meaning and expand it:
I am disturbed by those people who are so quick to rush to judgment and have already judged and found someone guilty based on the news and what they read in an article.
I eagerly am looking forward to the case going before a judge and jury and letting the trial play out .... when the guilty is being sentenced and a judgment is rendered. I will be ecstatic if justice has been achieved.
But NOTHING can replace a daughter who has been buried.

Culture is definitely part of the problem, but blaming it on rap music is weak. The culture problem largely lies in young women sexualizing themselves on Tiktok, Instagram, Twitter, Onlyfans...etc..etc. Everything sexualizes women. TV shows, music of all kinds, movies, commercials, but largely women themselves. I'm not blaming this young ladies murder on women, but rap music didn't do it either. The "Do you know who I am?", has more to do with sports culture. Fans put these kids on a pedestal as early as 14-15 years old, helping to create these inflated egos. There is definitely a culture problem, but it isn't "rap" culture. Rap culture isn't what has 14 year old catholic school girls sending nudes and asking for pics. Respect for women starts in the home. Too many young men aren't being raised to respect women, and the young women aren't being raised to respect themselves.

I’m going to disagree with that last point. Women have the right to vote, are breaking into new ground as far as jobs, politics, etc. If you want to make a point that kids are more entitled and dumber than ever I would agree there to an extent.

Google any song of any of the last 5 rap artist who have been killed in the last year and read the lyrics---just pick any song. The way women are portrayed and talked about is perverted beyond sanity. Yes, women can vote and have more job opportunities, but that has nothing to do with how they are demeaned in todays culture and society by some.

I understand your point about cultural effects. Yes, I agree. What I don't agree with is lifting responsibility from the individual who ACTED upon evil thoughts. We are ALL influenced. Those who decline to act get a pass. Those who DO act should get justice.

When we see a violent act like this shooting, you have to ask how a person gets to adulthood and not know or care how precious life really is. A lot comes from anger in kids growing up where there is no dad in the home and was not around to help guide them or provide any support for them. When I grew up in the 60's, if you made a baby, you had an obligation to help raise it at minimum. Not that way today.

Lots of truth in this. Our society is becoming unraveled and this is one big key.
