Reason First: What Should Young Chop’s Punishment be for Allegedly Starving a Dog?
Young Chop shouldn’t have been arrested for allegedly killing a dog. While this action that violated his probation is cruel, vicious, and reprehensible, the government should do nothing in relation to locking up individuals who abuse animals. Social ostracization ought to be at the forefront for these cases. Like Joe Exotica with tigers, who is serving time partially for animal abuse, Chop with dogs should be shunned by the populace for their neglect and egregious actions. Every charge concerning animal cruelty ought to be dropped. Why? It is because animals don’t have rights. They lack the capacity to ever reason.

Reason First: Playboi Carti Arrested, COVID-19 Made Second Thought for the Time Being
When it comes to rappers and gun and drug charges, they have the power to put a pandemic on the mind’s backburner, momentarily. Playboi Carti received charges for possessing controlled substances and firearms. This is the best news out right now. There’s no word of coughing and sneezing and trying to slice through red tape to get ventilators. This a routine and almost a running gag going on in the hip hop genre.
