Lord, I’m coming before you tonight and asking you to give me the power you gave Jamie Foxx when he finished. Doug Williams’ entire career. Apparently I woke up today in 2006 because a series of recent car cases prompted an Illinois lawmaker to car theft to be banned.

According to ABC 7, Democratic State Representative Marcus Evans blamed these carjackers are not due to increasing inequality, a historical lack of jobs and predominantly black communities, or even the economic downturn resulting from the pandemic.

Nope. It’s the fault of a franchise that has not even seen a new entry in almost 8 years.

Yes, it makes sense.

car theft and other violent video games come to the minds of our young people and maintain the normality of car hijacking, “Evans told ABC 7.” Car hijacking is not normal and car hijacking must stop. ”

First the fuck of it all: Nigga, you’re late. Grand Theft Auto V is the best-selling game of the past decade, with a 130 million copies in the houses of people across the country. You do not prevent anyone from playing this game who does not have it yet.

Second: tell me Marcus, how are you going to ban the game? You know what, let me entertain this silly idea for a moment. Say they’m successful and take the game off the shelves in Illinois. What are you going to do with digital sales?

Are you telling me that the state of Illinois is willing to spend the time, money and technical knowledge to block the game from PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Epic Games and the Rockstar store window? I worked for the state government, and I know full well that the donkeys that use Windows XP were not built for this life.

Thirdly the fuck of all: Do you no longer have important things to do? We are in the midst of a pandemic, with a feces of vaccines. Even when it finally ends, we will have an economic, and most likely, psychological outburst that we will have to address.

A better use of Evans’ time would be to draw up recovery plans that ensure Chicago city center is not left out of the process, or to address the underlying conditions that lead to people being desperate enough to commit crime. commit.

Instead, he pulls up a few cats that he has warmed up again, of which he clearly knows nothing. It’s stupid, a waste of everyone’s time, and as a black man, Evans should know better by now.

Finally, please come and get someone.
