Snoop Dogg Just Representin'

The latest arrest of rapper "Snoop Dogg" should be no surprise to anyone. He has a long arrest record and has been getting away with criminal activity for some time. His most recent arrest should lead to jail time but, as usual, it seems he will dodge jail for this offense.

Snoop, real name Calvin Broadus, was arrested in Heathrow Airport in London for assaulting police officers. He was with a mob of about 30 people. The "Dogg" was taken into custody with 6 others. Allegedly, he and his crew went nuts when denied entrance into a business lounge at the terminal. Whisky bottles were thrown by the "classy" thugs.

As usual, such a low-down act committed by rappers and their associates should be expected. Their "act" is all about intimidation, trashiness, hatred and evil. Snoop is just following in the footsteps of countless rappers with arrest records and general disrespect for the law.

He has been arrested as far back as the early 90's. He is a reported gang associate of the Crips and has been locked up for drug possession, firearm possession and even as an accomplice to a murder for which he was found innocent. His car has been riddled with bullets, as well. Not exactly your typical American lifestyle.

Reportedly, British Airways has permanently banned him and crew from ever flying with the airline again. This is a good start. England should ban him next. Why would you want this thug in your country to begin with? It cannot lead to anything good. Certainly the injured officers can attest to that. What is truly disturbing about this incident is the acceptance of such a guy like Snoop. America has totally accepted him as some sort of clown who is really not so bad. He even appeared on a television ad with former Chrysler Chairman, Lee Iacocca. Talk about sick.

Look at the perverted comparison between Snoop and someone like ex-baseball pitcher, John Rocker. Rocker has become a total outcast in every way for saying some bad things about New York City and immigrants. He was booed in countless stadiums and stations like ESPN still try to smash him to bits. The Dogg on the other hand is greeted beautifully all the time on countless radio and television stations including ESPN. This despite a long criminal record and spreading negativity. Obviously, his race has something to do with it as any criticism of a black "celebrity" is highly frowned upon by the politically-correct crowd. No NAACP condemnations, either.

America is in decline as the horrors of political-correctness, lowering of standards, greed and now, the acceptance of a rap culture whose contributions of violence and crassness are viewed as "normal." Why England or any other nation would want this in their backyard is beyond comprehension. America is paying the price for it. Does the rest of the world want to pay also?
