Hey longde?? Why down vote
the comment??....Are you appalled at the mention of fruits and meats?? Or that the flavor of the caps and explanation marks could be misconstrued as support for tsome, invisible and non-existent racist sentiments, hence, had you wished you had not even have to read it?? Burn a book and follow the links drifter, further explanation is needed to adequately ascertain the actual scope, intent, and motivations for this "hate crime"<<<<(newspeak bullshit vernacular of Big Brother) you can best bet it will be used as a model for what is "appropriate" and "unacceptable" in the form of some new laws in California and beyond....
This shit escapade should not have sparked protest, but a simple call out into the street and an ass-kicking to the douchebags who thought it would be funny.

He looks to do anything for money. His website is very "white" worded, like a parody, almost like a Borat.

Internet personality “Jiggaboo Jones” of Las Vegas, who gave his real name yesterday as Nipsey Washington, said the Feb. 15 event drew about 250 people, including Filipinos, whites and African-Americans. He would not say where the party was held.....
...
Invitations posted on Facebook labeled the event the “Compton Cook Out” and included a photograph of Washington, a profane, self-styled comic. He said he has appeared at similar house parties in the San Diego area since 2005.

He said some partygoers at the recent event smeared black makeup on their faces and ate watermelon. Others donned baggy pants and gold-colored jewelry as part of a “ghetto” theme.

>> ^Psychologic:
Would it have changed the situation if he were injured by an inadvertently defective bike?


If the filmmaker just put a bike out and waited for it to be stolen and then the bike fell apart without having been sabotaged by the filmmaker, then yeah, I'd probably hold the filmmaker blameless (though I'd wonder what the original purpose of the setup was).

If the thief got hurt because the bike had a dangerous factory defect that injured him seconds after he stole the bike, I would say that in a just world he should still be able to sue the bike company to get reimbursed for his injuries.

I suspect no court would hear the case, especially because he's a poor black kid from Compton who stole a bike, but I don't really think that his crime or his social status should mean he's got any less of a legal standing than some rich white kid who got the bike as a birthday present and got hurt by the same defect.

I wonder why the guy from Compton is a thief and stole the bike and the people from Newport Beach didn't?

Ya, pranks get played on normal, non-criminal types all the time. I don't see why setting up a bike thief for some hilarity is any less funny. I take it when you watched candid camera or someone creeps up behind you and says BOO you wouldn't have the same type of righteous indignation. I mean sociopathic behavior? Really? I would wager that theft is more against society then some humor at their expense.

Your comments are just like the objection of the receptionist from liar liar. Where the thief falls in from a sky light, lands on a knife and sues the homeowner and wins. I don't want to live in your world.

Pseudo-vigilantism? Pseudo-vigilantism technically refers to controversial cases of self-defense, of which this has nothing to do with. Nor is this Neo-vigilantism which refers to bounty hunting and lynchings. No, this isn't any type of illegal law enforcement at all. I don't think this word means what you want it to mean. You are trying to make a stronger sounding case by using flowery words.

"and get a rope". This is text book straw man argumentation. No one is suggesting hanging as a form of punishment for bike theft, though in my neck of the woods you are liable to get shot if you mosey up onto someones property and take something.

"Compton angle is so contrived" Going somewhere with high crime rates isn't contrived. It is right next to New beach, so it was a pretty close spot if you know the area.

Personally, I wanted to see some type of spring mounted groin eradication device. That would be schweet!

The kids are not dedicated bike thieves. The situation that is set up is completely contrived and morally gray in my book. The protagonist just put an unattended bike haphazardly on a random street corner for a few hours. Nobody does that. It's a completely unrealistic situation. I could lace a 50 dollar bill with the flu virus, and then find a sidewalk in a poor trailer park or ghetto and have the same effect. I hate it when police try to entrap people, and I like it even less when regular citizens try to get into that act.

From the title, the hostility of the viewer is supposed to be towards dedicated bike thieves; the kind that from my memory prey in parks and college campuses (or beaches) and cut bike chains. The loser of a filmmaker probably spent hours combing the places where bike thieves usually prey, with no luck. So, he found a poor neighborhood, and abandoned his bike there. Even then, it still takes a while before the kids actually take the bait.

How do you know what the sabotage of the bike would do? Neither you nor the filmmaker are certified sabotage engineers. The injury it would cause is unpredictable. In my book, injuring a human being weighs more on the scale of justice than stealing a bicycle.

Right they're not career bike thieves. It's just their hobby along with building ships in bottles. This was quite simply a prank...and a prank that you can be sure the victim deserved more than most other pranks. The bike wasn't set up to disassemble and the brakes weren't cut so there's really nothing the prankster did to put their lives at risk. He even made it so they can't ride fast.
All of that though, doesn't even matter. So what if you bring cops into it? You think the bike thief would rather meet up with a cop that'll make him do community service, pay fines, or worse yet, do time? Hell no, he'd prefer to fall on his ass and be laughed at compared to your alternate solution to sting bike thieves.
Also, I hate how you make stealing bikes seem like it's a mistake anybody could make now and again.>> ^longde:
Nothing to do with race in my case, and everything to do with reckless pseudo-vigilantism. If the filmmaker put a tracer on the bike and then confronted the thief with some cops, I wouldn't have a problem with the concept. But this way, he can hurt not only the would-be thief, but innocent people who don't expect to have to dodge an out of control bicycle.
Plus the whole Compton angle is so contrived. If you abandon a bike in a busy intersection for hours, what do you expect but someone will pick it up. Those kids are not the 'career' bike thieves the cameraman is supposed to be targeting.

Now everybody wants to know the truth about a brother named quik
I come from the school of the sly, wicked and the slick
A lotta people already know excatly where it's at
Cause it's the home of the jackers and the crack
(compton) yeah, that's the name of the hometown
I'm goin down in the town where my name is all around
The suckers just be havin a fit, and that's a pity
But i ain't doin nothin but (claimin my city)
See, my lyrics i'm doublin up and provin to suckers that i can throw
I'm passin a natural ten or four or six or eight before i go
Yes, i'm definitely freestylin, all the while still profilin
Never a trickster, dj quikster steals the show
So now that's how i'm livin
I do as i please, you see
A younger brother that's up on reality
Cause everybody knows you have to be stompin
If you're born and raised in compton


Now compton is the place where the homeboys chill, you see
But then i found that it wasn't no place for me
Cause way back in the day somebody musta wanted me to quit
Because they broke in my house and cold stole my shit
They musta thought that i was gonna play the punk role
Just because my equipment got stole
But i ain't goin out like no sucker-ass clown
They found they couldn't keep a dope nigga down
So here's some bass in your face, muthafucka silly sucker-
Ass clocker, now you're duckin, cause you can't stop a brother
Like the quiksta, because i'm true to the game
You're lame, and things ain't gonn' never be the same
Cause a nigga like the quik is takin over
I really don't think i should have to explain
It, oh yeah, i'm a dog, but my name ain't rover
And i'm the kinda nigga that's feelin no pain
Sometimes i have to wear a bullet-proof vest
Because i got the 'cpt' sign written across my chest
A funky dope brother never ceases to impress
My name is dj quik, so you can fuck the rest
I'm comin like this, and i'm comin directly
Cause suckers get dain-bramaged if i'm doin damage quite effectively
Rhymin is a battlezone, and suckers have no win
Cause i'm a veteran from the c-o-m-p-t-o-n
Kick it

It's like Blazing Saddles, if the Sheriff was from Compton.

err .. no .. I thought you just got rubbed out of a discount genie bottle.
This guy annoys me. You're a long way from Compton, Asa. If you need to add "the comic" to the end of your name, you're just not funny.
I am looking forward to Avatar regardless.


Ironically the fact that he wasn't awesome at being funny made his geek cred seem far more legit. There's either lack of talent or genius at work here... or both.

..psyched to see this movie.

I was waiting for soldier "Buck" Compton to have his Bastogne helmet scene... and it delivered!
