Charge him to the full extent
Notice the use of the word " riot".
And many re blacks…..ypung? BLACKS
Blacks blacks and more blacks. Young?
Braindead youth following a Braindead YouTube influencer.
A recipe for disaster in America.
Not in my small town!🇺🇸
Nothings worse than January 6th the kid thought he was really gonna giveaway PlayStations n it got out of hand the kids didn’t know how to act
I think he planed this
How sad. The hordes of ignorance are getting larger and larger, infected by so-called influencers.
Why were the police-men on horses can anyone explain?
He knows his fanbase is a bunch of weirdos & morons, what was he expecting LOL
Mostly peaceful riots. Nothing to see here.
Remove the BLACKS from the equation and you have peace and harmony.
Ahh… the democrats’ dream come true. Their voter base clambering for video games instead of work boots and college text books. Welcome to your future calamity, democrat voter.
Power of the people
People that hard up for a video game…
Put him in Rikers Island and let the prey have a new meal!
Oh please they were rioting and stealing smashing things stealing food…the usual maga people
Free the guys
All this for free video games I have a idea get a job
Interesting how the influencer is being held in police custody for inciting a riot, yet DJT is allowed to roam free after inciting the insurrection at the capitol in 2021! Police officers were actually killed & maimed! Where’s the justice?
So many black people in one area the police must have been salivating at the thought of the violence there going to dish out if they were white priveledged people they would not have come it stinks of racism and inciting a riot realy wat did trump do on the 6th ohhh yeah thats right hes withe my bad
I'm favored, $270K, profit every 4 weeks!. My life has changed. Silver and Gold I have non, but Thank you Jesus. I will spread the good news to the Nation, and support Gods work and Church!!!..
All this for Gift Cards :}}}
All this for a game???
I'm so glad I didn't grow up in this age of social media insanity.
Not as bad as Chicago lol
So many old haters in the comments lol
Almost all of them live in NYCHA public housing, which is also funded in large part by the federal government. The federal government and state and city allow violent violent blacks to live in the city when Whites can't afford it. All of this is on purpose. They are also injecting blacks into the suburbs now with public housing and HUD to make absolutely sure there is no escape from violent blacks anywhere.
The heavy regulation of building, high taxes, and very pro-tenant laws also make developing housing unprofitable for the most part in New York, so the stock is limited. That is why rent is sky high and so is the cost of buying a unit. And as noted, all the government payments to a certain group in these big housing development projects take up huge amounts of space that could be used for free market housing but is instead violent black thunderdome land. All of this is very deliberate. Nothing accidental.
Put hundreds of teenagers in one place, what do you expect! I’m glad this did not turn out much worse! Thanks to our men and women in uniform for enforcing the law!
gen z, too bad they dont grow up the way millenials did
Is this the future of America?
How come i dont see one Asian kid there lol.
Omg ! Please god do something to these people that love to be in crowds 😊
For those who want to voice an opinion. Please and i mean please, inform yourself on this subject. You are misleading many into believing these lies who have just been made up to tarnish social media and those who actually try to do good for the communities. I do want to say i feel for those effected by the incident, but i don't think it's fair to blame it all on Kai as if he had consciously told people to riot and cause havoc in the city. Sorry if my grammar is not the best i'm not american😂.
😂😂😂😂🤣
