A simple class presentation at the board turns into a caught on tape interruption when Alleged Gang Members Force Classmate to Stop Using Blue Ink in front of the whole class. Was it a staged #reach or are they just really about that life???
Many are saying it was in #facts the teacher who was under pressure, but looking over the tape and them calling out his first name repeatedly (that could be nothing too), its leaning toward the Alleged Gang Members Force Classmate to Stop Using Blue Ink. The student, or rumored teacher–was in the middle of a math class presentation when he was stopped and questioned about the color ink he was using on the board.
The Source reports the Alleged Gang Members Force Classmate to Stop Using Blue Ink and pressed him to “turn the blue ink to red.” You can hear multiple students chiming in “is it blue???” as the one student actually walks up to board to confirm:
Gang protocol takes precedent over an otherwise simple classroom interaction… “What is that?” Another student can be heard in the background saying “Why is it in blue? He tells his classmate, “Erase all of that,” and begins to erase the blue markings on the board. The alleged gang member walks away and tells him to “Do it correctly.”
…The alleged gang member responds by throwing up a sign and says, “Su-Wu,” a reference commonly used by the Bloods.”
…(SMH) Watching the Alleged Gang Members Force Classmate to Stop Using Blue Ink one might still not be sure if this was real or not–but claims that the young white man/student/teacher at the board was “in fear of his life” (great reason to change markers). The conclusion? He switched to black ink (SMH), and all was right in the world. Clearly we’re somewhere between how Snoop remembers full-on gang violence we used to see but still a long ways from the likes of the young man who was *slapped* and humiliated by his father for even thinking about joining a gang. “We bang for books, education!!!”–yea, a long way from that…
Depending on your people reading skills, where you grew up or where you went to school you might have seen worse and be able to tell…but go ahead and check the vid, see the specs for yourself! Is it a #reach or nah???
