Going to Jam 4 Bullets

Tomorrow, as I write this, there will be a concert in Downtown Milwaukee called Jam 4 Peace. For anyone who doesn't live in the city, this concert is "supposed" to be for awareness of violent trends in the inner-city. It was a response to a particularly brutal murder that happened quite a few years ago. So, they made a concert to remember that and other senseless acts of violence. Seems peachy keen? Nah. It turns out that the concert, attended every year by a pack of rowdy teens and adults with nothing better to do, simply exemplifies the very reason it was created in the first place.

I don't listen to rap much anymore. I don't even really know any of the popular artists. I do know that a few of them will be in town for Jam 4 Peace. I'm sure that participating in a music event with lyrics such as "beatin up niggas, fuck them bitches, and makin that money, insert other lyrics about hoodrats, hos, money, barely drivable cars, and pointless beef in here" would seem appropriate at a concert that is supposed to be about peace. I don't want to rail against the music industry in general. I do want to point out what happens after the concert.
Now, the crazy thing is that a lot of folks don't go to Jam 4 Peace for the music. That seems insane but they go for the inevitable fights after the concert is over. Fights at a Jam 4 Peace concert? You better believe it. It will be in the news after it's over and leaders will come together as they do every year and try to figure out ways to curb the violence which won't really lead to much.

I decided to rename the concert with a few ideas. If you have any more, please leave them.

• Jam 4 Bullets
