Rapper Young Pappy killed a week after posting video making fun of rival gang

[Sccit]

a week ago, rapper Shaquon Thomas posted a video making fun of a rival gang while pretending to hold a gun in his hands.

"You don't even know how to shoot," Thomas rapped in the video, titled "Shooters."

Early Friday, the 20-year-old Thomas was gunned down about a block from where he recorded that video on the streets of Uptown. It's an area where three street gangs -- the Conservative Vice Lords, the Gangster Disciples and the Black P Stones -- have been locked in a long-running feud. Thomas was a Gangster Disciple, according to police.

Around 1:35 a.m. Friday, he was with a friend in the 4800 block of North Kenmore Avenue when a gunman walked up and started shooting, authorities said. Thomas was hit twice in the back and taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 3:01 a.m.

It was at least the third time someone had tried to kill Thomas in the last year and a half, according to police. The other two times, innocent bystanders died.

• In February 2014, a masked gunman opened fire at a McDonald's restaurant at Pratt Boulevard and Clark Street. Markeyo Carr, 17, who had grabbed a few bucks from his mother before heading to the McDonald's, was shot in the head and collapsed in the driveway. Thomas and two other teens were wounded.

• In July, a man fired shots in the 1300 block of West Devon Avenue and hit Wil Lewis in the back and the head as he waited for a bus. The 28-year-old was about to start a new job as a photographer. He was killed less than a mile from his home.

Investigators suspect all three shootings stemmed from gang rivalry. A law enforcement source said Thomas may actually have been shot at other times, too.

Thomas has posted several rap videos under the name Young Pappy. In them, he raps about shooting gang rivals.

In a video titled "Homicide" posted in April, he raps "we pop out at night but you can still get smoked at noon. ... Head shots rolling up on the dead ops (opposition). I don't lack, I got my gat (gun)."

In the video posted a week ago, Thomas raps, "Gotta a whole lotta shooters on the squad, gotta squad for the shooters. ... If I catch an op, I'm smokin' them."

Thomas had several arrests on his record. Most of them were for misdemeanors, like criminal trespassing, reckless conduct, theft and marijuana possession.

In 2013 he was convicted of felony weapon possession and sentenced to two years of probation. But Cook County court records show he violated that probation and was sentenced to one year in prison.

In January he was arrested and charged with felony marijuana possession and misdemeanor reckless conduct. According to a police report, Thomas was found with about 20 grams of marijuana with an estimated street value of $200.

Most recently he was among roughly 30 people charged after a SWAT team was involved in a five-hour standoff at his home in the 6300 block of North Lakewood Avenue in the Edgewater neighborhood. Court records show he was charged with disorderly conduct and marijuana possession, both misdemeanors.

Police reported no one in custody in his shooting Friday morning.

Hilarious.

It wasn't until I was in Greece for a year when I really realized how pathetic the street gang lifestyle of North America really is. You have all these countries in the world with actually zero opportunities to get a head  for the people living in them yet they can still manage to find a way to not kill each other or turn into slime.

Street crime in the US is not a socio-economic problem or a race problem. It's a intelligence problem and a psychosis problem. Anyone with an IQ over 100 that feels he can't make it in the US is suffering from dementia.

Says the guy privileged enough to go to Greece ( where I am aware of the economic hardships there also) ... You got a pass, that's not the same as being a permanent resident... Go back to Greece n help end their social economic problems if you can't see the problems that keep people trapped in the u.s..... Its more than a mindset... Its a living breathing reality... One must adapt to ones environment if one is to maneuver their way through the harsh realities of life on the poverty line... Have you ever been hungry, n force fed false perceptions of what it is to eat?

Well save for your cruise trip to Greece, have you been to or read about or seen any information about any other civilizations of the world besides America or there? I'm gonna go ahead and call bullshit on your assertion there buddy. There are savage criminal subcultures on every continent of the world (maybe not Antarctica), where there is ruthless killings on the same street as prosperity. Even Greece has organized crime cartels traffic in Afghan heroin and will kill anyone who tries to intercede. Do the knowledge.

If you were drunk when you wrote that shit I get it, and no worries.

I wasn't the priveleged guy who went on a tour to Greece. I saved slowly to be able to go and I'm still in debt. I only visited one island and that was yo see an aunt of mine.

For the most part I was living in the heart of the centre of Athens. Not a lot of Greeks in that part; Afghans, Egyptians, Albanians, Bulgarians, Gypsies and Africans. And a lot of stray dogs.

I'd be out in the streets from 4 to to 5 am. It's a late night city. A lot of drug deals. But not a lot of drug related murders. And you never think that if I mention this guy in a song he will kill me.

People are out of work but they're still civil.

And I'm not saying nowhere is as bad as America. I'm saying that nowhere else has it as good as America and still acts as stupid as the American Street gangs do.

[Shallow]

FYI. I don't get drunk or high ever. It's my choice to stay sober and enlightened at all times to help me defend against Babylon. Maybe if Young Pappy and his killer chose the same path they'd both be ok today as well.
