Is the U.S. attacking artists?

What’s going on with Young Thug and Gunna? Sauce Walka, Lil Durk, and NBA Youngboy both have had people around them getting into trouble. Many American artists have been struck with R.I.C.O. cases. Members of YSL, OTF, TSF, and NBA have been apprehended. It’s been argued that the constitution allows for freedom of speech. Does this freedom of speech come with prosecution immunity? As a part of the arts culture, artists use military like images to promote their music as we see in movies. The entertainment industry allows actors to carry weapons and utilize them in their films. For thousands of years we’ve been educated on the Nobility. 

Notable Noblemen: King Solomon, King David, Pakal, Tupac Amaru, Juan Cowaya, Tutenkhamen, King Samuel, Mansa Musa, Shaka Zulu, Touissaint L’Overture, Napoleon, and Alexander.

Movies have been made with soundtracks similar to the music videos. What is the difference? Artists have had lyrics that have been used to incriminate them. Many have argued this is a violation of their first amendment right. Is it the criminal evidence in real life that’s leading to their prosecution? Gunna was a YSL artist, and many have labeled him a snitch. Did he snitch? 

In his plea deal he was seen and heard agreeing that YSL is a gang. This has led many to label him a snitch. Were they doing something for furtherance of the gang or to receive a higher rank? 

Example 1: John Doe kills Bill Doe to claim and occupy another territory. That is an example of furtherance of the gang.

Example 2: John Doe is a low level member of a gang. Robert Doe tells John if he robs 5 stores he can move up in rank and receive more compensation.

These gang related charges add more time to a defendant due to gang activity. An individual crime may still count as a charge; however, the included gang charge may not.
