Man Cited For Singing Rap Song

[concerned]

BROOKSVILLE, FL -- A 19-year-old was taken to jail Sunday evening for singing the profane words of a rap song when children were around.

The children's mother, Amy Churchill, called Hernando County sheriff's deputies and complained that Christopher Holder was yelling profanities as he walked with two juveniles on Gordon Loop in Brooksville. Churchill said that her two children did not need to hear such language, according to an offense report.

Holder told deputies he did nothing wrong and was actually singing the words to a song by rapper Lil' Boosie.

He even told deputies that “he did not believe children needed to hear [that kind of] language,” the report says.

Still, Holder was arrested for disorderly conduct and taken to the Hernando County Jail.

Hurray, hurray for those Deputies!

I'm not a "kid" or am I a prude but I do take offense to hearing in public that music with the filthy language.
It's about time that issue was addressed.

The other day, I was parked on James St. in Rome, one block north of the police station and courthouses there waiting for my brother to pick up some coffees from 'Spresso's. Two young thugs across the street were engaged in an animated conversation consisting primarily of the F-word and the MF-word. I avoided making eye-contact with them but carefully kept track of their location at all times. As my brother entered the truck, he muttered "The things you see when you haven't got a gun ..." I replied "I think a flame thrower would make a stronger impression" as we drove away.

You Know, I believe firmly in freedom of speech but this issue has gotten way out of hand now.

When did it become so acceptable? Just maybe because the issue has been ignored for to long by so many of us.
I for one will be calling Hernando County Sheriff's department to commend those deputies that finally took a stand for the respectable people and I suggest you do the same. It's time we all spoke up once and for all.

My hat is off to them.

Well, i think it goes to our insatiable desire for bigger, better, over-the-edge. Look at movies, 30 years ago, you'd never see something like Eyes Wide Shut or the opening scenes to Jerry Maguire.

But we have tolerated the music industry for peddling such music into our homes, that I'm surprised people are still offended to hear such language.

Chris Rock mentioned this in one of his comedy skits. He poked fun at how white women have all the words memorized to those songs, but black folks just dance to the beat. Then he asked, have you ever listened to some of that s#$%. He went to town on rap music for a good 30 minutes.

Anyway, that is how society talks now. It's so ingrained that to be cool, you have to be disrespectful and rebellious to the system, the includes swearing. But don't worry, we sure taught Don Imus not to use offensive language.

I just called the Hernando County Sheriff's department and spoke to the Deputy Chief. I told him I was calling from New York and wanted to commend the Deputies involved in the arrest of this young man for using profanities in public.
My call was greatly appreciated and they assured me the Deputies involved would be told of my call.

Like I said earlier, we the respectable people, have to start taking a stand and begin to voice our opinions to the right departments to clean up our society for our children and our grandchildren.

If anyone of you would like to do the same here is the Sheriff's number: 1- 352- 7546830
It only takes a minute and it is a beginning.

swimmy,, I'd like to get my hands on Chris Rock. I'd tell him a thing or two for sure and it would come from a "white woman" that wouldn't waste her time listening to that music never mind memorizing the words. It's all garbage!!!!!!!!

Swimmy, 30 years ago there was plenty of this stuff around.. 30 years ago half the old farts on this board were having sex with strangers durring the summer of love...

its all the friggin medication the doctors put them on.. they cant remember what it was like when they were young. Fu*k is a nasty word.. its a curse word.. be thankful for the fool that blabbers it in public for he tells you right away what you might otherwise have to guess about him...

You can't make either a democracy or a decent society with only laws. You need character, a commodity fast disappearing from America. (Now leaving the pulpit.)

[losjibaros]

I disagree Dave.. character is alive and well...


FOX News just doesnt put on TV how the Gangster Looking guy helped his little brother with his homework last night.

Hmmm, I must have called in sick that day. Or maybe I was one of the strangers? It's all a fog to me.

[dgriffin]

I've lost the thread....so to speak.

[bobbbiez]

losjibaros, losjibaros, losjibaros. Who you calling old farts on this board? Watch it "boy" you don't want to ruffle my feathers tonight. Ain't in the mood for your disrespectful crap.

Sorry, but I'm probably in a bad mood because I don't take any medication like alot of you young fools take that clouds minds, bodies and memories.

Nothing wrong with my memory young man. I do remember when I was young and the streets were not even close to being as trashy as it is now, never mind just in the music.

I do remember when respect was practiced in all ways. I do remember my friends and I having respect for others, especially our elders. We would never even consider calling an older person an "old fart."

My father was a man's man and very well respected in the community and respected in the sport community here in Utica. He was a foreman in a local foundry and I'm sure when he was with his men he swore right along with them, but when he came home to his wife and four daughters he left the man stuff at work. We never heard my Dad swear once in our home, never mind on the streets. I guess, losjibaros, that's what you call being respectful and what you have not learned.

Please do me a favor, don't try to justify the crap we have to listen to on the streets today by comparing it to 30 years ago, because young man it's just alot of bull crap and I'm not buying it. I'll put my memory against yours any day. The streets were 100 per cent better 30 years ago then they are today.

And by the way young man. Sorry, but I never in my younger days or in my whole life had sex with any stranger, anytime, anywhere. That's probably why us old farts didn't end up like that poor Holloway girl.

Wow!!! I feel much better now. Glad I got that off my chest.

I worked in a school system for a few years almost ten years ago. I can say that I met a lot of kids who were upstanding and responsible. But I suspect that there weren't as many of them as in the past. I meet more parents who don't want to do the job they signed up for when they dropped their pants. It's work to bring up a kid, maintain discipline, hold to the tough decisions, put the time into it. Many parents don't want to do that and therefore ask the schools to do it for them. Bad mistake to ask a "politically" corrupt committee to bring up your kids.

[Swimmy]

That and parents want to be their child's best friend. Or they justify the "not my kid" attitude with that "I want to give them what I didn't have" philosophy. Let me tell you something. When I have kids, they'll earn what they get. I won't be buying my kids the latest newest tricked out car for their 16th birthday. They'll do what I had to do, work, save up, and be lucky to buy a used 10 yr old jalopy for a couple thousand bucks. At the time, I hated my parents for making me do that. And they'd be pulling the ol' "I told you so" attitude if they read any of this. But looking back on it all, I'm glad they made me earn the car instead of me expecting a brand new car to be handed to me. I'm further ahead than most of my peers. I couldn't believe when one girl told off her interviewer about how the job he was offering her was below a person with a 4-yr degree. She didn't seem phased by the fact that everyone in her profession starts out with that job when they have the same level of education. My ex does not know how to live within her own financial means and runs to daddy to go on extravagant trips. Sure daddy can afford it, but she can't. Somewhere along the lines, society changed into a kids first mentality and it's only produced losers and failures. Very few kids in my generation and younger know what elbow grease means. Most kids think hard work is having to walk to the phone to order delivery. Or that doing your chores means getting your cell phone bill to daddy so he can pay on time.

My first internship was eye opening. I had been trained that as the intern you're the lowest on the totem pole and you always smile when you're given shit work. One college intern bragged about how her daddy's connections got her the internship and how she could do the "real" work, like follow the attorneys into the courtroom and hold their papers. She was baffled, after telling the secretaries that filing is a job for someone dumber than her and handed the filing back to one of them, as to why she was sent to the basement to clean out some old files. It made my day when they offered me an internship for next summer and they suggested she find something more fitting her capabilities, like retail at the mall. I don't mean to belittle a cashier's job, but they said it, not me.

Ok, I'm off my soapbox of why we're all going to hell. :-)
