AceShowbiz - Boosie Badazz (Lil Boosie) sparked debate over his take on how to end gun violence in schools. Following the Apalachee high school shooting, the Baton Rouge rapper made use of his X account to offer solutions to the security issues in schools.
"#Anotherschoolshooting THE NEXT PRESIDENT NEED TO MAKE A LAW THAT PUTS 4 ARMED SNIPERS N EVERY SCHOOL N THIS COUNTRY TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN," Boosie wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday, September 5. "EVERY YEAR THIS COUNTRY SHREDS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AT THE END OF THE YEAR N THROWS IT AWAY."
The "Wipe Me Down" rapper went on saying, "WHY CANT SOME OF THAT MONEY BE SPENT TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN? WE PROTECT SPORTS, ENTERTAINMENT VENUES, CASINOS, FEDERAL BUILDINGS ETC." He added, "WE PROTECT ANYTHING THAT BRINGS MONEY BUT WE CANT PROTECT OUR OWN FLESH N BLOOD #thechildren CALLING MY BABY MOMAS 'IM THINKING HOME SCHOOL.' "
Some Internet users co-signed Boosie's idea with one saying, "They protect airports better than they do schools, think about that." Another wrote, "Yes! Everyone knows the thing you fight fire with is more fire!"
Meanwhile, some others blasted Boosie for his tweet. "I love Boosie but I can never take anything you say about gun laws and gun violence serious my baby," a user responded. "You want snipers on schools instead of better gun laws? N***as," another noted.
"*deep sigh* why is everyone's solution to gun violence MORE guns? Why can't we start with mandatory metal detectors in every school? How do we keep skipping past that?" someone else questioned. One person added, "N***a rather armed protection around children rather than just ban guns as a whole."
Boosie's tweet came after the deadliest school shooting incident this year took place at Apalachee High School in Georgia. The suspected shooter, 14-year-old Colt Gray, opened fire on Wednesday morning, killing four people and injuring nine others. He surrendered and was soon taken into custody as the authorities revealed that he would be charged with murder and prosecuted as an adult.
