Big Jook Passed Away! [NSFW]

Big Jook shot and killed. Targeted attack towards Yo Gotti.

Gun violence is the number one threat in the United States.

Be warned, there will be graphic images and video.

Memphis, Tennessee is located on the western bank of the Mississippi River. It has a population of 620,000 residents. The metropolitan area covers three states. It is a large transportation hub in the Mid South. It is one of the 30 major cities in the South with a Black majority population.

Memphis was the site of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination.

The site of Young Dolph's assassination.

And now the place where hip hop artists are in fear of losing their lives to senseless gun violence. The city is "at war" due to the death of Dolph.

Yo Gotti and his Collective Music Group members are targeted due to the latter's previous feud with Dolph and allegations of him being involved in the rapper's death.

Gotti has lost his brother Big Jook.

Anthony "Big Jook" Mims, was killed in a shooting outside a Memphis restaurant Saturday afternoon.

Memphis Police (MPD) said that one man was killed and another man was injured outside of Perignons Restaurant and Event Center on the 6300 block of Winchester Road.

On Sunday, Jan. 14, 2024, police identified the victim as Mims, 47.

A second individual was taken to the same hospital in a private car, before being airlifted to Regional One Health in Memphis in critical condition.

Memphis Deputy Police Chief Paul Wright said both victims were at the restaurant for a repast service.

According to TMZ, Mims, the older brother of the “I Am” rapper, had attended a funeral service for a relative in the area earlier in the day.

We do feel that the individual that was shot was possibly targeted by the suspect,” Wright said during a press conference.

Police couldn’t make a connection to the rapper while the investigation is still in the preliminary stages.

Big Jook’s Instagram page advertises his brother’s record label, CMG the Label, also known as the Collective Media Group, and has appeared in several music videos released by the label, but mostly dealt with the business side.

These murderers don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives. There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.

I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases. 

Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.

According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white. They say a white person should "protect" from protesters and use of firearms are justified. They say if a shooter is active military or a veteran who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

So in closing, expect more.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.

The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol are now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414.

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists. Let them know your vote matters and doing nothing will not be acceptable.
