Police turn tables on Brighton DJ - they arrest him for refusing to lower the volume

There was a report that the Boston Police had arrested a BU student they said responded to their request either turn his music down or roll up his window and instead he turned his music up. The Police officers stated that the noise complaint at 109 Brainerd Rd. shortly after 5 p.m. yesterday was met by a wall of sound emanating from a third-floor apartment - and by a resident who asked them to do something about it.

The officers came and knocked on the apartment door for a while before the suspect opened the door. The officers advised the person playing the music was told to turn down the music due to the multiple 911 calls. The person stated, "I'm not turning anything down!" Officers advised the man to turn the music down and he clearly replied, "I'm not turning it down."

            Police say as the officers tried to reason with Jurgen Lippert, more neighbors came out of their apartments and pleaded with them to do something about the loud and obnoxious noise, but they said that it was a daily occurrence. The police said that the apartment DJ apologized for the disturbance to his neighbors but that he needed to "practice mixing music." The police have clearly stated that the man (Lippert) clearly turned his music up. Then officers had arrested him for disturbing the peace.

My Pledge

My Pledge to myself and the class

     I Curtis Brandon pledge to learn more as a student at Year Up and become a well known and educated student with the skills to become successful.

     I pledge to use my resources for help when I don’t understand something and become a resource so everyone can come to me and ask me questions and I can provide them with the help they are seeking.

     Also, to become a better person overall in this programs to the point to where I can do anything I want with no regrets and successfully through Year Up and live a happy life with Year Up under my belt, and by watching my Verbal Vices.

     Finally, to pass all of my classes in the 2^nd and 3^rd module of Year Up and become someone who can teach people about anything with the knowledge to speak based on what I know and not relying on my peers for everything. I plan to do this by studying hard and not letting anyone and anything distract me from my goals. I am also going to understand the work a bit more.

Sincerely,

Curtis Brandon

Stigma

     

Ghetto people

     According to the article, stigmas are a way of speaking to a person without using words, but only using gestures. In our society today we have people who want to be ghetto in order to either fit in or be hip/hood. Like this:

This is an image that was found over the internet under ghetto white boys and they are called the “ICY HOT STUNTAZ” and from what I have researched about them according to what they call themselves is that they were the coolest group of dudes to ever be around. Honestly this is how I feel about the situation being that they claim to be cool rappers that everyone should be around because they can rap (they got flow), so this is how I feel: “for the love of god you’re a 15 year old suburban white-boy, not some ghetto gangbanger. I hope this website is a joke because if it isn’t than you need to 1) look in the mirror and realize you’re not black 2) stop with the lame “gang signs” 3) pawn some of that jewelry and buy yourself a bike because that’s all your 15 year old ass can drive 4) realize that you’re not hardcore or intimidating in the slightest bit 5) learn how to spell 6) stop with the stupid nick names. For the record I think that you’re in the middle of some terrible identity crisis, and you should go to the ghetto and try “Pimpin” with some real gangsters and see how long you live. Sometimes the truth hurts to some people to have to see people try to be something that they are not.

Another picture of some want to be ghetto people from the movie Malibu’s Most Wanted and this is the scene in the movie where Malibu Also Known As B-Rad in the gray and yellow went to a shampoo and conditioner store and they tried to demand some free Shampoo and Conditioner products.

    

In the movie B-Rad had said: “This is our mall. always has been, always will be! There's about to be some hard core drama about to go down right neow! (Hodges: that's right. (Lady at desk: ohhh Mr. O’merclanni, our clerk gave you the wrong aroma therapy candles. here you go. (B-Rad looks at Hodges funny)(B-Rad: that's what i'm talkin about! we get ours! (Moe barks)(B-Rad: you validat perkin? (Lady: of coures sir. Then, there was another line that I thought was hilarious and that line is: “Man why do you keep callin me that? That’s you name isn't it? B-Rad:  That’s my slave name I told you like 50 times! S~ ok B-Rad! B~ wassup? S~ what are your goals in life B-Rad: To be the biggest rapper there ever was! Let me kick a freestyle for you right now SHRINK SHRINK BLINKTEY BLINK TRY TO MAKE ME THINK MAKE ME WANA GO TO MY SINK AND VOMIT THEN CLEAN IT UP WITH COMET EARTH IS MY PLONET that’s a million dollar song right there! S~ so how long have you been this shizznitt (stutters) B~ Ah every since i was a little shawty! I had these beats in my head that Icouldn’t forget!
