How a Rapper Snuck an RPG into Chicago

okay what is that bread but we need to talk about the situation in Chicago which is infamous it is a moment in history and that is the moment when an anti tank rocket launcher was found on the streets of Chicago and the whole city almost had a panic attack now this story takes place in 2013 2014 right at the height of the Chicago drilling scene this is when Chicago was coined chiraq and the reason they called it chiraq was because the death toll in this city was going up so high that it resembled the death toll of American soldiers fighting abroad in the Middle East in Iraq and Afghanistan now the fact that Chicago adopted this name chiraq and it just so happens that a bazooka was found in Chicago During the same time that's kind of sick so in 2013, the Chicago police had received information from Intel that someone in the 3rd district of Chicago had gotten hold of an anti rocket launcher, But before I get into this video, I have to give a big hello to you today. sponsor and that's the awesome team of big miners if you guys are really struggling right now trying to complete your essays believe me I'm sorry for your pain but don't worry big miners have you covered literally go to their website and choose whatever type of essay you want they fill out for you you pay them and you're done check out their Instagram you can order there it's even easier the link in the description if you need help with your essays leave it forever 24 20 percent off your order go check them out and now let's go back to why at the time Rondo was posting on Instagram a bunch of photos with him holding what appeared to be a rocket launcher and these photos were getting a lot of attention online from civilian fans but also the government were just watching in fact the police had been compiling an archive of photos of all these different chiraq

s with these exotic weapons semi-automatic rifles and of course Of course, this wi Rondo holding a fucking bazooka, this led the police to create a whole new unit dedicated to building an online infrastructure of investigators using AI to basically figure out all these different slang and gang codes that were being used on the networks. social and he was to stop them in their tracks before assault turned deadly the murder rate kept rising bodies were falling every day and there was a specific red zone now you may be wondering how you actually get a rocket launcher in the usa Well actually it's not that hard now the rocket launcher that Rondo was in possession of is actually called the at4 now these were built in sweden but mainly used by the us military to give soldiers a means to destroy armored vehicles or fortifications in the middle east right this was used in the afghan war and the reason why to the military en they loved these guns at first it was because they were extremely easy to use basically you take them out of the package and aim through the sights, take the safety off, pull the trigger and the boom goes off but in the same way these 84's were extremely mobile and extremely handy for people to draw and shoot and keep moving it was also that you could only shoot at a time it only came with one unit of ammo and after that the launcher was pretty much useless you threw it out these launchers were extremely cost effective and cheap you can buy one of these for $1,500 now it's crazy in america you can buy a rocket launcher without a background check without a 4473 but every shell basically what goes off is considered a destructive device in america and requires a specific tax stamp from ATF and the going rate for these is $200 and extremely hard to come by and usually what placed on a waiting list. for four to twelve months, so while highly unlikely, there are rare cases where someone could have a bazooka with the rocket and can shoot when the police come across these photos of rondo holding this at4 anti-tank rocket launcher, they put out a bulletin that alerted people in the neighborhood and also made plans to go intervene, track down rondo number nine and get to the bottom.

I don't know the details of what happened, but of course Rondo took to Twitter and posted basically angry that people were exploiting his place. He was even saying who would do something with a rocket launcher. I was pretty pissed because these photos of him. with a bazooka they got a lot of attention don't post a picture of you in a rocket launcher so my boy now we don't really know what happened eventually rondo ended up deleting the picture of him with the rocket launcher but soon after another picture popped up and a different

known as p rico he posted a picture on instagram of a rocket launcher leaning on his door we don't know if it's the same one but clearly there's a kinect in

connecting people to roc the ket launchers now when it comes down to it if he could have using the rocket launcher aren't they really a bit stupid anyway the rocket launcher would have been very ineffective most people in gun carrying states don't know how to shoot anyway most people can't shoot the ocean from a boat so I don't know what the purpose is when you walk around the south side of Chicago with a bazooka like it's ineffective unless you're aiming for grandma's house of someone or something.

It's kind of useless, but really it was probably just an accessory, right? It was something to post on Instagram, like look, I have a rocket launcher, I mean, it has a song called Taliban on it, so I'm probably just trying to stick with the brand, and of course. this was a good promo Ferrando all the blogs picked it up his music videos had millions of views but unfortunately in 2014 Rondo and another rapper known as if de were accused of the murder of a taxi driver where basically they throw got into his taxi and they shot seven times and now Rondo is currently serving thirty-nine years in prison for that murder, so the lesson is that while the bazooka may not have been deployed to destroy him, it was definitely an illustration of what was happening in Chicago. at that time and how bad it got anyway that's it for this video make sure you are subscribed with notifications on leaving this video and see you in the next video
