His Facebook profile doesn't contain an overwhelming amount of "thug life" photos. It seems like mostly family images, including a number of small children who will not be pictured here. But Cordell Q. Dalton, who died in the street at Sheridan and 8th Ave. N., projected an image of being "in the game" to some degree.
In the picture above...
...he holds banded together money and pretends he is going to bite into it like a Big Mac. Only an hour ago somebody went to Dalton's Facebook page and wrote "R.I.P. my nigga" as a comment on this image.
When he died, Dalton had 403 Facebook friends. Some are already displaying images of him prominently on their profiles. A couple of his friends are "Moes," leading me to believe Dalton is the latest casualty in a difficult-to-decipher gang war which (at least at one point) seemed to involve a struggle between Y.N.T. versus Skitz Squad. A suspect known as "Funny Moe" was involved in the feud, and the nickname "Moe" appears to lead to interesting places, click here for further explanation.
Some of Dalton's Facebook "likes" included four movies. One was a "gangsta" movie called Paid In Full and then thee movies with the word "Friday" in the title. His only activity listed was "shooting dice." His only interest was "money."
He liked a Facebook page called "She gotta booty" which states AS YOU KNOW THE ORIGINAL EXPOSE BOOTY PAGE WAS SHUT DOWN. THERE ARE A LOT OF IMPOSTOR (sic) PAGES SURFACING ON FACEBOOK. THEY ARE NOT NOR EVER WILL BE EXPOSE BOOTY. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL EXPOSE BOOTY.
He also liked a page called FINE DIMEZ which could be fairly described as nothing but beautiful, half naked black women in provocative poses.
Turning once again to the movie "Paid In Full," it is basically a "rise to the top of the drug dealing hierarchy" story. The plot is littered with bodies and betrayals. And this is the movie Dalton placed at the front of his movie list.
It seems the death of Cordell Q. Dalton may be an unfortunate case of life imitating art.
Seems we have an entire counter-culture built on life imitating "art" and the fact that our society lacks opportunities to break away from this delusion only reinforces it's reality.
ReplyDeleteIt's a profitable opiate cast down on our societies disadvantaged that is learned at a very young age where the die is set for self fulfilling prophecy.
Children produce children who grow up in dysfunctional environments adhering to this fallacy never develop the social norms or speech patterns necessary to differentiate themselves from the poverty they are surrounded by.
Yes, I agree Anon 10:21. There are predatory opiates feeding the delusional fantasies of the disenfranchised everywhere one goes, it seems. It fits-in with the addictive lifestyle. However, I believe that the "king of thugdom" version results in less collateral damage among innocents than does the promise of 72 virgins in paradise upon successfully martyring oneself to the jihadist cause.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what "art" JNS is referring to. Blacksploitation instructional videos on how to walk-the-walk and talk-the-talk?
I was referring to movies like Paid In Full about the romance and big money of "thug life."
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of sick person trashes the memories of those that have been murdered. How sick must a person be to victimize victims.
ReplyDeleteThe writer of this blog is a seriously disturbed and pathetic person, nothing but a gutter dweller.
I bet you have done nothing to help stop the cycle of violence.
Go to church and get a conscience.
He was a actually a great man , and a wonderful friend. A Humble individual that never harmed anyone. All these facts are not adding up, you will never know because your outside looking in. This is so disrespectful to put online. Lets talk positive instead of Negative. Thank You !
ReplyDelete@ Cindy Rose, You will never find anything good out of this blog. This Johnny guy have no clue about anyone who have been murdered. The first thing he do go to public records to find out how bad the victim is. His priorities is f*cked
ReplyDelete@ anon 5:12PM:
ReplyDeleteYour grammer is f*cked. There is not a single sentence which does not have multiple errors.
Go to church and get a consciense? Hows about anonameass@2:31 go to church and ask why the men they employed molested thousands of young boys and it continues to this day. Also a big fuck you to those who like to cherry pick what is true in the fucking bible. It is all true or the BIGGEST GODDAMN fraudulent book ever published. Fuck all of you holier than thou assholes who hide behind that bullshit. Good Evening and get your fake asses out from behind your facade.
