Atlanta Journalist George Chidi Breaks Down Young Thug & YSL RICO Case (Full Interview)

Atlanta-based journalist George Chidi sat down for his first-ever VladTV interview, and he started off speaking about the YSL RICO case that led to the arrests of Young Thug, Gunna, and dozens connected to the two rappers. Chidi broke down various points in the indictment, including Lil Wayne’s tour bus shooting that was allegedly tied to Young Thug. Chidi also spoke about prosecutors alleging that YFN Lucci being attacked in jail was also tied to Young Thug. To hear more of Chidi breaking down the case, hit the full interview above.

[@triberedeyetv5971]

facts. no diff than when they indict ppl for guilty verdicts of association. if we can go to jail for obstruction of justice bc we don't wanna get involved as witnesses in cases then their is definitely viable grounds to have these labels associated with RICO companies in business with them. funny part is that soon as that happens, thats when we will start seeing politicians, state officials, and even govt connections to crimes in connection to consciously profiteering from Privitized Prisons and the socio-engineering applications of investing into "weaponized" cultural expressions (drill music). this case is gonna expose a lot of ppl actually look into the micro/macro aspects of it all.

[@grantredman2496]

Check it people this man said that they had been looking at Thug, since he was a Juvenile, that the Government had perceived that they would have to deal with him for far more violent crimes. Look people, they had been looking at a juvenile, that means that they groomed him to be a more violent criminal. Let’s stop thinking that these people are just recruiting us or watching us to play sports or sing and dance. We always turn away from what’s right in our face. They built a prison industry, that is composed of police, District Attorneys Offices, Criminal Courts, then the last stop; Prisons, which is composed of Prison Guards, Prison Counselors, outside contractors, who supple the prisons with food, commissaries, ect. Then the individual prison administrators, then you have the state prisons central offices. So, how do you maintain all those jobs and those individuals have to have these jobs, those communities that those prisons are in rely on those prison to be filled. They have invested hundreds of billions of $s in building them, staffing them, outsourcing contracts to private businesses in those communities, banks holding accounts, inmates spending money on phones, transportation of inmates from prison to prison, hospitals ect. We as black men are the product that keeps that industry alive. And they have been doing this since all those civil rights laws were passed into law.

There is no loyalty when it comes down to it. Everyone has their own best interest. It would be foolish to think any different.

Great interview

[@lilgeneral218]

So it sounds like it all started from them accusing dude (nut) of being an informant so they killed him but then it turns out he was never an informant so all of this was for no reason basically. Smh successful men throwing their life away

[@texasboy3427]

The government is using both gangs to traffic drugs and that’s what’s causing the gang problems, and they used thug and the other dude to to control the street soldiers.
