(OPINION) I am so concerned about America’s young people. Police are telling us that a YouTuber named Kai Cenat sparked a “full-on riot” on Friday when he announced that he would be giving away PlayStation 5 consoles and various video game accessories in New York City’s Union Square.
Thousands upon thousands of young people showed up, and the crowd quickly turned extremely violent. If our young people are going to riot over a few video game consoles, how are they going to behave when the economic conditions in this country become extremely harsh? And what in the world is going to happen when they are extremely hungry and there isn’t enough food to go around someday?
As I covered in a previous article, a global famine has already begun. The UN is telling us that 2.4 billion people already do not have enough food to eat. But those of us that are fortunate enough to live in the Western world simply do not understand how bad things have become on the other side of the planet.
Supplies of food are getting tighter and tighter, but our countries have the resources to buy up enough supplies to feed our populations. So for now, we are seeing much higher prices, but we are not facing imminent shortages like they are in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and elsewhere. But once shortages do start happening here, will the U.S. population be able to handle that?
After what we witnessed on Friday, I think that is a question that we should all be asking… A “full-on riot” broke out Friday in New York City after gaming streamer Kai Cenat announced a PlayStation giveaway on social media.
What the media called “young attendees” could be seen jumping on cars, smashing windows, “twerking” and fighting with police. Most of those young people showed up hoping to get a free PlayStation 5 console. And it certainly didn’t take long for the mood of the crowd to become extremely ugly…
Within half an hour, the crowd of a “couple thousand” turned violent, with rioters tossing cones, bottles, rocks and brawling with each other — and NYPD whisking Cenat out of the area for his safety, NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey said. We have seen this so many times in recent years. Once thousands of unsupervised young people gather together in one place, a “mob mentality” can take over very rapidly. (READ MORE)
