that's just dismissing people's experiences.

if you grow up with people willing to attack you due to where you live, have people you care about being assaulted and/or murdered, "inherit" the lifestyle (parents, siblings, uncles/aunts, etc. in gangs), etc., then your perspective about things is certainly going to be different than someone without those experiences.

plus, seeing the police also engage in illegal activity can affect how people regard the law.

so, if you're living in a dangerous, crime-driven environment, where there's no real sense of judgment, from your view, then how's that going to affect your personal views on so-called illegal activities?

I am not trying to say there aren't people with valid experience. Some of it is a valid experience. However, making their lifestyle a commodity is something we should really take a look at. And let's not forget Most of these beefs are surge through very very toxic masculinity. Look at the video in the original page. When they were arguing on Instagram live. It was about who chase who. Who dominated who. Nobody wanted to look like a punk in front of others. We need to address it. Because just it is a valid experience doesn't mean we stop short after that argument.
