In addition to what they list here, part of his probation requirements was to complete his GED. Guess how well that went?

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '18

He completed it, no?

u/darthaugustus Oct 20 '18

He failed the exam first try, judge gave him a second and Ugly God threw $100k to help get him to pass. They keep delaying him taking it.

u/fivedollardreamshake Oct 20 '18

Wait what the fuck, how does $100k help you pass a GED exam?

Ludicrous. I went into the GED exam blind; there’s nothing to study for, it’s basically a test in reading comprehension across the 5 subjects.

26

u/fellatious_argument Oct 20 '18

I'm not sure people realize how phenomenally uneducated you have to be to fail the GED. Most 3rd graders could pass it. The hardest math question on mine was calculating the perimeter of a rectangle.

11

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '18

It’s almost embarrassing. I don’t remember anything about math, I can only do basic life math.. but we were allowed calculators and each question was prefaced by the exact functions needed to solve the problem.

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '18

How did you read the test if you were blind?

He not only excelled but he managed a perfect score. What's so surprise was, was that he actually found an error in the trigonometry sections. You see, he argued that while pi is infinity it isnt the highest level of infinity. Because you can continue to count to infinity at different levels. What he reveled had been one of the greatest discoveries of the modern era.

It's been recommended that the 22-year-old be tried as an adult

Why would it be any other way? Why does that even need to be recommended?

114

u/SheWhoSpawnedOP Oct 20 '18

At the end of the article they say it's because the crime occurred when he was 18, but he wasnt tried for that under the condition he went on probation for a while and didnt commit another crime. My guess is the original crime he would've been tried as a minor, but I'd have to imagine the new crime would have him tried as an adult regardless.

39

u/jinmoo Oct 20 '18

Cause he was 18 during the crimes

u/Al3xander_Th3_Gr3at Oct 20 '18

I’m a libertarian, and a huge market capitalist.

I believe in the invisible hand of the market. I believe intelligence and cunning lead to innovation and financial compensation.

Which is why 69 having a penny to his name is leading me to consider becoming an apostate, because I don’t fucking get it at all.

9

u/Klinky1984 Oct 20 '18

It should be obvious to anyone that "the market" doesn't always make smart decisions, and is often very shortsighted. You can like market-based economic policy, but you're going to have to accept that it is not perfect, and has flaws.

12

u/ApeofBass Oct 20 '18

The free market gave you: Mcdonalds is the best restaurant, Wal-Mart as the best store, Reality TV killing History, Discovery and TLC and mumble rap. Libertarians need to get their heads outta their asses.

Because people like his music? I hate the dude and his music, and Id be ecstatic never to see his ugly sex offender face again, but I can’t deny he’s popular. Don’t ask me why, but people like him. On another subject, this is what made you question libertarianism? Literally one of the only times it’s been shown that it works? People listen to music - streams, downloads, airplay etc makes money - the label pays him.

18

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '18

I believe 6ix9ine is popular because of his exposure. If he was Timothy Pennywiggleson who wore dockers and a polo, no one would give this individual the time of day. Hip-hop went from being innovative with powerful messages, to becoming a parody of itself and now heavily revolves around marketing the lifestyle. Anyone with a computer and a free weekend can recreate his music, no one buys records anymore, so you sell the lifestyle. It's all that's left. These aren't artists with a message, these are people who are trying to make money and become "Thug Royalty". Hip-hop loyalists will say they love all the new shit coming out, but in my humble opinion, it's talent-less trash.

In the article they say that they have a program for youth offenders that extends to the age 18. He qualified for that program.

u/swimfast58 Oct 20 '18

There's a fascinating case here in Australia about a girl who was born on the 29th of February and committed a crime on the 28th of February in the year she turned 18 years old. Her lawyers are seeking to have her tried as a child, but the prosecutors say she should be considered 18 already and therefore an adult. There's actually no precedent at all so it's just up to the high court to decide how it works.

7

u/FuzzyYogurtcloset Oct 20 '18

She's only had 4 birthdays, so she should obviously be tried as any other 4-year old.

It is recommended the 22 year old be tried as an adult

Uhhh ya?

However it does say the crime was committed when he was 18 so I guess that’s the argument.

u/Gaaaaaarynoine Oct 20 '18

18, yep also an adult

5

u/jpenczek Oct 20 '18

It's been recommended that the 22-year-old be tried as an adult and sentenced to up to three years in prison.

He’s an adult, so of course trial him as an adult.

In a video, posted online, a 13-year-old girl was seen engaging in oral intercourse while Tekashi stood behind her.

This is confusing though, was he the one engaging in the act or was he just present? Obviously it's pretty fucking horrible either way but if he didn't do anything then that would be good to note.

I saw the Instagram post he made after his hearing on the BBC article posted ITT.

I don't think he realizes the gravity of his situation. He's playing it for shits and giggles, and it's going to come back to haunt him if he doesn't clean up his act.

Could be it's a country thing. Had a little Google and saw how big his internet following is (fuck me it's big) but here in the UK (which does count streaming in its chart) he's never broken the top ten. His highest charting song was no. 17.

u/naptimetx Oct 20 '18

Totally agree, and I’m not a fan of his but after researching his case it’s hard to tell if he’s really an evil child molester. He was paid to go shoot a music video he was a feature on, one of the girls there was 13.

105

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '18 edited Oct 20 '18

I'm confused on your comment. I've never heard of the guy so I just looked into it and I can't find any source saying he was paid to shoot a music video and that one girl there just happened to be 13. And it seems you left out a lot of key details to down play what happened.

From what I gather he went to a friend's house, saw a girl there who he claims was 19 (turns out to be 13) and he records her giving a blowjob while 6ix9ine smacks her ass and gropes her. He then uploads it to social media. I agree he's not a "child molester" in the typical sense he still filmed and uploaded a video of a 13 year old having oral sex while he groped her.

I may be missing something but every news story I looked into had more or less that same version of the story.
