Dangerous Jobs

I couldn't find my old post about dangerous jobs so I started another.

It seems to me the most dangerous job in America being a Rapper. They are getting shot down and killed every week it seems.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6871463/Rapper-Nipsey-Hussle-gunned-LA-clothing-store.html

and they have the dumbest names :shock:

C&P
Rapper Nipsey Hussle, who was shot dead just moments after meeting fans outside his clothing store in LA, was due to meet police today to discuss gang violence, it has been revealed.

The 33-year-old Grammy nominee was gunned down in Los Angeles just moments after posing for photos with fans and tweeting that 'having strong enemies is a blessing'.

Born Ermias Asghedom, the rapper was among three people shot outside the Marathon Store on Sunday afternoon at around 3.20pm.

On Sunday night, LA Police Commissioner Steve Soboroff tweeted that he and LAPD Chief Michel Moore were due to meet with Hussle and Roc Nation representatives to discuss gang violence today.

He wrote at 8.43pm: 'We (@LAPDChiefMoore and I ) were meeting , at the request of @NipseyHussle with him and @rocnation tomorrow at 4pm to talk about ways he could help stop gang violence and help us help kids. I'm so very sad.'

Police have not indicated if the meeting had anything to do with his death.

    I saw that.

    Like cRappers I would mark it down to lifestyle, personal choices and their culture which is a failure.

    That may sound raycist but I consider it realist YMMV.

    Re: Ferguson protestors- if you have been engaged in criminal acts with other criminals, why is anyone surprised that some of your friends decided to whack you? How many were getting killed BEFORE the Michael Brown circus, and has that rate changed?

    I would say working for the Clinton's would be high on the list. Your chance of turning up missing or dead by committing suicide by shooting yourself in the back of the head multiple times would be pretty high if you did something they didn't approve of.

    I have to agree with Smitty500mag . Although working for the Clintons needs to be expanded to having anything that may endanger them will get you dead.

    A couple others might be in the lumber industry or the Alaskan crab business.

    Just one more would be trying to survive in a mothers womb these days. Abortion is a growing business. All to many come out in pieces.

    The job's not dangerous, it's a lifestyle they lead that is dangerous. Not one of them has been shot because they're rappers that kept their nose clean

    Yeah but if you do what your boss tells you to do in any profession you won't have any problems including working for the clintons.

    So really working for the clintons is not a dangerous job. Not doing the job like they want you to do it, is dangerous ;)

    Commercial fisherman have the highest mortality rate in the normal workplace. Most rock or hip hop musicians die from drug overdose or competition issue. Folks trying to earn a regular living earn a more honorable demise. My hats off to loggers and other hard working dudes including truckers and real dangerous traditional workers.

    God bless the workers.

    Even going to a memorial service or whatever is dangerous.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6875765/Mourners-injured-violence-erupts-Nipsey-Hussles-memorial.html

    C&P
    One person has been stabbed and 19 were injured after violence broke out at a memorial for rapper Nipsey Hussle outside the Los Angeles store where he was shot dead a day earlier.

    Scores of fans were holding a vigil at the Marathon Clothing store in the South Los Angeles neighborhood on Monday night when the disturbance occurred.

    A Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman said they had received a report of a possible shooting or stabbing.

    Dramatic footage showed the moment a stampede broke out as terrified fans fled across the parking lot where the memorial was being held.

    At least two members of the crowd were critically injured and one injury was reportedly from a car hitting a pedestrian.




    Well it looks like he was shot because he was a rat for the LAPD against his gang the rollin 60's Crips.

    A few,

    I worked in a sawmill and I worked for a peckerwood logging operation that did select cut timbering mostly for trees to turned into veneer.

    I was a roofer for a while.

    I did some other stuff too but it never paid all that good ;)


    These Rappers though they get shot on a daily basis it seems. I am surprised anyone would want to be one, that and the music sux really bad.

    Yep, in an old family sawmill at an early age, shafts, pulleys, belts, unguarded blades, piles of timber everywhere. The "safety warning" for the mill came from my great grandfather and uncle "...pay attention boy or you're gonna get hurt". That said it all. Working hayfields baling, combining, etc at 12 years old, PTO shafts, old tractors with crap for brakes, worn out bailers, etc. Same admonishment. Funny thing, came thru those years with hardly a scrape. My later career, well, slightly different story. The rappers, thugs and wanna be pharmaceutical sales folks I spent much of my adult life shoving into body bags, just oxygen thieves with a very limited life expectancy.

    Logging is the second most dangerous job in America. I am not a professional but I have cut down a lot of big trees. Whacked 80 or 90 trees over 90 feet tall to get the view from my log cabin.
    And one day, I dropped the big pine where I wanted, I began walking downhill, the tree began to slide, and I got caught under it and it landed on my right knee. Broke the thigh bone, the femur, right in the knee. That was a bad day.
    Dangerous job.

    Right now I have the 9th most dangerous job, truck driver. I don't believe it is as dangerous as they say, not for the driver. I read up on a lot of truck wrecks, "Truck Hits Volvo." Yeah there were 3 fatalities, the three girls in the Volvo. Truck driver walked away.

    I don't see this job as being that dangerous for the truck driver.

    Skidded logs for awhile. Better keep on your toes doing that. Come way to close a couple times. I'm to big for the job of tunnel rat , but wouldn't want that job either . Come to think about it there are more than just a few jobs that can endanger your old age pension.
    Somewhat ironic is that mostly all my worst medical issues today are from medical errors, so I have to add patient.

    C&P

    Four people were gunned down, one fatally, on Thursday in California as fans celebrated the life of rapper Nipsey Hussle following his shooting death at 33 last month.

    The victims aged between 30 and 50 were three black males and a woman who was also black, LAPD stated as they said about the South LA incident around 103rd and Main streets: 'We must stop this senseless violence.'

    Cops said the suspects were in a gray Hyundai as a procession moved through the South LA area around 6.25pm on the day of his memorial event at Downtown LA's Staples Center.

    The incident occurred about a 15 minute drive away from late music star's Marathon clothing store where he was killed in March.

    Add mortar mixer for a mason.
    My electrician and his helper were working on a job for me, new house going up beside where he was working. They hear someone screaming for help.
    Worker was mixing mortar and a loose sleeve got caught in the mixer, pulled him in up to his shoulder. Took rescue squad about 10 minutes to get to him and cut the paddle out of the mixer. Emergency traffic to nearest major hospital took about 45 minutes. Haven't heard any up dates but the electrician said it looked like he might loose the lower part of his arm. By the way the electrician is also the head of the local volunteer rescue squad and has been involved with fire and rescue over 50 years, just as soon as have him "pick up the pieces" as any medical doctor.

    C&P
    Nipsey Hussle's memorial program was being auctioned for more than $1,000 after the celebration of life in California on Thursday.

    Fans were invited to attend the huge event venue in Downtown Los Angeles for free as they mourned the rapper who was slain March 31 outside his South LA clothing store.

    But some people who managed to obtain a copy of the booklets showing images of the music star and pictures of his family, were using it as an opportunity to cash in on eBay.

    It prompted the website to state they were cracking down on sellers trying to gain money from his tragic death at the age of 33 after he was shot several times.

    'These booklets are prohibited under eBay's policies. Any items that attempt to profit from human tragedy or suffering are not allowed to be sold on eBay,' a spokesperson told TMZ Friday.

    The website reports eBay plan on removing offending listings and telling users why it's against the rules.

    It was after people even tried to sell the complimentary tickets to the star-studded memorial.

    Now its not even safe to be friends with a cRapper!

    These two douchbag cRappers killed two of their "Friends" for financial gain. I guess he needed some scratch to pay for his gold toofs.

    C&P

    cRrapper YNW Melly is facing the death penalty in the double homicide of two of his close friends.

    YNW Melly, whose real name is Jamell Demons, 19, and Cortlen Henry, 20, were arrested by the Miramar Police Department in February.

    They were both charged with two counts of first degree murder for the October 2018 deaths of Christopher Thomas Jr, 19, and 21-year-old Anthony Williams.

    The Broward County, Florida, State Attorney's Office revealed their intent to seek capital punishment.

    Prosecutors said Demons committed the crime for financial gain and they are seeking the death penalty due to the 'especially heinous, atrocious or cruel' nature of the murders.

    Authorities said the murders were 'committed in a cold, calculated, and premeditated manner without any pretense of moral or legal justification'.

    In February, police said forensic evidence led them to determine Demons as the suspect who gunned down the two men before he staged the killings as a drive-by with the help of Henry.

    The rapper, who recently released the hit track 'Mixed Personalities' with Kanye West, took to his Instagram page hours before his arrest writing: 'To all my fans and supporters, no I did not get locked up in Washington, but I am turning myself in today.

    More cRappers getting shot at and killed. I guess there are some people who really don't like their music(Myself included)and are willing to kill to make it stop ;)

    Link:

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7033583/Atlanta-rapper-targeted-drive-shooting-left-one-person-vehicle-injured.html


    C&P
    1. A Georgia-based rapper's vehicle was shot up during a drive-by over the weekend, making him the fourth artist targeted within a span of three days.

    YFN Lucci's red Mercedes-Benz SUV was hit with a hail of bullets Friday night in Atlanta.

    It's unclear if the 28-year-old, whose real name is Rayshawn Lamar Bennet, was in the vehicle at the time of the shooting.

    However, the driver of Lucci's vehicle suffered a gunshot wound, according to TMZ.

    Lucci's driver was reportedly shot in the shoulder when the suspects opened fire on the SUV.

    Photos shows the vehicle riddled with more than a dozen bullet holes that tore through the rear window and door. Bullets also pierced the back tire of the SUV.

    2. The shooting was reported on Wednesday, but it occurred during the same weekend three other rappers were targeted in shootings.

    Earlier on Friday, two party buses filled with rapper Young Thug's team were shot up in Miami. Young Thug was not involved in the shooting, but he did arrive to the scene later.

    A spokesperson for Young Thug told TMZ that Young Thug 'did not get shot at'.

    According to the spokesperson, the shots were aimed at DJ Keyz, who was one of three people injured.

    Another man and a woman were injured after a car passing the entourage along Interstate 95 opened fire.


    3. In the most notable weekend shooting, gunmen in a passing Cadillac Escalade opened fire on rapper NBA YoungBoy as he and his 10-member entourage exited Trump International Beach Resort Miami in Sunny Isles Beach on Sunday afternoon.

    Those shots wounded the rapper's 19-year-old girlfriend, Kaylyn Marie Long, and grazed a five-year-old bystander.


    The cRappers have some very colorful names and they roll with a crew, which is I guess are just a bunch of useless hangeron's who tell the cRapper how great they are and how their music doesn't suck. In exchange they get gold teeth and crappy jewelry, plus they get shot at.

    What a life :shock:

    The getting shot at, and occasionally actually hit, seems to boost one's stature in their narrow little universe. If they want to do that, by all means, have at it. I'd even work with them to assist in improving their weapons skills with an aim (pun intended) towards increasing the mortality rate. What does chap my hind parts the most however, is the time and resources these oxygen thieves sap out of our Shock Trauma units. Once-maybe, twice-uh, no, a third time they ought to be turned away at the door for being a frequent flyer unless they're being brought in to harvest some "spare parts" for transplants. The trauma unit costs in this area alone from these idiots and their ilk are in the hundreds of millions a year, all so they can be healed up, go out, and do it all over again using up bed space and resources legitimate citizens need.

    The cops give a very detailed description of the suspected gunman BUT they leave one one detail, want to guess what it is?

    Height?
    Weight?
    Clothes colors?
    Shoe color?
    Hair Color?
    Rayce?
    Direction of travel?




    Come one I know you can get it on the 1st try.



    OH and they come to find out the dead cRapper was wanted in Atlanta for attempted murder and armed robbery :shock: How can this guy be cRapping at a concert in Miami FL when he has active warrants in Atlanta GA? Its not like he is hiding or living in a safe house.
