Violence Rears Its Ugly Head

Correctional Officer Ross was trying to do good deeds when some butthole decides to bust some shots:

Gunshots broke out on Wednesday during the second annual Rick Ross Be Out Day charity event for children in Miami Gardens, Florida. When Ross took the stage, shots rang out across the street from the fundraiser, which was sponsored by the Florida rapper to raise money for back-to-school supplies for local children.

“The shots happened near the event … across the street, but it was close enough that it seemed as if it happened in the park [where the show was taking place],” said Elora Mason, a publicist for Rick Ross Charities Inc., the event sponsor. “It’s not clear what brought it on, but police said the person shooting appeared to be shooting in the air.”

Mason said the shooting occurred at around 4:30 p.m., shortly before the event was to wrap up and just as Ross took the stage along with the city’s mayor and a state representative. For the safety of the officials and Ross, police cleared the stage.

“But Ross didn’t want to leave his fans like that, because some people had been there even before the event started,” Mason said. “So he returned to the stage for a brief performance, and then he went out into the audience to shake hands and sign autographs.”

Kudos to Rick Ross for doing good deeds; hopefully he really means it and is not just doing it for some positive publicity after his C.O. fiasco.

    It’s okay, Rick heard who the suspects were through the officer dispatch, he’s on the case, no worries.

    :lol: @ Re

    um,shots fired in the air are usually warning shots..i’d be worried Rick Ross

  • Aunt Viv

    Publicity stunt or not, I commend Mr. Portly for doing something positive.

  • SureShot

    Imma give Ricky Ross the benefit of the doubt that this ain’t no PR. Especially cause this is the SECOND annual Be Out Day Event and all this UC CO ish ain’t pop off until this spring. That being said:

    Way 2 Grown is way too wrong (yet hilarious) on so many levels for insinuating that the biggest boss that you seen thus far has po-po on speed dial! LMAO!

    Everybody wants Rick Ross to act all gutta on these people in public, but wouldn’t that be stupid of him to do that, he puts himself in a compromising position. They could file law suits, assault charges, anything. Once you go public the game changes, If anything he was smart. Now in a dark ally somwhere he might have got at you.

    @Re

    @ Aunt viv

    Ya’ll are too funny! He probably does have 5-0 on speed dial and mad pull in the Penn!

  • Candylicker

    This is clearly a publicity stunt!!

    “It’s not clear what brought it on, but police said the person shooting appeared to be shooting in the air.”

    He probably put the kids on the police bus and drove them to a safe place. Then he returned and used his detective skills to find the gunmen.

  • champaignkisses2012

    2 NAS and who ever reads this???

    This will be the ULTIMATE ALBUM OF ALL TIME!

    All it needs is beats from Dr. Dre and a sprinkle of Timbaland in the mix! U start by mixing the pot with a flow that is LOUD and WORDS mean what they say! From the WEST…ICE CUBE!

    U will need a rapper that has a flow that will swallow you whole and spit you out! From the EAST…Nas! U will need a rapper that will give you a 110% every time he hits the studio and has a rugged mello type of flow from the SOUTH…Scraface!

    Take all 3 and put them all together and tell me what do u have??? A triangle of POLITICS!!!!!!!!!

    Nasir Jones, (Kid Wave)

    A.K.A: Nasty Nas, Nastradamus

    KNOWN AS: USA MOST BRAVE RAPPER….what!

    “I want to do an all-Dr. Dre album,” he told MTV News. “A whole thing with Dre and a

    whole thing with Primer, and drop ‘em on the same day. That’s the real thing. All right,

    I said it. That’s what I really wanna do.

    That is GREAT! BUT BIG PLANS means hard work and dedication for the “people” the fans

    That want this! The title of the NEW ALBUM: THE JOURNEY IS NEAR: ELECTION 08′

    Now come on, did you really think that event where he appeared was going to be a love-filled event? Niccas don’t like anyone remotely connected to law enforcement unless your dead.

  • thepromised1

    I was watching streets illustrated on youtube (on vacation nothing else to do) this dude was asked how did he choose that name. Now keep in mind his real name is William Roberts, he said he never had even heard of Freeway Rick Ross he just came up with that name out of thin air. I was crackin up at this dude. This dude needs professional mental help I think he actually believes he was born this charachter he’s portraying.

  • http://myspace.com/butta305 camile star

    i’m not going to hate one him….i’m not saying this because he is home team but i don’t think it’s that serious!!! it’s call entertaining and that’s what he do…… i just like what he’s saying i can careless if it’s real. shid half of these MF on the scene is fake. at the end of the day he’s talkin about someones life. holla

    five O on speed dail…..funny

  • Precision Plus

    I find it interesting that almost one week after Ross’ comments, only one major media outlet, MiamiHerald.com, reported on the charity party, at B.E.D. Miami, that BOMBAY SAPPHIRE sponsored to support Rick Ross’ efforts to provide real tools that families need. Rick performed mostly all of his songs for 45-minutes and Webbie jumped on the mike. All of this without incident. Hopefully, one day, there will be balanced reporting. I am sure that is a dream that will continue to be deferred! Without this, Ross and others will have a hard time getting corporate brands to support their causes regardless of the intent.

  • Grownfolks

    who really cares? Most of these rap n**gas havent done what they rap about anyway. At least Rick Ross had the decency and was man enough to get a “real job” to support his family while working on his music. plus, since when do the police always do the right thing they are shady too. he couldve done “other things” to try and make ends meet. At least he didnt have to leach off family members, sleep on folk’s couches, and skip out on taking care of his kids until he gets a record deal.
