A rapper(ess) thought it would be a good idea to buy a whole lot of free food, send out invitations all over Harlem to a free cookout, and invite a few celebrities.
What could go wrong?
Lots. Gunfire. Fighting. Property destruction. Violence.
From Teyana Taylor Cookout SHOT UP By 14 Yrs Old Kid, Police and Helicopters Everywhere, 1 Man Injured!! :
DAMN!!!….Teyana Taylor Cookout SHOT UP By a 14 Year Old Kid, Police and Helicopters Everywhere, One Man injured!! — Photos inside — It’s not a July 4th cookout until someone catches a mean slug. Does the heat make some black people crazy? Damn homie it’s the July 4th cookout not World War 3. Calm that isht down. A 200-person party hosted by local rapper Teyana Taylor in Morningside Park descended into mayhem late yesterday — leaving one cop hurt and another reveler arrested, police and attendees said.
The crowd gathered around 9pm at West 120th Street and Morningside Avenue and quickly got out of hand, party-goers said in Facebook posts. “It’s like LA (cali) after a riot out here at Morningside park. Police everywhere. Helicopters in the sky. Madness,” posted Aaron Rose.
The mob first occupied the park, then moved on to the West Side Highway and attempted to climb the fences of Riverbank State Park.A Housing sergeant injured his shoulder trying to quell the crowd, and a 14-year-old was arrested for firing a gun into the air, police said.
“They just shot Teyana Taylor cookout up,” read one post on Twitter, while another noted “After it got dark teyana taylor cookout got mixxy lol ..had to leave.”
Taylor recently signed to Kanye West’s music label.
Here’s what you won’t read in the paper: The 14-year old that shot up the place?
That was his fourth arrest for robbery and weapons violations.
BAM!
By the way, Teyana said none of this is true. They are just haters.

These are just some of the hundreds of examples of racial violence and lawlessness in more than 80 cities around the country as documented in my book: White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence to America.
Thomas Sowell said : ”Reading Colin Flaherty’s book made painfully clear to me that the magnitude of this problem is greater than I had discovered from my own research. He documents both the race riots and the media and political evasions in dozens of cities.” – National Review.
