Walter Tipton should be fired for booking the rap concert, which ended in a shooting outside the Convention Center at the beginning of the month.

If Tipton did not investigate the performer, he did not do his job, and our convention center deserves better use.

Lil Boosie is a wannabe gangster, and advocates violence, drugs and lawlessness. No wonder it ended in a shooting.

I believe in our freedoms, but not when it harms others. Natchez does not need to be promoting gangster rap. Gangster rappers contribute nothing good to society. They scare people, and they know it. That’s power to them.

Little do they know, they will never be respected, and never achieve anything in their life worth being proud of.
