Shame! Jonathan Reitzell, co-owner with Mojeed Martins of the noise-polluting Kamp Houston, and of Mount Prospect, where three valet-parking employees were recently killed. Many African-Americans are incensed by the cavalier attitude Reitzell and Martins display regarding the harm they are doing to he African-American community in Houston. The grades of the son of one of my neighbors, for example, dropped precipitously because of the never-ending wall of noise, so that now he is getting all-too-many F’s on his report card. But Reizell and Martins could not care less.
Really, nothing more needs to be said than this:
If Jonathan Reitzell and Moheed Martins have an answer to the question posed in the link above, I have not seen it. They are, however, doubtlessly too busy adding to Houston’s Wall Of Shame to be thinking too hard about an answer.
The sheer amorality of keeping a club open during the COVD-19 pandemic is worsened by the fact that the club caters largely to members of the community hardest-hit by the pandemic. Many of the comments made here are apropos:
It would be amazing if the normally crowded Kamp Houston did not spawn numerous super-spreader events, and the African American mayor of Houston, Sylvester Turner, would almost certainly dearly love to shut this potential swamp of disease and noise pollution down. Arresting and fining everyone from the venue owners (that is to say, Messrs. Reitzell and Martins) to the artists to the patrons would be a plus.
…he’s [Mayor Turner has] been trying to shut these clubs down for months but because of the governor he can’t. He’s done everything he could do to stop the spread

Governor Abbott took the power away from local officials to put a capacity limit in these places otherwise everyone from the venue owners to the artists to the patrons should have been arrested and fined.
Having said all this these people are reckless and stupid and if they get sick all of them should be treated with the lowest priority.

The Republican governor of Texas, of course, is sure to see reducing the African American population as a feature and not a bug. That way he need not have to work so hard to prevent the African American vote from being counted:
the republican governors don’t care that the black communities/cities aren’t following guidelines bc they are waiting for covid to wipe them out.
they know white peoples will be fine lol

And although I am no critic of rap music, I really do have to wonder if those who catch COVID-19 at a Bow Wow concert hosted by Kamp Houston might die of embarrassment first:
Crowd full of clowns. How you risk your health to see a Bow Wow concert in 2021?
Contributor Helwa
Wait. Ppl actually paid money and risked their lives to see a Bow Wow concert in 2021?Crowd full of clowns. How you risk your health to see a Bow Wow concert in 2021?
Contributor OriginalDonDada
I can only imagine how many folks will lie on their contact tracing from sheer embarrassment. A BOW WOW CONCERT?!
Contributor SouthernNotCountry
Imagine having to say your loved one died because he got Covid at a Bow Wow concert.
I’d lie. I’m not gon’ let my people go out like that. Say they got it somewhere more respectful. Like, the grocery store.
Contributor gossiplover4044
The grocery store, however, is not likely to be hosting a packed maskless crowd:
No this fool [Bow Wow] didn’t try to make himself a victim because he was called out for promoting & performing to a packed maskless crowd during a pandemic.

who in the hell is risking they life to go see Bow Wow.

The situation is sad. The primary tool local officials have is public shame [such as Mayor Turner’s Wall Of Shame] since the southern governors are more committed to Trump than public health.
I don’t have time to post them right now but the – you willing to die, kill your grandmother, meet Peter at the Pearly Gates before your time for Bow Wow? jokes and memes are funny.

“Folks in Houston got some explaining to do. What’s wrong with your city??!!” contributor Nikki Brady remarks. Should I provide a list, starting with Governor Abbot’s interference, and continuing with the greed and irresponsibility of certain entrepreneurs?
(And don’t get me started on the wage-theft lawsuits. Right now I am focusing just on death-and-disease swamps, not on possible wage theft. Take a look at https://casetext.com/case/dinh-v-weruntexas-llc and at https://www.leagle.com/decision/infdco20191122763)
“[H]onestly, no one is being held accountable for how badly this pandemic has been handled”, says contributor Est[Aaspeeping with reference to Kamp Houston and Bow Wow. Well yes, everyone involved — Governor Abbot, Messrs Reitzell and Martins, the patrons who foolishly think they will be living forever and who, amorally, don’t care who all they infect, all the reviewers who say nothing about the damage being done to the African American community, that whiny Rapper Bow Wow who accuses Mayor Turner of not liking him, the smug and despicable teenage parking attendants — all need to be held accountable and exposed.
Or, to state this a bit more concretely, may they all go to hell.
J’accuse — yet again.
The depths of the amorality of people like this depresses. Down with polluters of all stripes, noise polluters most especially!
To Arms, Neighbors and Citizens!
