Here's the famous "Traición en Aristides Chavier" Video

Here's the video that has everybody buzzing. Kids playing at grown ups with toy guns. This was filmed at Aristdes Chavier housing project in Ponce. I'll show the video. You make your own conclusions.

First observation: the media is building a storm in a glass of water.

Second observation: where are the parents in all this?

Third observation: interesting documentation of the perception of the "dealer culture" from ground level.

Fourth observation: kids, this is mouth soap: learn it, live it, love it.

Fifth observation: the li'l kid with the cutoff jeans and no shirt ain't half bad as an actor... ain't half good either though...

Sixth observation: DOESN'T THE MEDIA HAVE BETTER THINGS TO CONCERN THEMSELVES WITH THAN THIS??? SHEESH!

You guys must be kidding me, right?

How many of the so-called "adults" played Cowboys & Indians or Cops'm Robbers when they were kids? How many of them pestered their parents to buy them Han Solo's laser blaster or Luke's lightsaber when Star Wars first came out in 1977? How many of them played Duck Hunt on the old Nintendo 8-bit system as teenagers? And how many of them got the M-16 toy replicas that were so popular when the TV show S.W.A.T. first aired?

If ignorance is bliss, then hypocrisy must be nirvana.
