“The Breakfast Club” co-host DJ Envy reveals the reason why he believes in Stop & Frisk – a program that allows police to stop and question pedestrians and frisk them for weapons and contraband.
He says the reason he believes in the program is because he almost lost his life during an attempted carjacking.
Envy revealed that he was driving to work on September 22 and an SUV pulled up behind him and turned on a red light. Envy said he was suspicious because he knows NYC police cars have red and blue lights, so he didn’t pull over and continued to drive.
The SUV rammed into the back of his car, so he put the pedal to the metal and started going 100mph. That’s when the SUV rammed him once again!
He hopped on the toll road, and the SUV drove up beside him. Envy says he slammed on the brakes. That’s when the SUV got in front of him, so Envy put his car in reverse and drove in reverse down the freeway to get away from him.
A man hopped out the SUV with a black ski mask, pulled out a gun and fired three shots at Envy’s car.
He got emotional while retelling the story, and he said if the gunman had killed him, he would have left his five children without a father.
After he reported the incident to the police, the suspects had just finished carjacking yet another victim on the highway.
He says he now believes all guns should be taken off the streets, and if that means Stop & Frisk needs to be implemented then he’s all for it!
Does he understand that most gun owners in America are white & that white men aren't mostly being stopped & frisked? Does he? If guns were his big problem something along the lines of "we should be really strict on who can buy a gun and regulate gun sellers" would make more sense.
Is that based on the number of registered guns though?
Yes
Are you really sure about those gun/racial statistics, considering there's a HUGE black market here in the U.S for illegal firearms?
I'm talking about the registered guns. Not the ones sold on the black market.
DJ ENVY, IS A STOOPID MUTHA FUCKA!..FIRST OF ALL, THE PO PO CAN'T STOP AND FRISK EVERYBODY, OKAY!…THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE POLICE, HAVING PREVENTED THE INCIDENT, THAT TOOK PLACE WITH ENVY, IS SLIM TO NONE!…HE'S JUST ANOTHER PUPPET MOUTH PIECE, USED TO PUSH CAUCASIAN, IMPOSTER JOO, ONE PERCENT, ELITIST AGENDAS!…FUCK YOU ENVY, OLE LIGHT SKIN BITCH ASS NIGGA!
LOL, Damn! ?
His mother is a CAC.
Just shut up.
Not to be insensitive, but his story is hard to believe unless he's involved with gang members in some way. If he is involved with gang members, he's bringing that element into his life.
The only way to truly fight crime is to attack the source, not the symptom. People committing these crimes are poor and disenfranchised. They're not making these weapons either. Other people are deliberately flooding their communities with weapons (and drugs) because they know those populations are vulnerable. They want to ruin those communities and make money off them between drug money, other crimes, and cheap labor from incarcerated people. Prison labor and private prisons are billion dollar industries.
Not only hard to believe, but what happened to the picture he posted on IG? If it was up, why would he remove it???
Ugh, I hate when they do that. Let me find another pic
Say that!!!
@Anon8:35!…Facts! But society s sleepy and dumb!…Most people believe that we need to be POliced, and they're begging for a larger police presence, in our so-called communities!… No ones really wants to think, take responsibility, or sustain thine self!..✌✌
It's ignorant to blame a child in a poor community for a whole network of crime. It's equally ignorant to ignore the poverty that drives people to this. And I remember a while back, the government was trying to make people pull permits to braid hair. CACs try to make it a crime to legally hustle for your money.
@ANON9:47! YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, IT IS VERY IGNORANT TO BLAME VICTIMS OF SYSTEMATIC POVERTY! BUT LOOK AT THE WORD THAT YOU CHOOSE TO USE!…"IGNORANT"= IGNORE! PEOPLE CHOOSE TO IGNORE THE FACTS THAT SYARING THEM IN THE FACE! MOST AMERICANS AFE CAPITALIST PIGS, THANKS TO THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION!
Ive heard about his name being circulated around hip hop news circles on various sites a few days ago. No doubt this had something to do with whatever drama he was involved in. Looks like someone tried to pull his card.
@Brookly Queen your post are hilarious… that is until i see you using the N Word… please rise above so we can all enjoy your thoughts…
@ANON11:58!…THANKS FOR LOVE!…IF YOU LOVE ME, I'LL LOVE YOU BACK, BUT YOU MUST TAKE ME AS I AM!…I HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXPRESS MYSELF FREELY IN AN OPEN FORUM! AS LONG AS NIGGAS EXIST, I WILL USE THE WORD!…I WILL NOT STIFLE MYSELF, OR BITE MY TONGUE TO APOEASE ANYONE, NOT EVEN MY OWN MAMA! I MUST DO ME! LOVE AND LIGHT FAM!???
WE LIVE IN A HARSH WORLD, WITH PEDERASTY, HOMOSEXUALITY, RAPE, MURDER, WARS, FAMINE, AND DISEASE!…LET'S FOCUS ON THESE THINGS, AND NOT LITTLE, PENNY ANTE BULLSHIT!…CURSING IS THE LEAST OF OUR PROBLEMS WITHIN THIS HELLISH EXISTENCE! LOVE AND LIGHT!
I missed it. What was he driving?! With a name like Envy, he maybe prophesying that into his life. Hope he has full coverage…
LOL!
Rear-ended at 100MPH and no accident? He must be a helluva driver.
The head of the FBI just testified this week before Congress that stop and frisk is an important crime fighting too, WHEN USED CORRECTLY.
Look, negroes in the hood are f*ckin' up; but, when you have the FBI director saying that it is not used correctly, we have a serious cultural flaw in our police departments in America that need to be changed, expunged and terminated. Don't think his own FBI agents haven't been stopped and frisked. These cops in Harlem in the 1990s used to stop black Catholic priests, black ministers, black funeral directors and limo drivers and wall st. negroes. Problem is there is no consequence for police misconduct.
He got the story from New Jersey Drive. lol
The problem with this is that stop and frisk is aimed at taking away second amendment rights and other freedoms and targeting BP. This is just another slavery tactic–instead of asking for your "free papers" they stop you to search allegedly having a weapon. Which is constitutionally illegal, btw. It does not take away guns from mass shooters or American terrorist– the real enemy. Why would anyone support a law that allows one race to be continually targeted and demoralized? We can talk all we want about how it should be used in the right way but we know their are always fools in power and street beats that will abuse it.
I low you were scared Envy but the reality is it was not the gun but the person who tried to rob you. Criminals will always have guns regardless and then the innocent people will not have away to protect themselves. Guns save people lives. Its according to how you are as a Person. An maybe you should think about changing your name. Names and titles attract what they say. Envya feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck.
"she felt a twinge of envy for the people on board"
synonyms: jealousy, covetousness; More
Had they succeeded with no gun, then a baseball bat to the glass followed by a knife or machete. What happened is unfortunate but I wonder what he would do if at 3 am his door is opened and men armed with knives go in for him and his family. Will his own gun help him? Does he expect the cops to materialize right then and there? Think man.
