The billionaire owner of Washington, DC's NHL and NBA teams has decided to move their home base to Virginia seemingly due to a child's loud rapping.
Ted Leonsis announced last month that he will be moving the Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards out of its current home - Capital One Arena in downtown DC - to a newly developed arena in the DC suburb of Alexandria, Virginia.
Virginia State lawmakers have approved the funding and the plans to build an arena in the city's Potomac Yard Neighborhood, according to the Washington Post.
Despite the mayor announcing a $500 million funding for a renovation of Capital One Arena, many believe that the reason for the movie is due to the blaring loud music outside his office caused by a man and two kids.
David Halmon, his 11-year-old son J-Money and his other son have been rapping in front of the arena at ear-splitting volume, using a pair of loudspeakers and an amplifier, causing issues for residents and businesses in the area for the last seven years.
Howard Marks, who lives in a condo building in the area, told the Washington Post that he paid more than $6,000 to soundproof his unit.
Before deciding to do so, he said he and his partner 'could hardly watch TV or could hardly talk to each other without raising our voices.'
However, Halmon told the Post that 'they tried to drive us out' and that Leonsis offered him a deal 'to not be right here' but he did not agree.
In early December, the father was arrested and charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine.
He was sent to jail for a couple of weeks and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor drug-possession charge, which local described as a 'period of welcome quiet.'

“his 11-year-old son J-Money”
Drug possession and intent to distribute......daddy sounds like terrific role model.
I assume there’s noise statutes on the books thst aren’t being enforced.
They are doing it on purpose because they know it annoys people.
6 grand will get the attention of a half-dozen bikers.
Any hi-rises in egg throwing range?
Rap/HipHop is racist hate speech pushing a violent culture to feral animals.
It is NOT music.
It is an ugly form of indoctrination.
From the 1963 Congressional “45 Goals of Communism”:
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
(The same song 24/7?)
How can anyone tell the difference?
All I hear is BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM through nearly-destroyed speakers 🔊🔊🔊🔊
I call it preaching.
Indeed and Inspired by Satan.
And because they’re black so they know there won’t be any consequences.
Law enforcement cannot do anything about this situation?
Yep - one complaint and watch the NAACP and SLPC step in to SUE SUE SUE.
Is there any kind of noise ordinance or noise curfew?????
Such a vibrant culture!
Judge them by the conduct of their culture not by the color of their skin.
apparently not if they’ve been at it for 7 years
A billionaire can’t afford a hitman?
wouldn’t even need that....just some rival aspiring rappers
The kids should be in school.
Which brings up this question: If the word "nigger" is so offensive to black people why do these talent-less 'artists' seem to use it in their recordings every chance possible?
Six years? I would think the use of amplification would be problematic. In most municipalities there are established noise levels acceptable from amplified equipment. Perhaps the PTB feel it would be racist to interrupt their culturally uplifting performance. If nothing else, pour a soft drink into their PA system. Do it again. They will surely tire of buying new equipment. I mean, if one were walking past them and became distracted due to their dulcet renderings, it would seem plausible that one might lose one’s footing and trip, therefore spilling orange soda onto their mixing console.
