According to Wikipedia, from 2015 to 2016, Mr Black/Octave has been arrested for assault, robbery, kidnapping, driving with a suspended licence, armed robbery, battery, false imprisonment of a child, possession of cannabis, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and fleeing from officers.
In August of 2016, he appeared in court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Atlantic Records Vice-President (((Michael Kushner))) told the court he "has a bright future as a recording artist." After pleading no contest to all charges, he was placed on house arrest for one year, had five years' probation, was to perform community service as required, and take anger management classes.
In September of 2016, Kodak Black pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor drug charges and was sentenced to four months in jail. He was credited for time spent in custody awaiting trial and was required to serve 120 days. He was also suspended from driving for one year.
He was released from jail in Florida, and was then transported to Florence SC to face charges of sexual assault. The victim testified that she had attended a February 2016 performance by Kodak Black, after which she accompanied him to his hotel room where he is alleged to have told her he "couldn't help himself" as he tore off her clothes, bit her repeatedly, and raped her as she screamed for help.
After posting a $100,000 bond, Mr Black was released from custody on 1 December 2016. He returned to court on 8 February 2017, after being arrested again for violation of his probation. In April of 2017, Kodak Black was indicted by a grand jury in South Carolina, and was scheduled to go on trial in April 2019 in Florence, South Carolina on a charge of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. This was later postponed.
Also in April 2017, he appeared in court in Florida, where his anger management counsellor spoke about him disrupting her class, by constantly burping, even after he was asked to leave. When the counsellor threatened to call 9-1-1, he grabbed her phone and her wrist. Being a good liberal, she recommended that Mr Black participate in individual, rather than group. On 4 May 2017, he was sentenced for violating his house arrest to 364 days in the Broward County Jail, with the possibility of an early release if he completes a "life skills" course. He was released on one month later.
In January of 2018, Kodak Black was arrested inside of his Pembroke Pines FL home on multiple charges stemming from an Instagram live-feed video showing him passing marijuana and a gun around a small child. He initially faced seven felony charges including child neglect, grand theft of a firearm, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and marijuana possession. On 22 February 2018, three charges were dropped, and he pleaded not guilty to the remaining two. On 17 April, he was sentenced to 364 days in prison with credit for time served. He was released on 18 August 2018.
Mr Black/Octave cooled it for a few months in Canada, to which he was admitted in spite of his criminal record. Then, on 17 April 2019, he was arrested by United States Customs and Border Protection after border authorities found marijuana and a Glock in his car. He was charged with third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, and unlawful possession of marijuana. A week, while he was out on bail and on tour, the FBI and Boston cops searched one his tour buses [plural? Ed.] in which they found weapons. Kodak didn't get pinched on that one because it was "unclear" whether or not the bus was actually his.
They got him on 11 May, though, when Miami and federal officers arrested him on state and federal firearm charges, plus two counts of making a false statement on a governmental form, apparently stemming from his attempt to purchase firearms in January. He filed to use his $600,000 home as collateral for his $500,000 bond for the indictments and was granted the bond, being released. He reportedly faced up to ten years in prison on the charges, and pleaded not guilty on 15 May.
Federal prosecutors, however, attempted to revoke Kodak Black's bail, pointing to past violent crimes, such as a 2012 carjacking incident, and his possible connections to a shooting in March of 2019. The arrest had the potential to cause his bond in the 2016 South Carolina rape case to be revoked. Federal prosecutors stated that he posed a danger to society [Imagine dat! Ed.] due to his long history of criminal acts as well as his repeated violation of past probation rules.
[How much more is there? Ed.] Still quite a bit. On 11 March 2020, Kodak Black pleaded guilty to a firearms possession charge related to his detention at the Canada-US border. The court considered a sentence of 2 to 7 years, to run concurrently with his 46-month sentencing for lying on federal paperwork. On 19 January 2021, President Trump commuted the sentence for the 2020 conviction, but he still faced the Florence SC charges. On 28 April 2021, Kodak pled guilty to a lesser charge of first degree assault and battery, and was sentenced to 18 months probation.
But wait (as Vince Offer used to say), there's still more... A couple of months later, Kodak failed a drug test, which was a violation of his supervised release terms. He was subsequently ordered by a judge to enter a rehab centre for 90 days, from which he was discharged in December.
Sure enough, on New Year's Day 2022, Kodak was arrested in Pompano Beach FL for trespassing. This past July 15th, his vehicle was stopped by Florida Highway Patrol because the window tint appeared darker than the legal limit. His driver’s license and vehicle tag were also expired. Police detected a smell of marijuana and searched the vehicle, finding a bag with 31 oxycodone tablets and almost $75,000 in cash. He was charged with trafficking in oxycodone and possession of a controlled substance, and on 20 July was placed on house arrest, having violated the terms of his supervised release.
Kodak Black is by way of being a poster child for the criminal stereotype of Black (or African-American or the current PC term) males, i.e. that they are all dangerous criminals. About the only thing Mr Black hasn't been found guilty of, so far, is murder.
The origin of this stereotype is the fact that as a demographic, black men are proportionally over-represented in the numbers of those that are arrested and convicted for committing crimes. In 2015, according to official FBI statistics, 51.1% of people arrested for homicide were black, even though blacks account for just 13.4% of the total population of the US of A. That is the source of the 13/52 meme which is now derided liberals as a white supremacist excuse for anti-black racism.
But those are 2015's figures, right? Surely things have improved since then, with progressive Democrats in the White House and in control of Congress. Right? Errr, no. In 2021, blacks accounted for 60.4% of known murder offenders -- a new record for black dominance of murders, up from a record 56.5% in 2020.
You can argue until you're blue [or red? Ed.] in the face about the reasons for this phenomenon, but the fact is that the new meme is 13/60! Nothing can be done to solve the problem of deadly black crime problem until the liberals admit the errors of their ideology, and face up to the truth.
Note from Ed.: Justin Johnson and Cornelius Smith, pictured above, are both of the coloured persuasion, and both describe themselves as rap artists.
