We hold twitch streamers more accountable than our politicians.
If it was the NYC Mayor offering Migrants free shelter and asylum, and some of the Migrants rushed NYC and caused a riot and mayhem when they had to sleep on the streets, would the Mayor be charged with inciting a riot by offering free Shelters???
Are they inciting riots BESIDES DrUMB MAGA 45? 🤡
Both should be held accountable
kids and social media... they are fuked up. good riddance. i have more of this happens to speed up the realization of how social media should be a thing of the past like bad fashion.
retards and the US, one in the same.
Yep. Trumpers are all over this making it racial too but defend the MAGA riot from January 6th.
This what happens when parents don't teach responsibility to their kids.
Look at the color of those kids
A sea of blacks
Yo all hate it when Black get together. But if it was Donald Trump getting together to give away MAGA hats at the Capitol, yo all OK with it.
U a racists how's this compare to trump
@@hught6885 Perhaps if you tried to communicate properly, you’d get the point across.
This is that new generation! They don't care about no body but themselves.
only black kids tho. Don’t include us in there.
That's a fake new problem, people acted this way for thousands of years.
you dont remember how FERAL people were for Michael Jackson? lol
Who doesn't want free stuff? 😁
They act like animals
These people are just totally out of control. As we have seen, people do not need a reason to riot.
Do you mean THOSE youngsters taking part in that gathering turned riot are out of control? Or are you just scared to say what you really want to say? Who are "these people"?
@@shawd_thompsonblack people
@@Oniijh Yes, let that bigotry out.
@@shawd_thompson I thought it was racism
@@chadm2343 To each his own.
I'm shocked that his fine young fans would act inappropriately. Shocked I tell you.
Well, the crowd is not very diverse tho.
@@x-men69-96 What? Oh, gee, you're right! Funny. I hadn't noticed that.
😲🤭

@@hught6885 No because that is completely different from what Cenat did. No comparison.
No wonder it's like BLM riot over again..😮💨
wouldn't be surprised if he gets sued and held reliable for all the damage to private property... he is a must- multi- millionaire
"Held reliable" 😂
You can easily tell those are Kai Cenat-s fans 😑

@@hught6885 Youre so dumb that its embarassing.
The giveaway, even just a meet and greet, is considered part of the business, essentially advertising to drive up viewership & engagement. He opened himself up to alot of liability. Impacted businesses can sue, the people that fell off the SUV... What fricking idiots would think about doing something like this without planning. He's prob even liable for the minors getting in trouble as he amped up an already screwed up situation.
And who created these so called “influencers.” Social media companies should also be held accountable.
So should the power companies and grocery stores.
@@BackWaysDown the parents of who ever created those companies as well
@@BackWaysDownthose employed by Android, IOS, and Windows.
@DougiePlaysSoccer Cmon man. No platform force people to follow some knucklehead on social media, it's all personal responsibility and judgement. Nowadays people always want to blame others for their lack of judgement.
Twitch bots..😂
This generation is last.
Tool had it right with their song "Aenima".
This is going to make him even more popular. By a lot!
🤓🤡
To idiots sure. But for grown adults who actually have money to buy PS5? Nah.
@@Xaero324 agreed but he’s now created an army of kids that will want to be part of the movement. Which could be dangerous look it how quickly he mobilized all those people. That’s a different level of power.
@@Xaero324then why are you here bozo?
If he isn't in jail. He and his team knew this would be brutal, they say as much in his videos.
All I saw was he had something that could be activated and bought gift cards and never actually any PS5's in clips of him or photos. He would have to have dozens if not hundreds for any sort of decent giveaway. He isn't some random small following person.
@@BenjyB15 Well I can't find it anywhere just a few seconds of him with gift cards potentially in his hand. He showed on video stacks of PS5's? Is it saved anywhere?
You know these kids can just get a job and easily get a ps5 first paycheck? 😂😂🤦🏽♂️
I just got mines but I don’t have a job rn
Where the parents at
what parents?
Your gonna say all them kids were confused cause it’s Fathers Day
If there’s a Walmart in that neighborhood, it’s closing soon.
Dang Pimpin T charges didn’t even come this quickly lol
I didn’t see Donald Trump get charged this fast and this kid didn’t even started like Trump really did so he shouldn’t be getting charge for anything trying to give away free stuff in this young youth generation or just stupid
Yes. Trump started a riot on January 6th.
@@vshah1010Trump is not charged for inciting a riot on Jan 6th. Look it up.
🤡 It's just got indicated
@@ILoveTheAllCreator you mean he got indicted .? and look how long it took for that to happen
@re9473 You are talking about two different instances. One is cut and dry. Literally, Duke is committing crimes on camera and has an ad posted all over the web as premeditated offense. The other includes several co-conspirators that have political influence. It's called building a case to make you have everything in order to thwart potential fallacies that the defense can use to lead to it being thrown out. ✌️
The crowd is very diverse. lol
It really is as you can clearly see Whites, Hispanics, and mullato kids as well....😑
@@thesadtruth7971 yes, a lot of Asian
Y’all acting like y’all don’t shoot up schools come off your high horse
I’m tired of these corny ass comments
He knew what he was doing. Throw his ass in prison
Woahh Calm down ethan
If he gets found guilty it will be a sign the US is a lost cause… he didnt ask for the riot.. the kids that caused damage and harm need to be taught a lesson and taken to court and charged..
On air Cenat’s buddy kept saying security needs to be setup, and then a second buddy in green hoody shaking his head no.
This kid sits behind a computer all day. I bet he doesn’t know how to ride a bike. Gen z in a nutshell
Why is he being charged when a woman in Florida at the Brandon mall gun went off. that is more or equally dangerous. make it make sense how the law is applied from state to state.
To think these are liberals voting. Embarrassing
Never heard of her.
As some one from NYC especially the bronx he should know damn well how NYC operates.
I don't believe he's from Bronx, he probably from Westchester
Children after COVID. You put a thousand kids in a park and this is what they resort to…. Real life Lord of the Flies.
it’s cuz they’re black
Never heard of him
Who is she, even?
He's going to be so broke.
Jan 6th they didn't arrest anybody inside capitol or around, they waited months to arrest criminals, did they get prior approvals to storm the capitol? and the one who incited violence still free after 2 years.
But kids went crazy here for gaming stuff, actions swift and aggressive. how and why?
"of the sixty people arrested, more than half were minors." Any other identifiable characteristics? Anything at all?
If only there were some way to tell...
Bro y’all act like y’all don’t shoot up schools
It was a mostly peaceful protest. 😂😂😂
And humanity has lowered the bar once again. Just go's to show everyone where are social standards are. So instead of helping people in need, this what we get a riots in the streets trying to hurt one another.
Not sure who is to blame when something goes "viral". If I post something intended just for my friends but my friends share it and it becomes viral, am I responsible when a thousand people show up?
@@LadieKatie -- not sure my hypothetical applies to him though. My hypothetical involves me sending an invitation just to my friends and it going viral beyond my control. This guy has 20,000,000 followers so when he sends something out "just to his friends" he's sending it out to 20,000,000 people.
@@LadieKatie -- pfft his permit would probably have been denied. I don't know who he is either because I'm not 14 years old. I think in this case he's 100% to blame but his defense team could argue he didn't know his event would become viral and they might have a case.
Yes you are.
@@sirmadam8183 -- in that case anyone who posted anything on the internet might be subjected to criminal charges, so I think not
@@LadieKatie -- why are you mixing apples with orange?
How you get a felony on yo day off
Send him the bill for all damages and city resources. Break him
Hater
I love going to those things and just smashing stuff so it connects with the creator
🙋🏾♀️ and he needs to go to jail and was fucked up. If you tell any of those parents out there they ciao did this and did that the parent will deny it and curse you out but these children are the reflection of their parents💯💯💯
this is the problem with society: social media and the gulible. good riddance
Will he be fined for all the damages and police support?
The "diversity" of these "criminals" never surprises me.
January the 6th wasn't very diverse at all yet here you are making things racial...
@@thesadtruth7971 I don't get why you morons keep on bringing up Jan 6. I'm Asian and Jan 6 was at least tame compare to these morons rioting and looting.
Recognizing a need for greater responsibility also means owning your part in facilitating this chaos. Condoning or not is irrelevant when his recklessness played a part in making this happen.
People in this country are a mess and got their priorities all wrong. When the entire world watches the leadership in Washington DC and sees New York riots, Minneapolis riots, DC riots. No wonder the Europeans laugh and the Japanese laugh. This so embarrassing for all of us.
Lol. His lawyer gave that response. Youd be doing drugs to think this man said that shi*
I STILL don’t know who this guy is!?!
Imagine if he was giving out books. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Were there even playstations to begin with ? I still haven't seen any videos of any pile of games or hardware.
all this for a ps5 seems crazy
Crazy how they charging him before the people on epstienes client list they won't release 😭🤣👀
Yall didnt charge travis scott with that
Came for the PS5 stayed for the riot
Twitch might get sued by NYC due to this streamer’s poor planning and decision making.
Just what he wanted. Worldwide coverage
Kai got motion
this is generation Z means zero: zero manners and zero respect
Good. Online actions should carry consequence like any other action.
Won't be surprised to find him with the same fate as Tupac.....lol.
For a dam giveaway? 🤣🤦🏾♀️Cmon New Yorkers really for a dam giveaway! Its that bad out there🥴
Throw the book at him!
For what giving back?
I wish these people were more motivated to go find a job and get their own things instead of wanting to get free things from others.
Never heard of him until all this occurred
A bunch of bs what trump did & he's trying to get out of it and what this kid he instantly is being charged..
yeaaaa i dont think he should be charged with a felony.
Inciting a riot? Getting charged? They actually said he should know his popularity and influence and what could happen...Guess it's ok if you're a 🍊politician
Some of the fighting was defense; so that intolerable?
Not in my small town 🤫
Ain’t nobody getting charged nypd just mad that actually had to get up and do some work
Well I think we can assume this social media career is done. Hope he’s prepare for a perma ban from all social platforms.
Influencer?? Bs if that's a influencer... Stop calling people names they can't step up to
Got out of there, before I got thanked by George!
Do the orange guy next
Being cringy should be acrime
Yes, let's get a bunch of young arrogant black men together. Dude got what he deserves.
Lock him up 😂
60 people arrested? No I feel like there were way more crimes committed.
Over what, gaming, pc a play station......wait till we have real problems like no power long term, something worse then covid, our society is gone mad, we have no future if we continue down this road.
What a beautiful, vibrant culture.
minors arrested ??? nah free them it’s not their fault bro all they wanted to do is win a giveaway i hate nypd
HE needs to be put in jail and made to pay the tax payers back for this stupid stunt people could of been killed over a hand full of games this is not a game this is lives put at risk!
Bro did he tell them to act like that? No he didn’t why are u so eager to blame Kai but if this was trump he wouldn’t have gotten the same treatment
This is why we have rules kids...sorry if you don't like them. It's what keeps us civilized and separate from the animals
So did anyone actually get anything for free?
"Thats was epic" much more better than you. Stream for what u have and how much you own????
Parade the head clowns around.
So Kai Cenat basically is raising these kids and thus why they came in droves to meet their virtual daddy/cult leader
Based.
Did anybody even win the giveaway? Lol
He’s a fool with his goons
Charged with what???? Big deal...its just a slap on the wrist.....
I hope he gets charged for inciting a mob leading to violence. Wlm
Bunch of sheep is all I see follow the freebies!🙄
You cant have a problem with this and not have a problem with January 6
Twitch should kick Kai Cenat off their platform.
Get yo hatin ass on somewhere
Even if they did there are more places to stream
All i see is NPC’s and bot comments yall all need to get a life fr
I've never heard of this guy..
Now the whole world knows
I just hate him. Using' give a away" for fame.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ratchet, Ratchet andddd Ratchet.
As hell.
This guy is being punished more than Trump 😂
All he was doing with showing love y'all can't do that to him you want to see a real riot go to San Quentin prison
Guy should be locked up
THROW TRUMP IN PRISON if they're gonna imprison Cenat!!
