Youtube and Tik Tok Influencer Kai Cenot apparently promised a huge giveaway to his millions of followers in New York City today. Followers believed he would be downtown giving away gaming systems and I-pads. As expected, this turned into a very dangerous situation.
New York City is completely out of control. Kai Cenat, a popular Twitch streamer, held a giveaway that turned into a massive riot in Union Square. Police were outnumbered, and the mayor remains silent. pic.twitter.com/U4rp9nnSBr

Not sure on total arrests but Kai Cenat was arrested.
— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) August 4, 2023
12 people injured.
2000 people at the event.
Apparently, Kai Cenat has been arrested for inciting this event and not having a permit for this gathering.
So someone shot them self’s in the arm and liberals are throwing a temper tantrum over a promised huge giveaway. Please tell me exactly what the reason is for a justified riot??? Typical liberals https://t.co/GdqRNakfI2

They'll probably use this for a reason for more gun control laws.
I despise this generation. No respect for anyone or anything. Hell, the way they act they don’t even have respect for themselves. Absolutely absurd and unwarranted behavior. They think its cute and funny. https://t.co/MfYBzKwrkr

Giving away free PS5s in the middle of NYC to a bunch of teenagers..... what could possibly go wrong 🙄 https://t.co/Hg4iuK0orr

Also, it's just a terrible idea to tell any generation of teenagers they can come receive expensive gifts with no plan for safety. That is just asking for trouble.
This behavior we’re seeing all across the country is a direct response to the protests in 2020. Police didn’t really do shit and people saw that, if there were enough dumb asses, cops would stand down. Now this is a weekly occurrence https://t.co/qMrC2JzBq7

So true! Americans saw the cops and our government stand down during the summer of 2020 and now we have a whole generation of people who don't believe there is any benefit to law and order. It's a real shame.
