Everyone’s talking about this viral YouTube video by “Tommy G”. Tommy G set up a meet with the Kia Boys to give them a voice, he says. He met them somewhere in Milwaukee and asked them to do a “Day in the Life” video while being interviewed. After agreeing not to show their faces or plates, they proceeded with the video.
Tommy G asked questions like, “So how does it work?” and from there, the Kia Boys explained that they find a car, break off the ignition and start it with an iPhone charger. From there, they ride the city, recklessly.
“Just Get Out the Way.” They said.
Once they’re done driving for the day they then park the cars inside of abandoned garages.
They find a joy and laughter in stealing and driving cars dangerously. When ask about being afraid of death, they responded indifferently. They know at some point they all have to die.
Police and other officials don’t like the documentary because it encourages others to join, in their opinion.
At some point the Kia Boys promised a “Bloody Summer” saying, “A lot of people gon’ die.”
These boys still find value in their education and even have dreams of being successful. They feel they’re untouchable because the typical punishment for this behavior is a slap on the wrist for 3 weeks, they say.
The entire documentary was sad and eye opening. These kids are in danger without even knowing it. It’s like they created a new world for themselves. It personally took me back and hurt my heart because it’s clear that these kids don’t value their life.
They don’t believe what they’re doing is as bad as it is. They clearly need help and lots of guidance. They need some people that can relate and find a way to catch their attention, give them love, and earn their respect.
Many guys from the neighborhood they live in said that they tried to get them to stop but they won’t.
In this state, what should we do? Did you see the documentary? What are your thoughts? What is the solution to this Kia Boys problem, here, in Milwaukee?
