After the murder of Jacqueline Avant, Wack 100 took to Instagram to vent his concerns about the legal system. Above all, Wack 100 voices the need for more strict penalties for armed robberies and home invasions.
“No explanation or No excuses,” he starts. “She’s your mother, your aunt, your grandmother, the family’s friend. She didn’t deserve this. A lot of robberies & home invasions going down. DO WE DEFUND THE POLICE NOW? Naw, laws need to change mandatory 25 yrs for a home invasion and the right to murder the ones found in your home or trying to gain entry. Eliminate the call the police or if there fleeing the home part of the law!”
“This needs to be addressed,” Wack proclaimed. “Streets & Prisons need to punish anybody that hits those jails. Needs to be a paperwork check upon entry …. Don’t WAIT UNTIL IT HAPPENS TO ONE OF YOURS.”
