No Snoop Dogg for Woodward Park

Rapper Snoop Dogg performs with the Los Angeles Rams cheerleaders during halftime of the NFL wild-card playoff game against the Atlanta Falcons on Jan. 6 in Los Angeles. He is one of the headline acts set for the two-day Grizzly Fest at Fresno’s Woodward Park in May 2018.

Wow, I can't believe The Bee would devote so much space to Snoop Dogg (a cancer to the music industry) possibly performing at Woodward Park.

With that said, I sure do feel sorry for the neighborhoods that are close to the park and the park itself. Just imagine the rap blaring through the neighborhoods up until the hour of midnight, with crime to follow. Let's don't forget about the destruction of the park, with all the litter and trash, along with the gangbangers tagging everything that can be tagged.

C'mon Fresno City Council, vote no dice on this nonsense.
