WOW , you people have just realized that free speach is IMPORTANT to people!!!!!!
Just like a small ignorant community that lacks understanding of REAL gang violence, the proof is in the pudding, you are banning a mainstream entertainer with a past (even Sheriff Mike Kanalakis has one of those) for an idiology you are missinterpreting as equivalent to your current 'local' issues.
By the way , try educating the parents in your community if you are having an issue with gang violence instead of wasting everybody's time with this overly simplified "making an example" out of a foreign entertainer with nothing to do with your problem.
This issue reeks of ignorance, I feel sorry for the promoter though , chances are unless you really make ammends, you will not be seeing his contribution to your economy after this.

Though Snoop Dog may have been involved in the criminal eliment as a youngster, this is no reason to hold him in contempt for the rest of his life. He realized his talent at a young age and is now a success not only in business but in his personal life. We all have different tastes in music and just because someone does not like or agree with his style, that is no reason to try and censor him from those of us who are his fans. Turning away this artist would have denied the county much needed revenue as well as the promised donation to the gang prevention program in the county. I applaud the Sheriff's Dept and the Board of Supervisors for making the right decision.
