Introduction to the Issue [02:01 - 07:05]

In this episode, Charlamagne Tha God addresses a troubling incident involving a 19-year-old named Lucas Limbeck. Lucas was arrested in Boston for allegedly handing a bomb threat note to a stranger at an Urban Outfitters store, coupled with a piece of Starburst candy. The note read, "I have a bomb. Don't say a f-ing word."

Charlamagne Tha God initiates the discussion:

"19 year old Lucas Limbeck was arrested on a charge of bomb hijack threat... I knew better. See, we may have played with guns, dabbled in drugs, but I, you know, never wanted to be Osama Bin Laden." [02:15]

He emphasizes the severity of the act, especially in the context of Boston's history with the 2013 Marathon bombing:

"Remember the bombing at the Boston Marathon in 2013... the trauma of that day still lingers in Boston." [03:00]

Detailed Breakdown of the Incident [03:00 - 05:00]

Charlamagne elaborates on how Lucas executed the prank:

"Lucas decided to go into an Urban Outfitters in Boston and he handed a random shopper a note... 'It's National Starburst day. I want you to have this.'" [04:00]

However, the note escalated to a bomb threat:

"The note said, I have a bomb. Don't say a f-ing word." [04:15]

Charlamagne criticizes the misguided belief that such actions would go viral or be perceived as harmless:

"You think everybody knows about this prank because it's going viral on social media? No, we grown as hell." [05:00]

Legal and Social Implications [05:00 - 07:05]

Discussing the legal consequences, Charlamagne notes:

"In Boston, a charge like bomb hijack threat can get you no less than three years. No more than 20 years." [06:00]

He highlights the lack of awareness among youths regarding the gravity of their actions:

"Kids, you always have to factor in the cost of the crime you're committing. Can you afford to go to jail?" [06:45]

Reactions and Analysis [07:05 - 08:20]

Kevin Smith and Harley Quinn Smith express their disapproval of such pranks:

Harley Quinn Smith: "I hate those videos when I see people running up on folks in the store... I cannot stand that." [07:06]
Charlamagne Tha God: "Because y'all don't even be funny. Now this 19-year-old kid has a charge... You are the donkey of the day." [07:35]

Charlamagne underscores the real dangers these antics pose:

"Somebody puts a bucket on an old man’s head... People lose their lives over things like that." [07:30]
"Everything ain't funny. It's serious. It's not funny all the time." [07:50]

District Attorney’s Statement [06:30 - 07:05]

Charlamagne cites the District Attorney's statement reinforcing the seriousness of the prank:

"The DA said, it's difficult to fathom how anyone would consider it a prank to hand a note... Such a reckless action causes fear and comes with consequences." [06:50]

Conclusion and Insights [08:20 - 09:00]

Charlamagne concludes by urging listeners, especially the youth, to consider the repercussions of their actions beyond the quest for social media fame:

"You think I'm not supposed to take jihad serious? If you a blow pop bomber, you still a bomber. Take all acts of terror serious." [06:50]

He emphasizes the importance of understanding the legal and personal costs:

"Can you afford a lawyer? Can you afford bail? Because those followers you try to impress... they're not going to bail you out." [06:30]

Key Takeaways:

• Seriousness of Threats: Even if intended as a prank, bomb threats are treated with utmost seriousness, especially in cities with traumatic histories like Boston.

• Social Media Influence: The desire for viral content can blur the lines between harmless fun and dangerous misconduct.

• Legal Consequences: Acts like these carry severe legal repercussions, including potential imprisonment.

• Responsibility and Awareness: Young individuals must weigh the consequences of their actions and recognize the impact on others.

Notable Quotes:

• Charlamagne Tha God: "You think everybody knows about this prank because it's going viral on social media? No, we grown as hell." [05:00]

• Charlamagne Tha God: "If you a blow pop bomber, you still a bomber. You should take all acts of terror serious, even if they come with a Twizzler." [06:30]

• Kevin Smith: "It's a work in progress." [10:49] (Note: Although outside the main content, it reflects the ongoing nature of understanding such issues.)

Conclusion:

This episode of The Breakfast Club serves as a stark reminder of the thin line between humor and harm. Charlamagne Tha God, along with his co-hosts, delves deep into the repercussions of thoughtless pranks, especially those that can incite fear and distress. The discussion underscores the importance of responsibility, the weight of legal consequences, and the need for greater awareness among the youth about the potential fallout of their actions in the age of social media.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

There's a bunch of donkeys out here in the street.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That is why Charlemagne is here.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

If we live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we may have seen, we never would say it.

[Kevin Smith]

On the Breakfast Club.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

In the words of Charlemagne, the God, he's a donkey. Oh, man. Charlamagne. You giving donkey today? To who now? Well, Busta Rhymes, Donkey of the day for Thursday, March 27th goes to Lucas Limbeck. Okay, Lucas is a 19 year old kid who was arrested on a charge of bomb hijack threat. Now I've had some nut ass charges in my day, but I've never been accused of anything like this simply because as crazy as it sounds, I knew better. See, we may have played with guns, dabbled in drugs, but I, you know, never wanted to be Osama Bin laden. Okay, Timothy McVeigh was not an inspiration. The only blowing up we wanted to do as kids was the kind of blowing up Martin Lawrence was talking about. But this generation is different. See, Lucas decided to go into an Urban outfitters in Boston and he handed a random shopper a note. Okay, A note with a piece of starburst candy. Apparently it was National Starburst day or maybe he made that up. But prosecutor said he handed over a note and the note said, well no, he said, it's National Starburst day. I want you to have this. Then he walked away. But when the shopper read the note, the note said, I have a bomb. Don't say a effing word. I repeat, the note said, I have a bomb. Don't say a f ing word. Now I'm sure this would be a stressful experience for anyone anywhere in America to receive a note like this. But keep in mind I said it was Boston. Okay? Remember the bombing at the Boston Marathon in 2013 when those two terrorists detonated some explosives and killed three people and injured more than 500. I am sure the trauma of that day still lingers in residence of Boston. So for a person to receive a note like that in Boston hit different. Now this is the part that pisses me off and the reason this young man is getting donkey of the day. See, investigators came, they reviewed the security footage and they saw someone matching the man's description. Then the shopper, while talking to cops, saw the person who handed him the note. 19 year old Lucas didn't even try to get get away. He didn't even try to flee the scene. So when officers approached him and asked him if he'd been in the urban outfitters, he replied, I don't believe so. But then when the cops started reading him his rights and he realized, oh, it's getting real. Then he admitted to passing the note and he said, and I quote, I thought the shopper would know it was a prank. Sir, why in the hell would the shopper be in on your little reindeer games? See, this is the problem. When you social media minded, when you doing Things for the love of TikTok. You think everybody knows about this prank because it's going viral on social media? No, we grown as hell. So if you walk up to me with a note and a Starburst saying you got a bomb, I'm going to take you at your word. Starburst been bin Laden. Okay? Osama bin Snacking on candy. How I'm supposed to know you playing? You think I'm not supposed to take jihad serious? Just because you presented with a Jolly Rancher not saying he was committing jihad, but you get my drift. If you a blow pop bomber, you still a bomber. You should take all acts of terror serious, even if they come with a Twizzler. Now, the DA on the case, Kevin Hayden, released a statement that I totally understand. It makes complete sense to me. And that statement is, it's difficult to fathom how in this day and age anyone would consider it a prank to hand a note to a perfect stranger in the middle of a major city indicating they were holding a bomb. As this case indicates, such a reckless action causes fear and comes with consequences. End quote. And that is the part of the equation people don't ever factor in, okay? Especially kids. They factor in all the viralness of a situation. That's their main motivation. But they never factor in, is what I'm doing legal? Could what I'm doing get me arrested? Kids, you always have to factor in the cost of the crime you're committing. You always have to factor in the cost of whatever it is you're doing. Can you afford to go to jail? Can you afford a lawyer? Can you afford bail? Because those followers you try to impress on social media, they're not going to bail you out. And furthermore, what's funny about the prank to the people who be walking up on folks in the store and they be throwing stuff on them and asking silly questions. Nothing brings me more joy than when the person they playing with swings on them. Because y'all don't even be funny. Now this 19 year old kid has a charge of bomb hijack threat which in Boston can get you no less than three years. No more than 20 years. And it wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney who could speak to his arrest, AKA he probably can't afford one. Please give Lucas Limbeck the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones. You are the donkey of the donkey day. You are the donkey of the day.

[Kevin Smith]

All right.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

You got to think these things all the way through, man. Like, you know, I, I, I hate those videos when I see people Running up on folks in the store and just bothering the random shoppers. Throwing stuff in the air and clapping and yelling and scream. I cannot stand that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, it's one where there's this kid. I just seen this. He put a bucket. This old man was shopping, he looked like Steve Harvey too. And he put a bucket over his head and he turned.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

I've seen that one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, he's saying it. Yeah, that guy just looked like, yo, what is going on? You know what I mean? They gonna do that to the wrong somebody's. It's crazy. Somebody. People lose their life over things like that.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

That's what I'm saying. That old man pull out a little 22 and get the blast. And is he wrong, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, he's not. No, he's not wrong. Because it's like he don't bite. Everything ain't funny. And these older people are not on social media looking at the latest tre friends and stuff like that. It is. It's serious. It's not. It's not funny all the time.

[Harley Quinn Smith]

Leave people alone. Yeah, all right. Well, thank you for that. Donkey. Today, Charlamagne Donkey of the day is sponsored by renowned personal injury attorney Michael the Bull Laminsoft. Don't be a donkey when you need a fighter on your side. If you're ever injured, go to Michael the Bull dot com. That's Michael the Bull dot com. And when you mess with the bull, you get the horns.
