The Free Voluntarist: Ocala Local Artist Jun Jun Arrested: Alleged Shooting Threat In Lyrics

Local Ocala musician, Christopher "Jun Jun" Mccallum, 27, arrested for allegedly threatening to shoot up a school in a social media still-video on Facebook. The video contained music and charged lyrics from his song.

"Jun Jun" faces a $50,000 bond after he was arrested for allegedly posting social media threats about a rival gang from Gainesville on Facebook. These threats contained a line that was highlighted by the authorities, "catch you at a Gator game and shoot the whole campus up". Suggesting that he and others would go to a University of Florida's Gators game to commit a shooting. This was considered a major concern for local authorities due to gang violence in the area. They suspect that a next major event where another rapper, Keyanta "Yungeen Ace" Bullard, will be where a major conflict may be held between these rival gangs, as there has been a conflict before.

Background for Bullard, Yungeen Ace was the sole survivor of a quadruple shooting on Town Center Parkway, in Jacksonville, FL in June 2018.

The specific bar (Viewer Discretion is advised, contains strong language):

"It was some whole-shit but since you want to amp it up

catch you at a Gator game and shoot the whole campus up"

Continues...

"He aint a shooter he don't even know if his gun works
Don't let me catch you at that Yungeen Ace Concert"

The song, with no official name ("Untitled"), was prepared seemingly without many filters, giving the impression that it could have been an improvisation or a quickly prepared track. Others songs of his were of a different quality than the recording seen above. The lyrics in the video suggest a long time conflict between these groups and specific people. It includes a long struggle not just the violence, but the growing of violence between the two gangs and an alleged territory battle. McAllum made a post on social media stating that he was in jail:

"...Gville put the police on me about a song but no worries...God got me..."

Social Media commenters suggested to McCallum to legally protect himself and counter sue. Most are very supportive of him, with a few exceptions. This case is highlighting major free speech concerns such as when the FCC and parents sued and fined Eminem and radios stations for sharing his controversial music that contained descriptive violence and inappropriate lyrics. Another example from when another well-known artist, Snoop Dogg, came under fire for depicting the president being shot by him with a fake gun in a live-action dramatized music video. Some Free speech advocates have come in defense of Jun Jun among other artists citing freedom of speech rights regardless of their history or the personal character of the artist.
