Kyle Kashuv wasn’t invited to speak at #MarchForOurLives … but rapper Vic Mensa was invited to perform.

Of course, it could be said Mensa has some experience with firearms since he was convicted of a gun crime last year in California.

You can’t make this crap up.

From USA Today:

Mensa, whose real name is Victor Kwesi Mensah, pleaded guilty July 10, 2017, to carrying a concealed firearm and was sentenced to two years probation, according to Los Angeles County court documents.

The rapper was pulled over Feb. 28, 2017, for running a stop sign in Beverly Hills, TMZreported after the arrest. Police found a loaded firearm in the car. Although Mensa had a license to carry in another state, the permit was not valid in California. After his arrest, Mensa was released on $35,000 bail.

Beverly Hills police accused Mensa of stealing from Barney’s department store in 2016. Mensa strongly denied the charges.

Wow, what a role model.
