I vote that Boosie use his community service hours doing some construction work to benefit the LSU community that actively fought to #freeboosie. Repaving the roads near the north gates of campus, or repairing the Studio Arts Building. In fact, why don’t we just make him University President, I’m pretty sure he’d get that campus repair list taken care of before flying off to every corner of the country. Is Boosie even allowed to leave the state while on probation?

Maybe Boosie will do us all the service of buying up his own records, then destroying them.

There is a vast number of retirement homes in the Baton Rouge area. Contrary to popular belief, the elderly aren’t solely stimulated by Bingo nights, ballroom dancing classes and canasta tournaments. So, I believe Boosie should kill two birds with one stone by doing his community service hours — as well as kickstarting his musical career — by scheduling the first-ever retirement home tour. The elderly will be entertained, and let’s face it, with all the troubled performing artists, this will become the next hot celebrity trend.

Boosie’s 14-year-old daughter, Iviona Hatch, has a blossoming career as a rap artist, and as such, his community service should involve him going to middle schools to guide students interested in the music industry and help them create marketable products. It would serve students better than sitting through review sessions for iLEAP tests and get them started on a career path early. Gov. Bobby Jindal seems keen on raising Louisiana’s profile, and there’s no better way to do that than by producing young rap artists fighting for social justice. Imagine how viral that could be.

Lil Boosie would become Inspector Boosie and be a world renowned detective — à la Sherlock Holmes. Doing all of his work for free, Boosie solves crimes internationally. Instead of reading suspects their rights, he raps them. Soon enough, there will be an entire franchise dedicated to Boosie’s crime-solving abilities: from action figures to Law & Order: Lil Boosie Unit. Our world will be enveloped by Boosie, just as it was meant to be.

I suggest that Lil Boosie spend his community service pushing for the legalization of marijuana. It is only fitting that a person arrested for marijuana should push for legalization, bringing back the ’60s. Today, a majority of Louisianians support legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes and it could be a great theme for his comeback album. I think the last thing Jindal and the Louisiana Legislature want is Lil Boosie walking up to the Capitol with his fans and demanding marijuana legalization.

Personally, I’m rather ambivalent about what a convict chooses to do with his community service hours. If the state of Louisiana could go five minutes without glorifying another felon — looking at you, Edwin Edwards — that would be great. Besides, he’s more likely to spend 100 hours hot boxing than actually doing something productive.

What Boosie does with his service hours is none of my concern. I refuse to divert any more attention to the man and his actions. As of now, I am actively blocking people on my personal social media feeds that use the word “Boosie” and “free” in any post.

I am a firm believer that Boosie should fulfill his community service by making guest appearances at middle school dances throughout the state. It could be beneficial to his career by targeting a younger audience and a little culture wouldn’t hurt the youngins. Maybe their youthful spunk and innocence will rub off on Boosie and generate a whole new genre of middle school-appropriate freestyling. I would pay to see that.
