Are you doing that thing again where you try and claim crime isn't a product a poverty despite all studies done on it pretty much confirming that? Because if you are.....

TYRONE GA!
The moment we resign ourselves to the notion a kid deserves to be gunned down over a car break-in is the moment we lose. And I’ve been a victim of it myself. It’s infuriating and I felt violated. But I didn’t want to fukking kill someone over it. We cannot allow for people to exact their own brand of vigilante justice. Especially as black people :dahell:. That never works out well for us. This man needs to be charged.

I agree that I couldn't do it and would just call 12, but everyone ain't me and people get tired of the fukk shyt. Stop gotdamn stealing people's shyt and criming. This is a right to bears arms country and you will get clapped fukking around with the wrong one.
That actually doesn't work.

If your kid steals, and you get punished, your child who gets punished, but doesn't learn, isn't going to go " :ohhh: damn, they punished moms and dad, I gotta do better :mjcry:"

That hasn't worked at any point in history in any scenario on planet earth.

Only way a person can truly change is if they want to. There's no punishment someone can force on someone else that going to make you change.

Only plausible way your scenario would work would be to allow parents to do whatever they want or can to their juvenile children, including beating and or torturing them. You probably wouldn't support parents chaining their own kids in the bedroom with literal chains and keys from 9pm to 7am.

The kid made his own decisions. He didn't ask his parents permission or insight, advice or tips. He dug his own grave, he has to lay in it.
:ehh:

Just saying the parents gotta have some kind of accountability for their shytty parenting and choices too.

@bnew

Also, let's not discount the 99.5% of poor people that aren't criminals

I’m from there.

I’ll just keep it real.

It’s really bad.

The youngins are laying people down like I’ve never seen before, and I’m of age to be there in the murder capitol years that NY rappers talked about with DC.

I can admit I’ve been scared the past few years more than ever before.

I used to wonder if it was an age thing, which explains some of it, but my whole life I’ve seen the worst of the worst, but for the most part you had to be a part of something or super unlucky to get got. Now, it’s different. You just losing your life driving down the street in a normal daylight.

True story - I’ve done and seen things I shouldn’t have have a teen. Never came as close to losing my life as last summer, driving from work 11am Wed and caught in shootout which resulted in me flipping my SUV. Random. Few weeks ago a mother died with same story, she got hit. I didn’t.

So yea. This is bad. I ask myself, is this how it felt in 1991 when blacks people supported the crime bill that we now hate? I don’t want to hurt my own, I love these kids…but what do you do?

I have a photo of myself in a youth jail from 2019, when I used to go talk to and help the youngins there…(they listen to me because I’m still cool and doing what they want to do, despite age gap), and one kid particularly stuck under my wing and asked to stand next to me in photo and we connected the most.

This 16 year old now is dubbed one of the biggest mass murderers in DC and is gone for good. You can google him.

I don’t have answers, but excuse my rant.
went to go see my mechanic in NE few weeks back and we chopped it up. OG Jamaican cat who's been running his shop for 30+ years. breh basically seen it all. cops knocking on his door while drug dealers were hiding on his roof :mjlol:

He said the type of shyt going on today is MUCH worse than rayful days. Back then in the 80s things were crazy, but if you wasn't part of the game in any way, then you were generally left alone.

Now kids are sticking up any and everybody. No rhyme or reason. don't matter if you white, black, indian. arrested. slap on the wrist and they right back on the streets. This shyt is sad and confusing at the same time

@bnew
The tell here is that thing literally admits all the studies done on it tie it back to poverty. So you went and found an outlier report to support yourself while ignoring the majority of studies done. Once again im gonna just go ahead and tap the sign and not waste my time with you, because you love to fukking do this shyt like posting studies from the fukking Cato Institute

That study also comes from fukking China. :russ: It's not even based on data from the US

Are you doing that thing again where you try and claim crime isn't a product a poverty despite all studies done on it pretty much confirming that? Because if you are.....

No it's not cause I was never out at 4am at the age of 13 and my child damn sure ain't going to be out at 4am in the age of 13. I don't have to ask myself a damn thing. But yall keep blaming everyone but the people you need to blame(parents/lack of structure) and blame everyone else for having to deal with it.

I didn't imply it was everyone. i'm not saying poor people are inherent criminals either because white collar crime eclipses all other crimes attributed to poor people.

i'm saying wealthy inequality is a driving force to people committing crimes especially if they don't know how to better themselves legally or don't believe they can survive by legal means. kids are recruited to do these crimes because they're more easily manipulated and targeted because they have a need.

there were a ton of first-time offenders caught up in the defrauding PPP-loans.

Its deeper than wealth inequality breh. I've helped with some violence prevention programs, and a lot of these boys are neglected by their parents.. Parents who actually have MONEY.. With my own ears I've heard parents tell their children that if they could deal with trauma, so can their kids.. Black women are serving their own sons up to criminal activity. Its ugly.. So unless you deal with the mental pain these kids are dealing with, money will not help by itself.

Yeah...there was in a time when the police wouldn't even make a missing persons report for anyone until 24hrs. Can you believe that?

Your kid could not come home from school at 3pm, it could be 5pm and you'd call them and say "he's not home from school, he's 10...somethings wrong." And they'd say "Just wait until 3pm tomorrow if he isn't home then, they we will make a missing persons report. Until then just wait at home, call friends and family, drive around to the places he usually goes to or likes, maybe he's there, we're sure he'll turn up. If he doesn't give us a call, ok?"



Why do we get Amber alerts on our phones then?

Nobody is going to take time to verify your age and get your background at 4 in the morning if they see you breaking into their car. Cats are also acting like teenagers can't pack guns as well. You see some shadowy figure who you don't know whether they are armed or not going into your car at 4 in the morning when it's still dark outside, what are you going to do? Wait until they potentially come into your house as well? Let them take off with your car?

If this was broad daylight and they had time to identify who was going into the car, then maybe it would be more on the homeowner, but even then, if you go into people's property, you risk getting seriously hurt.

This is what happens when the police presence is low in a neighborhood and they are unresponsive. People are going to take things in their own hands and they aren't going to just let you walk away with their stuff.

Yeah, I don't know what their plan was. Speeding down the road with half a Nap hanging out the car fighting you is not the move. Smh at him getting folded soggy naan on the hard concrete. Came to the U.S. for a better life and gets killed dropping off food for Uber Eats by some fukking clowns.
:pachaha: nikka you didn’t have to say that lol

The prosecutor is expected to offer plea bargains to 13-year-old and 15-year-old girls who are accused in a fatal carjacking of an Uber Eats driver in Washington D.C.
In juvenile court in D.C., if the girls are found responsible, that court’s equivalent of guilty, they will be freed upon turning 21. However, some juvenile court respondents, that court’s equivalent of a defendant, can be released sooner if deemed rehabilitated.


Left the man folded up like a pretzel on the side of the road and first thing out her mouth is "WHERE'S MY PHONE, MY PHONE WAS IN THERE!!!"

Alot of these pre adult criminals have no value on human life could care less if they kill you doing the commission of their goofy crimes so why should the average citizen not show the same behavior back. You think ppl like being victimized to the point a teenager can do whatever they want to your and your possessions that you worked hard to lawfully gain and get a slap on the wrist for it?

Not saying the person who did this is right but in the absence of a competent govt people tend to take the law into their own hands:francis: tough break

You know what? I have been in Raleigh for the past 14 years, and it gets boring as shyt. Then I think back to living in NY, and I’d rather be bored. This shyt is crazy out here. They need to make it a law for these parents to be charged when their kid does something. Tired of this shyt. I bet them little girls can’t even wash their p*ssy right and they’re stealing cars. Tf! I wanna see what the momma and daddy got to say as to why this kid is out stealing cars at 4 am at 13. I have no comment on the killing.
