[Alix217]

Don't steal stuff kids

 

[ISO]

Calling you guys psychopaths and telling you what pieces of shyt you aren't aint a meltdown. It's straight facts

You know this board is insanely fukked up when the person advocating for not shooting kids is the person having a "meltdown". Thank god I wasn't raised however the fukk y'all were.

U living in LaLa land don’t end up like Omar out here

11 years old “missing” and not reported for 2 days smh

I saw survived by mom and 3 siblings; no father

I’m assuming on this tweet from ‘21 but that lil boy been in the streets for a minute

Abuse and neglect of Black boys is a team effort

Man, the NFL sent a message to the Saints about all the break-ins outside the Superdome because they're supposed to host the Super Bowl in a few years. I've never heard of shyt like that before. The situation here is fukking miserable and yeah there's a lot of factors at work but our mayor is sitting with the carjacker's family in a court while the victims are testifying and our progressive DA isn't trying any fukking cases. You rehabilitate the ones that can be saved and ship the rest off to Angola, I'm sick of this shyt.

yall Mayor Latoya be wildin'. Hanging with rappers, beefing over her home being paid for by the city.



Here is that carjacking story.

 

[Dad]

i put all the blame on the adult

he interacted with lil breh. he knew he was a child

he also shot the kid over a car that wasn’t even his!

y’all are trippin if you're taking this man’s side.

He acted as a vigilante and killed a boy that broke no law.

[the bossman]

but you constantly overlook victims of violence in other scenarios

But he'll turn around and say "it's called having some empathy"

 

[FaTaL]

Shot multiple times at 13?! Don't know what the homeowner saw or was thinking, but this is a mess. Can't see how he or she isn't going to get charged for this.

if the get away car is stolen and he was breaking into cars not sure what charges can come of it

It is quite possible that America will NEVER recover from the post covid crime increase.

What people dont understand is that these kids who are committing crime were more than likely going down that road anyway. What covid did was speed up the timeline. Lockdown and quarantine gave these kids nothing but time and opportunity to organize and double down on bad habits.

The brains of humans, especially kids, are like scales. You have to balance out their bad habits with productivity, mental stimulation, and organization. However covid lock down made it so that behaviors like truancy, drug use, theft, insubordination, over stimulation to digital entertainment and a overall lack of authority structures (many of these kids parents were either working still or in fukkery themselves) made it so that fukkery was the norm.

Their little stupid brains now see bullshyt as the only way to get that good ole serotonin hit and thats not even getting into the truth of these kids being explicitly recruited by organized criminals to act as their boots on ground boosters and runners.

Why solutions are hard to enable is due to two reasons IMO:

1. western capitalism, especially late stage capitalism, creates a sense of individual desperation wherein petty crimes are seen as that much more brutal and devastating to individual people.

2. due to #1, people have little sympathy or incentive in tolerating or enacting long term solutions that seek to focus on reprogramming and rehabilitation.it makes sense right? the west is all about individualism. Westerners struggle with understanding the concept of societal systems and second and third order effects of systems that operate outside of our control or comprehension. .

As far as most people are concerned, individual decisions is solely how you got where you are so make the individual decision to do something else. Hell I know better and I still struggle to sympathize with criminals (no matter how old they are) or junkies.

All I can offer as a solution is, fathers, brothers, uncles, cousins, be there for your kids. Try and get out in the middle schools and high schools. Mentor. And be the uniting agent in your families.

Full ride through college. Bought a decent home before the pandemic started. Working on a family now. Im proud of him. And nobody is advocating for teenagers to get killed, but you constantly overlook victims of violence in other scenarios concerning guns just so you can use it as a whooping stick against "poverty".

Also you say "constantly over look the victims". Yes non-violent crime has victims, but if your answer to this is shooting people who steal things then ur part of the problem, and it's not actually solving said problem. It literally hasn't solved the problem for decades.

So all you're really advocating to do is kill kids over theft. That's it, and you're too fukking short sighted to understand that. Most of you are entirely too fukking stupid to get it tho.

 

[Ryze]

Welp. I'm sure his would be victims will be in a better state than had he continued living

I understand what youre saying and all.

BUt one thing Leftists/progressives struggle with is telling people their wrong instead of convincing people. Youve been up in this thread telling people that American sentencing, armed citizens, and harsh penalties dont work on curbing crime. And youre not wrong in saying that.]

So ok then, what does work? What data proves other solutions work? How do we implement it? How long do we expect to see results? etc etc.

Once again, Americans struggle with long term solutions that involve systematic buy in. Simply saying our status quo isnt working isnt enough to convince most people to try something else. You have to sell it.

The post COVID-19 crime increase is the biggest issue facing black America right now and an inexplicable social phenomenon.

Car jacking has been a crime that has inexplicably jumped 200% in many major cities. What has led to car jacking becoming that much more popular?

I was in Philadelphia last year and it was disheartening to see black teens all over Center City at night just ransacking Wawas for the fun of it and that’s a regular thing.

This generation coming up is broken.

 

[Yzak]

Well to be totally fair breh, the main imagery that the world sees of young black males is that of thugs, shooters, drugdealers and gangbangers.

I mean, here's an extremely popular song that plays on mainstream radio. The song is called "super gremlin" , you may have heard it b4:



^^^^^^. This song currently sits at 244 million views, a song about a young black male singing about jacking cars.

The world has literally been conditioned and programmed to view black people (young black boys specifically) as menaces to society.

So yes, it's EXTREMELY easy to convince the average person that a young black boy was up to no good. A black males DEFAULT SETTING to society is that of a reckless and dangerous thug.

It's too complicated for them to understand, but cacs got us producing anti-Black propaganda for the last 30 years

 

[Wildhundreds]

Cool I'm proud of him too.

I don't know where you live but a lot of these teenagers are getting real brazen with their thefts. Where im at they will shoot you if you confront them about stealing something that belongs to you. A lot of them are stealing cars to shoot other teenagers over petty shyt.

Also you say "constantly over look the victims". Yes non-violent crime has victims, but if your answer to this is shooting people who steal things then ur part of the problem, and it's not actually solving said problem. It literally hasn't solved the problem for decades.

So all you're really advocating to do is kill kids over theft. That's it, and you're too fukking short sighted to understand that. Most of you are entirely too fukking stupid to get it tho.

You have absolutely no idea how this situation unfolded dude. You got kids running around here with glock 9s with extended clips and switches. Who will kill you if you approach them for stealing YOUR shyt. I can afford to take a loss if someone stole my car. You can to, so you claim. Can you vouch for this man? We told you a million times over SOME people cannot take that loss. Someone gets their car stolen and a month later they could be on the streets stealing from someone else. If im short sighted you're extremely short sighted because you refuse to consider what EVERYONE is dealing with. This is an extremely unfortunate situation but you are getting extremely emotional about this.
