Responsible parent/citizen at work. Many more like her needed.

 

Reading the last few posts, your ability to laugh at yourselves is a comfortingly sign of sanity. More of that is needed as well.

 

 

Two vocally liberal coworkers of my wife were horrified and thought the mom should have been arrested for hitting her son. A microcosm of the larger issue that has fostered the urban morass.

If she was truly worthy of 'Mother of the Year' her offspring would not have been participating in a riot

In any case, and with the lack of details, she did the right thing there.

What Ducks said. In retrospect, it seems she was acting more out of personal embarrassment, than motherly love. He didn't seem too impressed, either...

We've squandered trillions of dollars and untold lives proving the validity of the "you can lead a horse to water" witticism. Not even Snake Plisken wants to go into these shitholes anymore. S/F....Ken M

How to tell what sort of neighborhood you're in by the fried chicken restaurants:

 

Chick-fil-a: nice middle class area. micro gun, like a PM9, J frame or a 380

KFC/Browns: working class, small 9mm like a G26

Popeyes/Churchs: lower working class, a real pistol, like a 1911 or HP

El Pollo Loco: barrio, bring a knife too

Harold's, high functional ghetto, full sized gun+ backup gun, body armor good idea

Local place with lighted professionally made sign: low functional ghetto, same as above, body armor strongly recommended, bring a competent friend

Local place with hand lettered sign in a building made of plain cinderblock, where you have to be buzzed in: active warzone, rifle plus handgun, basic combat load and move in no less than fire team strength.

No chicken restaurants: Mad Max wasteland, leather harness and codpiece and whatever hardware you have left or can scavenge, why the hell are you here if there's no chicken?

Funny as hell, E5M.

 

What do you recommend someone in America bring when engaging in downright dangerous activity, like going to the movies, to a mall, or to the office?

 

Like all high society events, it's about making proper introductions.

Knock knock, motherfuckers. S/F....Ken M

Funny, different outcomes expected? Teens raising teens raising teens. No dads in LOS. Immatury plus near poverty plus no education and you're surprised? Hell a portion of kids in much better circumstances turn out as shitheads.

Teens raising teens raising teens. No dads in LOS. Immatury plus near poverty plus no education and you're surprised?

 

And a system that perpetuates this cycle.

 

A quote from Benjamin Franklin:

“I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.”

I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.

My experience is that people who call themselves "The Intellectuals" understand theories, but they do not understand things. I have long been convinced that, if these men could have gone into the South and taken up and become interested in some practical work which would have brought them in touch with people and things, the whole world would have looked very different to them. Bad as conditions might have seemed at first, when they saw that actual progress was being made, they would have taken a more hopeful view of the situation.

The slavery of dependency. The 'Progressives' are actually promoting the ugly, evil stereotype that minorities are incapable of caring for themselves or managing their own lives, but need 'help' from their 'betters'.

Do any of you think this is unintentional? These bustouts are a slave army, of voters and crisis generators. S/F....Ken M

How horribly racist that is. "You can't make it without help".

Doubly so when you consider the source of such comments......(Democrats/Progressives)

I can´t stop thinking, black young men dying as a result of encounters with the police, and I'm not even qualifying the nature of said encounters, that kinda thing has to be old, it has to be an established feature of ghetto life. Is just now that it becomes issue Number 1, the beat that just gotta be drummed.

The number of people killed by cops hasn't changed much if at all (although no one actually tracks exact numbers). But the number of incidents has obviously skyrocketed with modern technology.

How many incidents of this type -racial riots- took place during the GWB and Clinton years? The LA Riots?

The only "progress" in Progressivism is the unrelenting progress towards finding a way to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Come to America, meet the locals, and see the sights.

I like that. Thanks for posting.
