Mob of Teens Attack Family of 3 at Six Flags

However nothing ever gets done about it, which is why black crime in the US is much worse than in European first world countries.
I guess we should give black teen mothers bigger welfare checks. That'll make their children moral.

No, that isn't the answer.

The problem is no one seems interested in the answers, seeing as the right even refuses to see the problems.
Your statement would've mattered, maybe, if you provided possible answers. But you didn't and thus your statement doesn't matter.

Oh, puhhhlease.

Most of the time I speak to people on here they can't get past two or three sentences. There's no point me actually coming out with a whole essay on the issues, the problems, the solutions, until I know the people I'm actually replying to can read.

OK. First, while the problems would seem self-evident, what are the answers?
What would solve the problems plaguing black communities, especially the inner city communities?
The people stepping up and stopping the gangs hanging out, policing themselves, ending drug traffic in their neighborhoods, women refraining from having children with deadbeats who have no intention of being a dad and in general...helping themselves. Can't do it for them because its not anyone elses job. Its THEIR job to clean up their communities. From within.
Agreed. The people in the communities need to recognize that the problems exist and then take personal action to "cure" the problems. It is unfortunate that political powers-that-be find it far more expedient to their ends to foster the helplessness and victim mentality so prevalent in these black communities. In so many ways, they really are still slaves but they are enslaved by their own failure to take control of their own lives and destinies.

The problems aren't self evidence, that's the first problem here. People often see the tip of the iceberg and ignore the rest of it.

There are plenty of questions.

Why does the US have such high crime and especially murder rate compared to other first world countries?

Why does the US have ghettos?

Why does the US have problems with education?

Why does the US have far more problems with poverty than other first world countries? I mean, both Europe and the US have poverty, but in the US it's often worse. That's not to say other first world countries don't have problems, of course they do, but in the US... it's worse.
You answer a question with more questions. I am much more interested in your answers to those questions. While I posed one question, you have submitted several additional queries. Where as I asked "what" your solution so one question might be, you posed several "why" questions. Given that, why do you think your suggested problems exist in this country particularly, and not other first world countries? What solutions would you suggest to solve the problems inherent to your problems?

Well, maybe I do. But that's because the first question is so simplistic, that if you answer that question, you'll be no nearer to understanding the problems at all. But then this suits many people.

You want some solutions.

Solution number one is to implement Proportional Representation in the House and Presidency elections, with the latter having a run off. Potentially the former having a system similar to Germany with a half PR half FPTP system with constituency candidates being elected too.

Why is this my first solution? Because any other solution is a pipe dream with the Democrats and Republicans controlling everything.

Write a book, I won't read it either. I find most people use more words than they need to to explain things.
For example you'd probably write a dissertation of horrible reading that after dissection turns out that all you really said was take from the rich and throw money at the poor so they won't be poor any more. Rich are rich because they make good choices in life, the poor are poor because they don't. At least in this country.

poor people cant manage their own assets and you want to give them more power. their poor decisions will magnify if they gain more power. give the power to the ones who make good decisions and perhaps the poor will benefit too.

require a high school education prior to giving citizenship. Give votes out to shareholders based on equity of ownership in the capital at large, ie business owners and land owners. Get the fuck out of the way of progress.
 
Wow, I was just reading about james andrew riley. By age 13, he had 128 felonies.

This is a more recent mug shot:

James-Andrew-Riley-mugshot-24600188.400x800.jpg


Could you imagine a black kid with 128 felonies? Neither could I.
You are using bad behavior to justify yet more bad behavior. That's what criminals do.
We have a serious problem of blacks packing up like wild dogs and mauling anything in their path. They take over stores and malls. They kill the elderly in wheelchairs. But it's justifiable because two years ago a couple of white boys beat up a homeless guy.

The first question being mine, or yours? If yours, the US doesn't have a higher crime rate than other first world countries. The types of crimes may be different, but crimes are still committed. The distribution of crimes against persons vs. crimes against property may be greater, or lesser, depending on the country. If your contention is that crimes against persons are more prevalent here than in other, similar countries, have you reviewed where, how, who, and why such violent crimes occur. (I do not accept that access to firearms is a significant factor, but that's a different discussion.) How do you explain the recent increase in crimes against persons in equivalent societies?
Theoretically, proportional representation in our governing bodies should already exist. I certainly agree that the current two-party system does little to represent any of the PEOPLE of this country because the politicians are much to busy representing their own interests and catering to the interests to the entities who have bought them. Both Dems and Reps represent the best government that money can buy. They are only interested in blacks, whites, browns, or what-have-you in-so-far as they can get up to vote them into office. Then, all bets are off.
You might not like this, but I'd like to see blacks, the elderly, and other perceived victims stop buying into the fiction that they are somehow incapable of figuring out how to do things for themselves. The whole voting ID thing bugs me. There are whole sectors of the populace who are deemed totally helpless when they must acquire a photo ID, although those IDs are provided free to anyone who applies. They just buy into that fiction that they are too: stupid, incapable, unable, etc, to figure out how to do something so simple.

Well, crime exists in all countries, but in the US it seems to be far more concentrated in certain areas, while other areas are safer than places in Europe. Certainly the US has a murder rate 4 times that of most First World countries. Murder is a crime that matters far more. Now, the argument from some is that it happens in certain places, is mostly gang related and the like. But that doesn't mean it doesn't impact society or show that society has a major problem.

Yes, it would be nice to see people figure out how to do things for themselves. It would also be nice if I could eat cake every day and not get fat. Some things would be nice, but that doesn't change anything, does it?

Promote Charter schools who teach the basics and don't waste time teaching music appreciation or art history or other crap like that.

I have seen blacks attack each other. I have seen a black kid stab an old white man in a wheel chair to death. But that is OK. liberals don't have to live with these son of a bitches. Nope. And those few rich NFL athletes want to pretend they have solidarity to poor black drug dealing mass murdering self hating dinks? I quit watching NFL games. Enough. I will play solitaire or goat simulator.

Nothing changes until each person decides to change it for themselves. You won't slim down eating cake every day, but if you decide you need to slim down and force yourself to only eat cake once a week, you will eventually become slimmer. A big problem with our society is that too many folks expect things to happen immediately. If you stop eating cake every day for a week, you success at losing weight will fail. If you make the choice to eat cake only once a week, forever, you will eventually become a leaner, meaner Frigo. Change is possible, unfortunately way too many Americans are convinced that without some kind of help (government), they will never succeed at changing that which harms them. Instead of ranting and rioting, it would be loads better if BLM would go out into the communities at risk and lead the way by changing lives in a positive, non-destructive manner.

Be nice if these spoiled entertainers would put their money where their mouths are, wouldn't it. As it stands, they want to put our money where their mouths are.
 
However nothing ever gets done about it, which is why black crime in the US is much worse than in European first world countries.
I guess we should give black teen mothers bigger welfare checks. That'll make their children moral.

No, that isn't the answer.

The problem is no one seems interested in the answers, seeing as the right even refuses to see the problems.
This right here is the real problem.

Your ideology has no answers, yet you won't accept any answer not promulgated by your ideology. You sure are quick to denigrate those who have solutions you don't like.
 
There is a time and a place for everything. Perhaps these self same athletes would and should donate time and money to causes instead of showboating like peacocks and pissing off people. And YES, I agree they have freedom of speech. Perhaps given that, they need to be aware of blowback and hubris.
 
I can't quite figure out crowd behaviour. There were 8 "kids." Most kids aren't very well built (the kid in the photo for example). Why didn't the others in the crowd do the right thing and just stand by while these subhumans attacked a man, his wife, and 12 year old son?

I'd like to think I'd step in. Where were the 100 others standing in line watching this?

These sorts of things make me lose faith in humanity.
It's a stretch to consider these animals as part of humanity.

Yes, they have freedom of speech. But just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. These players are just another willing bunch of useful idiots.

Now, the argument from some is that it happens in certain places, is mostly gang related and the like. But that doesn't mean it doesn't impact society or show that society has a major problem.

Yes, it would be nice to see people figure out how to do things for themselves. It would also be nice if I could eat cake every day and not get fat. Some things would be nice, but that doesn't change anything, does it?

Nothing changes until each person decides to change it for themselves. You won't slim down eating cake every day, but if you decide you need to slim down and force yourself to only eat cake once a week, you will eventually become slimmer. A big problem with our society is that too many folks expect things to happen immediately. If you stop eating cake every day for a week, you success at losing weight will fail. If you make the choice to eat cake only once a week, forever, you will eventually become a leaner, meaner Frigo. Change is possible, unfortunately way too many Americans are convinced that without some kind of help (government), they will never succeed at changing that which harms them. Instead of ranting and rioting, it would be loads better if BLM would go out into the communities at risk and lead the way by changing lives in a positive, non-destructive manner.

The problem here is that you're kind of wrong. It's a great theory to have, but the problem is that it doesn't play out in reality. Human beings have many different ways of acting and to function as a society it actually requires more help. That's why the US has ghettos and the like and most other First World countries don't.

Theory only goes so far. When the theory fails, why would still stick to the theory?
