A task force? That should take care of the neighborhood troubles makers.


If anyone wants to have “BREC task force member” on their résumé, send an email.

Dang. Renovated pool closed for the year because they can’t keep the peace.

We need the OT pool board to handle this.

In the 70s, when I was a child my classmates who were black were nothing like this.

Its been a slow decline to the bottom since integration.

The Great Society did this. It’s destroying the white community, too; it just has farther to go.

We are in agreement here...

We (whitey) were a little soft off the starting line, but we're catching up fast.

Here is the issue with the liberal mindset

They believe

These people behave less than ideal because they live in a bad environment. So the solution? Just GIVE the less than ideal behaving people nice things! Then suddenly they will start taking care of them and stop acting out and acting badly! Problem solved!

They don’t want to acknowledge the truth that:

These people live in crappy environments because that is a byproduct and embodiment of their behavior.

Behavior is chicken environment is egg

Not the other way around

And so we throw money and money and money and money (that belongs to me and you mind you) at a problem that will never be fixed.

We need to acknowledge the fact that this problem can’t be fixed and we need to move on.

I think you got that backwards from the point you trying to make.

I think it’s both. They’re born in a crappy environment with no parental support, zero role models, and no idea how to create a better future for themselves. Most probably wouldn’t put in the work anyway, but in their slight defense, they don’t know anyone that worked harder to achieve lasting success because the few that do move out the ghetto immediately. All they see is broken families, disdain for work and education, and that crime pays. Hence, that’s what they do.

Yes yes they shouldn’t have accountability and definitely aren’t exposed to it in school then make their own choices

Everything and everyone else’s fault

To heck with a task force, they need to bring in Delta Force for that area.

Officials announced the decision during a community meeting Monday night. It comes after four juveniles between the ages of eight and 12 jumped over the fence with handguns on July 20. "As a result of that all of our lifeguards bailed and said that we are not going to come back up here again because we are in fear of the safety of our body," BREC Interim Superintendent Janet Simmons said.
