The is really nothing new. I remember it happening in the 90's with "wilding" in NYC and at other times in Los Angeles. What's new is that social media has made it more common along with many cities becoming reluctant to enforce many non-violent, quality of life crimes since BLM protests. Yeah, I know that some of these have become violent but often they're just kids acting up along with some fights but no weapons.

To Asians' credit, they were doing the mask thing long before 2020, and their proactive, precautionary usage is probably the way we all should've been doing it.

I dug in my heels on the COVID retardation dictating masks, however.

Subsidized breeding of low IQ people for the Democratic base.

They are great at making babies, but parenting left those demographics back in the 70's

In high school or maybe his freshman year of college my brother and some of his friends took a section of bleachers and put them in our backyard and maybe they set some toilet paper on fire at the playground? Hard to remember the details all these years later. Nothing burned down or anything. The fire department wasn’t called that I can recall. The police department was ultimately called. It doesn’t take the CIA to spot a section of bleachers in a backyard across the street from the scene of a crime.


Very interesting. Was the lack of attention you received from all of your brother’s male friends back then the trigger for you now seeking out the affections of criminals and vagrants?

No doubt all these hood rats would rather be reading To Kill a Mockingbird than slinging crack

I grew up across the street from a playground (with a gym and fields for sports).

My family is very politically connected in that parish so my brother didn’t get in any real trouble. I think my mom was pretty embarrassed though.

These were white boys who graduated from private school in the early 2000s.


Is this where your white guilt stems from?

Who wants to provide “third space” for a bunch of feral teenagers to come to and fight and break everything?

“9 weapons were found on the 53 kids who were arrested.” Now I’m no mathematician, but if each kid had one weapon (which is likely the case) that’s ~18% of kids with weapons and is certainly different than kids in the 90s.

Wrong … it’s more like a lack of common decency and/or parenting ….
