Groups Of Young Teens Robbing Individuals At Gunpoint

[Badkharma]

How about not spending more on prisons, and eliminating jail time for victimless crimes... cheap and effective.

Okay, I see the point here - but at the same time, what punishment would there be then for victimless crimes? "Probation"? LOL

Ultimately, there IS a victim for every crime, whether it be peddling crack on the sidewalk, getting a DUI, or robbing someone at gunpoint.

That's what happened up here with the Samoans last summer. They were going around the hood attacking people and beating them until one of their targets shot two of them. This summer has been a lot more quiet.

Notice in that story the guy who shot them had just been attacked, not merely threatened. He had blood dripping from his mouth while calling police on his cell phone. He still spent the night in jail.
Now imagine if it was just his word that they were up to no good and he had not been attacked by 3 large youths, merely threatened in a robbery.

It is a fine line between going to jail and dealing with a year+ long court case (even if you beat it) from a jail cell, losing your job, making no money, losing your home, your car, etc while you fight the case and try to pay for an attorney, and going home after defending yourself.

Really? Most of the time the news spins it around to something like: "Teenager gunned down in neighborhood".

Cleveland seems to have turned the corner and it's sweet.

Some of the deceased numbskull's family or "posse" vandalized the place where the REAL victim was staying. The cops AND the NAACP volunteered to guard the place. You know it's the apocalypse when cops AND the NAACP do the right thing.

Yeah, one of these young scumbags will get 230grs of just rewards and then we get to see Mama on TV telling the whole world what a sweet kid he was.

let's see, no mention of racial characteristics or descriptions there. Any bets?

No, I don't think I'll take that bet.

There's been a trend of young Black teens in large urban areas attacking White people in what's been called "swarming" attacks by the media and law enforcement. It's basically a hate crime as a good part of the motivation for the attack is usually racial (part of the motivation's for money and part of it's to increase their standing within their group), but of course it's not being called that since the offenders are Black instead of White.

This video was shown all over the news awhile back and it shows that without a firearm or without maybe being able to run really fast or being able to drive away then you're gonna get the crap kicked out of you at the very least, possibly be seriously injured (the way this guy was) or perhaps you might even be killed.

Here's a story that talks about this "swarming" attack outside the MGM Grand Casino in Las Vegas.

Actual Video of "Swarming" Attack. It shows a man being attacked by a bunch of people acting like Jackals.

So if that's something you don't want to see, then don't click on it.

Right after this happened they attacked and robbed someone else, so it wasn't something he said.

"It's baffling to me as to why these kids are driving around that late at night with guns, thinking it's okay to stick a gun in someone's face and take their stuff," says Sergeant Dave Walker.

Really. Shouldn't these kids be home playing "Grand Theft Auto" or something?

That happened here right after Arthur Buford had that head on with a .40 Gold Dot.

The general community response? Armed robbery's dangerous. You should have controlled your kid. Instead one of his intended victims did what you should have done, only with an automatic pistol. Get over it.

RIGHT ON! You can't spank your kid or you're a 'big meenie head' in the evening news. First time most of these idiots get any discipline is at the hands of LEOs or the muzzle of a gun.

When I was in the Army in the early '80s, I used to see people allowing their kids to run wild, in particular in expensive restaurants. I used to say that because these jackasses couldn't say "no" to their kids now when they were five, some guy behind the counter at a liquor store would have to say "no" to them with a gun when they were fifteen.

Of course I'd already seen that in college in the '70s. We got a whole bunch of freshmen from rich families in Oklahoma and Arkansas during my senior year. Their parents had obviously never told them "no". In fact, one of them having been told not to wrestle in the dining hall AND FALL ON THE TABLE WHERE WE WERE EATING, belligerently replied "I can do whatever I want!" He wasn't too pleased to here back "Yeah, but you can end up dead behind it." A lot of bad stuff happened because of those imbeciles that year. Before it was done, a lot of them had been expelled and they had almost started a [losing] gunfight in my dorm.

Tulsa doesn't have a gang problem, Just ask the Mayor and acting police chief.
This part really gets me -

Police have worked ten cases in the past three weeks, and they've happened all over town.

I don't live in Tulsa but live close by and go to Tulsa regularly. I also keep up with the news and this is the first time I've seen anything on this. Seems the news outlets and police don't want to alarm or warn the public.
