maddmaxx ★ Posted June 30, 2021 Share #1 Posted June 30, 2021 Last night he finally killed someone. Accused of stealing a man's wallet at a convenience gas station he ran at high speed from those chasing him, finally crashing through a fence and killing an old man. By the way, it was a hit and run with the police finding him today in his home hiding in a closet. 17 prior fucking arrests. I don't know about where you live but at this time CT has a problem with teens, stolen cars and revolving courts. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About ten years ago we had an Amish guy steal some archery equipment from some other Amish while they were in church. They figured out who did it by who wasn’t in church. Crime is running rampant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffJim Posted June 30, 2021 Share #4 Posted June 30, 2021 For 30 years violent crime rates had been falling in the US. Those gains are being reversed. My suspicion is that the crime wave will get a lot worse. We need to fix the crime culture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few people from my experience get straightened out. They were straight going in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share #14 Posted July 1, 2021 It's more than just the kids. Hit and run has become much more common. Not just kids from street gangs stealing cars, but soccer moms on cell phones, state department officials wives and more. Something has gone wrong. There is so little respect for others. We're going tribal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted July 1, 2021 Share #16 Posted July 1, 2021 Over the course of 17 prior arrests, he'd learned there were no serious consequences to his actions. So why quit, why alter his behavior? And another thing to bear in mind is that 17 arrests means there's likely at least again as many times where he's committed a crime he could have been arrested for, but wasn't. Except now, possibly he'll be tried as an adult and that's a whole new set a rules. Unfortunately for him if that's the case, there's no 'do over' to get yet another chance after he realized he's now swimming with the big fish and he's no longer in the juvenile catch and release kiddie pool.

I don't know about where you live but at this time CT has a problem with teens, stolen cars and revolving courts. It's true all over, from what my friends and relatives in other states say. I personally think it hurts society that the attitude of that those under 18 are held to virtually no standards of responsibility, then suddenly they have complete responsibility at 18 - like the 18 year-old guy in Georgia who got several years in jail for having sex with a 17 year-old "minor" girl. A poll in England asked adult men, "At what age should a boy begin to act like a man." The avg. response was 12! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf Posted September 2, 2021 Share #22 Posted September 2, 2021 Let us all remember, that while I give no absolution here --that few boys can act like men without true men to mentor them. Be that a father, a grandfather, a big brother, or a figure raised with the values to teach that manhood, without that experience, the experience of a community that carries forth the very standards needed to bring someone to that manhood, Styron's "Lord Of The Flies" is not as unrealistic a result as we would like to think it is. Without a culture that teaches principles, values, kindness, empathy, and selflessness -we will be culturally bereft of those values themselves. We will see a neighborhood that serves itself. People who look out for number one, even at the expense of others. People whose sense of right and wrong are twisted by "What's right for me, right now in the moment, because nobody else is going to look out for me but me." No, this isn't forgiving something horrible. It's a remembrance of what we need to be to others as we live out our lives going forward. To be the someone who looked after someone who thought nobody would. To be the someone they look up to so that when we exhibit principled behavior, we become the role model for that behavior. To be our neighbors to those in need of one, with no thought of quid pro quo. And through doing it as a community, building a nation of community serving each other, and in so doing, change the world one community at a time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
