I hope you are talking about the victim of the crime and not the criminal doing the stealing. Hard to tell from your post.

Ah... then it is just fine for them to steal belongings from someone else at gunpoint.
Good to know.

Why didn’t that white boy fight back at the four season hotel- he looked strong?!? Maybe he’s got something to lose. And the other boy does not.

Equity solves this.

And, it is attitudes and mindset like this that will cause a continued increase in crime.
Excuse away the crimes committed by these people..... that ought to solve the problem.

Those boys in hoodies are a symptom. The cause is lack of equity. Same as the border situation. When you cannot farm because the climate is changing you go to work that can sustain you.

Ok people here is the problem…..profoundly unintelligent people don’t realize that they are imbeciles and shouldn’t be sharing their thoughts on a public forum.

Terrifying for both. Both are victims of a system that doesn’t work.

If it is so terrifying for the robber - here's a thought..... maybe he/she shouldn't do it!!!
And, it is not a failure of the "system." it is a failure of the parents, the thieves, and a criminal justice system that gives nothing more than a slap on the wrist to repeat offenders.

Is threatening someone and stealing their stuff truly the only option they have? I doubt it.

I'm as liberal as they come and I will say emphatically,
POVERTY IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR VIOLENCE AND CRIME.

NP to this thread.

The Soros foundation poured millions upon millions into the DA election of an extreme “social justice” DA, who then FIRED more than 30 career Philadelphia prosecutors (most of them were democrats).

These facts are well documented.

Many predicted the radical new, lenient on crime policies would result in more crime.

To no ones’ surprise, crime is skyrocketing.

You should get a law degree and run for DA in some of these nutty progressive cities.
There are several to choose from.

Crime is skyrocketing everywhere, even in Republican-run cities in red states. What are your thoughts on that?

Other contributing factors (in addition to others cited in this thread) are the lack of structured activities for youth due to Covid and distrust of police in the wake of the George Floyd incident and its aftermath.

This podcast episode offers a more nuanced insight into the gun violence problem in Philly. It's worth a listen.

There is a lack of fathers in the home and lack of traditional discipline from fathers. Kids are not taught right from wrong. Kids are not taught moral values.

Driving factors nationally include:

- the demoralization of police. I am from Baltimore. Police - a mixed race group of 6 officers - were prosecuted by their own city/mayor. All 6 were exonerated, and they successfully sued Baltimore city. Meanwhile the mayor stated she was giving BLM rioters “space to destroy”, and the rioters demanded “hands-off policing” (apparently with the mayors backing. Why would any Baltimore police officer go out of their way to arrest criminals after that?? Baltimore bungled look it so bad that the Republican governor has had to send Maryland’s state police in to help clean up the mess BLM started.

The demoralization of police has had an effect nation-wide, even in red cities.

But other factors include the “real” economy damaged by Covid. The Dow might be in the green, but people at the lowest levels lost jobs, and many of those are not comming g back.

Gangs are another huge factor. In 2008, the DOJ estimated 80% of crime is linked to organized gangs. Gangs have gotten worse under covid. And fueling gangs is:

Illegal immigration over our southern border. Biden seems to encourage it (probably for future votes).

Finally, Chinese fentanyl. It’s pouring into the US.

But I know you are a dem. So I will create an S/O thread about 2 dem leaders who have the answers to our crime problems (but do they have the courage to save lives?). Standby.
