[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a reason kids feel it's okay to randomly, violently attack strangers at malls, metro stops, etc.  There's a reason.  It's what they are being taught at home, on internet, on TV, in schools.  What are they being taught?  Religion is a joke to be mocked and name called, anger and violence is glorified in some contexts, big one here - external locus of control over their lives, etc. Wake up people.  Our society is becoming like a violent criminal training camp.  This will only get worse until we teach better. [/quote]

Actually it’s due to poverty & lack of treatment for mental health issues.[/quote]

Poverty? For what reason can I walk around safely in many other countries where people are dirt poor compared to our poor, and not be concerned for my safety?[/quote]

Because they have housing, food and healthcare.[/quote]

Are you kidding right now? There are many many countries around the world where social supports are worse than the US and poverty is worse but you don’t have the crime you have in US cities. Crime is about culture not just poverty[/quote]

Where?[/quote]
