Jesus, how are these kids being raised??  Animals.[/quote]

They aren’t being raised.  They almost all grow up in single parent homes with one parent earning low wages and working strange hours.  [/quote]

There is something really wrong if large of groups behave like this. It's honestly hard for me to understand how kids turn out this way, even neglected ones (the circumstances described above sound more like benign neglect).[/quote]

It's really not difficult to understand. You have kids? You know how they are wrecked if the get crappy sleep, or eat too much junk? Or don't get fresh air? Or bathed? Or sat down and spoken with about important things?

These kids aren't getting any of that. None of it. It's really sad until you remember what chaos and trauma they impose on innocent, law abiding decent citizens.[/quote]

No, I don't buy this. There are plenty of poor kids who don't go around rioting and stomping people in the head.  It's not only that these kids are deprived and traumatized; but also that the city isn't engaged in policing efforts to stop them from ganging up  how they please. The "bad" kids know they have impunity, and they exercise it. [/quote]

Agreed.  If you behave poorly and get away with it over and over, you will continue to behave poorly.  Not rocket science.  Especially when DC leadership chooses to make excuses for their behavior.[/quote]
