[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shoot a few. That will end promptly.[/quote] Since the 12 year old was shot by the federal marshal the rate has only increased. Generations of kids/parents who did not receive quality parenting that valued education and pro-social values and here we are. Grandparents may have been born during crack epidemic and had unstable, chaotic childhoods, possibly with prenatal drug exposure. The 12 year old above had an IG at 8 with images of cash and guns. His father is in prison for armed robbery in MD. Mom is MIA. A young grandmother was raising him and sibs. Kid was also rapping in the IG, glorifying thug culture. Immigrants often come valuing hard work and education and becoming part of society. For the poor raised here, sometimes the kids are raised by the streets with a very different set of values in music, movies, idols. If benefits were contingent on kids attending school it might incentivize parents/guardians. Right now there are no consequences for anti-social behavior and tragically, way too many of these kids are ending up shot or killed at young ages, or they kill someone else.[/quote]
