[quote=Anonymous]I'm not PP but his/her point went right over your head. They are young people who have grown up at a severe disadvantage systemically. So of course, not all disadvantaged youth turn into shooting criminals, but others, who may have mental health issues or childhood trauma involving murder and abuse by the adults in their lives are not served in our system and lose control. There are upper class DCUM parents in SN forum who sometimes have to put their kid in inpatient or private hospitalization, and are struggling to no end, and that's with unlimited resources. Can't you imagine a disadvantaged minority youth who doesn't have ANY of those resources? They are not trying to gain anything except a tiny bit of respect and that's literally the only way they know how/can.[/quote]
