[b]I don't understand why this happens and no one does anything to target the neighborhoods where the youths are coming from.[/b]

http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/bicyclist-attacked-on-dc-trail-by-up-to-15-youths-police-say/2013/06/12/2e9a9d80-d366-11e2-b05f-3ea3f0e7bb5a_story.html?hpid=z3[/quote]

We could raise taxes and provide free pre-schooling and better education in those neighborhoods. [/quote]

Really? By target I would have a very different idea: how about putting all these criminals in jail for a looong time so they (and others) can learn a lesson and make the streets safer? Also, let's stop calling them youths as a form to minimize their culpability and blame it on the "system, the oppresion, their lack of opportunities " or whatever other BS.

Also, I found it really sad that the poor guy kept trying to look for a reason for his attack - courtesy of the liberal guilt? Look, there's no reason other than they are thugs. The way it should be is that you could certainly ride your expensive bike, with your $200 shoes, or latest iphone or whatever and EXPECT not to be robbed, attacked or targeted. These are cowards. Why can't the wapo provide a description of them so the population can help identify them? Oh, okaay, I know the answer to that...[/quote]

The threat of jail time is usually not a deterrent for those who commit crimes.

And I'm guessing they are not being identified because they are minors. Stop playing the race card, asshole. [/quote]

Not [b]threat [/b]of jail time, actual jail time. and I didn't say [b]identify [/b]them, but DESCRIBE them so their asses can be in jail asap, ASSHOLE. [/quote]
