Escalating the level of violence against children who are essentially just playing around is only going to get you hurt or killed. They are being violent, so why introduce violence into the equation?


They are not playing, they are assaulting people.


Ummmm, no.

What YOU consider “assault” , and what they would likely consider assault are probably two very different things. I’d imagine your threshold is probably a lot lower than theirs. You probably think common trash-talking or making outlandish, boastful threats is an assault. Their reality is that a REAL assault is something that puts you in a hospital. And less than that is just goofing around. And kids goof around. If those kids really wanted to hurt you, do you really think they wouldn’t be capable of doing more to harm you than making boasts and maybe invading your personal space? If they wanted to hurt you, they’d HURT you. But they don’t. Because they’re just playing.

Toughen up and grow some thicker skin, snowflakes.


Yes, this is definitely a cultural issue and you need to be more sensitive. What you might consider assault is just horseplay in the black community.



This. Stop trying to change other cultures to fit your worldview. If you have a problem with this stuff, it’s YOUR problem. You’re the one who moved to Chocolate City.

You probably want go go banned, too.

Bovine excreta.

If they want to play with horses, they can go to a farm.

Any "culture" that thinks it is permissible to physically harass complete strangers needs changing.

Nobody needs to be "sensitive" to the poor, misguided little feelings of these thugs.

Metro needs to put a lid on this stuff.




“thugs”


We know what that word means to you.

Go away.

In DC it may come down to race, but nationally, it's a class thing. Lower-income people fight more, hit their kids more, are generally more violent. What they don't understand is that they don't get to inflict those behaviors on people outside of their community. It's scary and inappropriate. Just because someone hurts you does not make it ok to turn around and hurt someone else. Period. Making excuses and talking about it as a "Black" thing is insulting to Black people. Aim higher, people.

You must be one of the teens on the metro. No, an assault is any time you touch me. These kids are not playing, they are criminals and they should be arrested. Where are metro police?


No, sorry, you’re quite wrong. An assault is not merely touching you. Perhaps maybe by the most hair-splitting technical definition, but in the real world, no.

No jury in DC is going to convict a kid of assault simply for touching you. No cop is gong to arrest a child just for putting their hands on you. No prosecutor is going file those charges simply because you were scared of kids. It’s not going to happen, snowflake.The only way those kids are going to get charged with anything at all is if you have to carried off the train on a stretcher.

Grow up. Stop being afraid of children. If you’re that terrified of them, give them some money and they’ll leave you alone.


Here is a good example of why teaching has become so very difficult today. Too many kids and teens ("children") are being raised by parents who think that this kind of behavior should be overlooked. Sadly, it's the kids who pay the price by not getting the education they deserve and not acquiring the social skills needed to be productive citizens with a good job and a promising future.


+1. My kids are black, this "black community" thing is bullshit.

The teens and some PPs think they’re “playing”, but the law and civilized society don’t.
The phrase “soft bigotry of low expectations” fits perfectly to the PPs who are excusing this behavior.

Seriously, do you think the weaker and more vulnerable members of you family should have to put up with this crap?

In tort law battery (what you are saying is assault) is unwanted or offensive touching. Assault is the apprehension of it. Criminal versions are similar but a little more

Are you joking? It’s unfortunate that in some communities this is considered goofing around and is condoned. This behavior is criminal (she got slapped). What is the correct response? Condoning such behavior in teens only breeds more violence.

DP here.
Sounds like you are condoning unacceptable behavior. Give them some money? In other words, reward them for acting like little $hits?
And, BTW - an "assault" does not need to end up with a hospital visit.
