Just say it - in which racial culture is it acceptable for grown men to not parent their children (or sometimes don't even know their children) and have multiple kids with multiple women? This is a major problem in black culture and it's not racism to point this fact out. I'm not saying men of all races don't do this but it's especially prevalent in the black community. No government program or handout or school program is going to fix this unless the black men (not all black men) who do this take personal responsibility and raise their children properly.

Two days ago, waiting at a light in LA, teens got out of school, walking, a pack of them started flipping off drivers waiting at the light, standing in front of their car and "flinch threatening" like they were gonna throw a punch (which make some of us waiting laugh, I mean... what, are you gonna punch the car?). They waited for the light to turn green, slowly turned, slowly walked on, blocking us for several seconds. No one honked, no one got out. Why? We'd be on video getting jumped by eight teens. I don't care how tough you are, if eight teens get the jump on you, you could be UFC and you're still probably gonna get hospitalized. That's what each one of us were thinking. These kids, who didn't know us, were MAD at us. No idea why. They had zero fear, they knew they were untouchable. We're "not allowed" to correct kids' behavior now.

I'm also fed up with seeing parents sticking phones/tablets in the hands of little ones to shut them up, so they can carry on scrolling through their own phones. Parents need to start giving their kids more personal attention, and restricting technology access.

Using computers doesn't "destroy nueral pathways" that is bogus. The only ways you destroy nueral pathways is with drugs or hitting your head. lol... Everything else you wrote is ok. a "nueral pathway" is the idea that when you learn to do something it creates a "pathway" in your brain. This is not a specific scientific thing. We don't actually know how brains work fully, at all... They believe "pathways" are involved in memory and in developing skill, meaning when you do something like drive your car, a specific chain of nuerons in the brain become more active and they are assumed to be basicaly nuerons dedicated to driving a car. The pathway strengthens as you get better at driving. The act of driving requires less effort from you mentally and physically, the more you do it and spend more time doing it. The thing is that they can't really prove this is happening or isolate a "pathway" in the brain. It's just an idea that makes sense, until you start trying to say crazy stuff with it.

Their diligence affirms our department’s commitment to accountability and the principle that no one - including a police officer - is above the law.” San Francisco Police Chief William Scott’s criticism against “lenient” prosecutors took another turn on Wednesday. "We want to make sure people feel safe, we want to make sure people are comfortable with reporting. We are aggressively in the process of doing recruitment with the police department. We are doing everything we can as the department has a number of people who are absent because of COVID to fill those officers with overtime so that we can make sure these communities are protected as we promised." "In fact, one perpetrator investigated and arrested by our Taraval Neighborhood Team was charged with 31 hate crime enhancements alone - more than half of last year's cases. Hate crimes represent one of SFPD's highest clearance rates for any crime category, and we hope that sends a forceful message to would-be hate criminals considering any kind of bias-motivated ATTACK in our City - San Francisco will hold you accountable." Scott noted the department has expanded the number of languages that can be used by people to contact the department and urged citizens to report any suspicious activity to police, even if it involves a non-emergency issue that does not amount to a crime. "The reason being, it may help a future case if the individual who's committing those types of acts later commits a hate crime," said Scott. "That may help the case. So we still need you to call." Scott urged those attending gatherings, shopping, on lunch breaks, in the city to always be aware of their surroundings and of strangers asking for money or distracting in groups to SHOPLIFT and of those who are looking to take advantage of people who may be carrying gifts, shopping bags, Target Drive Up bags, grocery pick up bags, or cash.

The average annual salary there is $51,000 and median household income is just over $70k... that's almost enough to cover the rent. Everyone here wants discipline and law and order... but teachers and cops in SF only make $70k-$120k. Even since 1991 real estate prices have gone up five times.

Actually, there were more people in poverty back then and less crime. And you can thank liberal policies, high taxes , lobbyists and environmental groups for the high cost of housing. Looks like that man worked hard his whole life for the things he has. Kids don’t know the value of hard work, saving and perseverance. They feel entitled and want everything handed to them. Just like you have your own opinion, he’s allowed to have his and he’s not responsible for other people’s children. He’s probably doing more for them by teaching them respect than you’ll ever do

@@savsmiles3042 This isn't a liberal vs conservative thing. Productivity and prices have gone up and wages have remained stagnant for *half a century* now, no matter who's in the WH and no matter who's running Congress. It would be so much simpler if only one political party was responsible. But yeah, lobbies are a cancer and we shouldn't accept our representatives pimping each other out to corporations.

weird how society fell apart right after facebook was invented. it's almost like social media is bad for you or something. I can't wait until we look back at social media like smoking cigarettes.

Which means PARENTS NEED TO BE CHARGED!!!! You can have a 3 strike systems for kids, on the third incident, especially if it's violent.....put the children in detention and the parents in prison. When the parent gets out, I bet ALL their free time goes into parenting. If we start doing that bad parenting will not be as bad. 🤣😂🤣😂

@@Angel-vk3no everyone makes one mistake and everyone should be able to be stupid/hardheaded.....the 3rd time shows the parents aren't doing their jobs and should be mailed for that. If the kids is that bad, they should STAY at juevee until 18. After that ALL incidents should be considered even juevee and build bigger nails, we're gonna need it

[@dryheat3633]

It's because they're not the same kids we've been replaced

Media is completely clueless. Only thing that works is changing a persons heart. And only GOD can change a heart, are there other society issues yes. How about violent video games, lgbt, porn, single parent homes, etc… the only PERMANENT solution is The LORD. Once a nation turns their back on the LORD. Matter of time before that nations falls.

I remember daily fights at Francisco. Basically if you want a fight you just have to do a little eye contact just like in "Like a Dragon."

Elections have consequences and Democrats are weak on crime so enjoy what you voted for SF.
