Baltimore and America needs more of this. We need more people to take up the task of leading youth to be positive members of society.

In Baltimore protests, 300 Men group aims to be 'neutral force'


When you think about the looters they are mostly 15 to 25 year old degenerates raised without strong parental figures and positive influences. Instead they are raised on the street and learn about life from other bad influences like drug dealers, criminals, ex cons, pimps and the police are automatic enemies. Other influences on these young minds are violent video games and movies where the guy with the gun gets the girls and the money.

Little Freddie was arrested 25 times. Is this normal for a inner city young male?

We all saw the mother of that 15 year old kid who was dressed like a member of isis pull him off the street and slap him around sending him home. With a mom like that that one kid might get it and remove himself from the street influence.

The members of the 300 men group all get it, they survived the streets and now want to bring a sense of society to their neighborhoods and that is terrific.
The trouble with these young looters is they don't get it. They are too short sighted to understand that they are tearing up their hood and hurting their own people.

Perhaps these 300 men can share their experience and show them the way to becoming a positive member of society.

There should be a law that says if you are arrested more than 4 times, you are exterminated.

What you saw was a reaction.

Prevention goes a lot further. Sadly not many in these communities volunteer in the schools.

A friend of mine, who is a dentist, was arrested about six times for minor in possession. He was ticketed a bunch of times for it as well.

No, there should not be a law like that.

How about: if you are arrested for a violent offense (using or threatening violence) more than twice, you serve your full term with no possibility of probation or early parole?

I know quite a few people like that.
Not all arrests are for major offenses.
As a matter-of-fact, pretty much ANYONE can be arrested. For instance: Had 2 beers? DUI.

You mean, laws just like the 3 strikes laws that already exist in 26 states including Maryland?

They should be enacted in all states. I am constantly reading about people that are convicted and then released early to get arrested and convicted again; I understand that a large percentage of crime is committed by recividists.

I don't have a problem with giving somebody -- particularly a young person -- a second chance, but it seems obvious that the way to prevent violence is to make people think twice, and if they don't think twice, remove them from the rest of us.

It's a revolving door folks. They wear their number of convictions like a badge.
