Hence why gentrification can't come any sooner and remove these hood people.

And this was in public. No shame in her game. I can just imagine how bad it is behind closed doors. Poor girl.

I felt really bad for that little girl being around such a negative environment. The corruption begins at the home and as she grows up, she'll just assume thats normal.

I've seen this too. Hurts me also, sometimes I want to say something but I know these fools would then only turn it on me.

Some of these people never had a chance because no one ever cared for them.

It's just pure hopelessness.

Likeminas,

Difference is you have more to life to look forward to, they don't look at freedom the same. I guess they think of it as time to reconnect with buddies and probably living in those cells aren't much different than home life, not to mention many will be out again soon to continue their mayhem.

No direction, no hope, no life, and no sense of responsibility leading to a perfect brew of criminology.

You have to also feel bad for the mother, because she was raised that way by her mother, who was in turn raised that way by her mother.

You can trace this pathology back to LBJ's "War on Poverty" and "Great Society," when it became much more lucrative (free apartment in new housing project, food stamps, welfare, Head Start), to be a single mother, than if you were married to a man with a low-paying job, when you got nothing but his salary and had to live in an old tenement.

The government became the father. And look at the destruction this model has caused in the inner city. And there's no way of going back to the good old days of an intact family with a mother and father. In a sense, it is a lost art.

I think the sad part about this is that the OP didn't even put the worse things in this thread. There were like what? a handful of murders in the Bronx this past week? It's awful and the-coming-out-of-hibernation spike is truly relevant in NYC.

As far as I have heard,all 5 of the murdered in The Bx this weekend were hood rats killing each other.This is nothing new.It's what comprises 90% of the murders these days.

Just looked up the incident about the Asian guy beaten in the East Village. Unbelievable. I was walking down that street literally 12 hours later (I go through there to get to East River Park where I play soccer).

"Elections have consequences"--oh for God's sake. What a stupid comment.

This is the root cause of many societal ills.
It's a vicious cycle. And there's no foreseeable end to it.

You're right.
5 people have been killed since Thursday.

This is true, but the sad part is that many times, inocent bystanders get shot in the process too.
