How many ISOLATED incidents will it take to wake you up ?

The only reason I posted this was because of the sheer size of this incident and the mayhem involved with the mall going on lock down.

I think crime exists and will continue happen, and I don't think anyone needs to wake up about it just because it was blacks committing the crime.

You got a white down in Florida about to get gassed for hogtieing a black and killing him. Did that wake you up?

Crime happens, we can review it and try to understand why, but its always going to be around, regardless of race.

Jail time. Stop slapping them with probation or community service even if they are minors. Send a clear message that gang-like violence is not tolerated even if their mothers stand in court crying what a good boy they are.

thats what i just argued with happy texan.

whites/blacks/asians/hispanics will keep committing crime. how does one wake up to crime in general?

he will say well its young blacks and these flash mobs across the country that should wake you up.

i could counter and say what about all these white pedos coming out across the country at an alarming rate, that aint waking you up?

we know crime happens, i dont get what waking up means.

That's absurd! The media makes this mess, they need to fix it. Smoking used to be cool, but the media doesn't show it as "cool" anymore.

We need to show that this lifestyle is not cool. At all. this clearly isn't a "black" thing either.

Hip hop/rap is great, imo, as music.
Hip hop/rap as a lifestyle is destructive

Bad news spreads faster than good news. Does the headline really matter, when a picture paints a thousand words? At this point in the electronic age, it's silly to blame the main stream media, because anyone with a smart phone can record an event, throw it up on YouTube, and have the video go viral.

One mere Tweet can collectively spring thugs into action. The World Wide Web is a powerful medium.

Yep it does, and half of them are in poverty.

So what do you suggest the media do? Ignore the knockout games, unruly mobs, fights over Jordans because the participants are overwhelmingly Black?

I think this is the crap most white folks are referring to.

Go to the FBI stats. Blacks only make up 12% of the population and half of the murders. The point isn't that folks commit crimes but to the degree of which these crimes are committed.
