I'm not excusing the behavior; someone asked for justification, I'm providing possible justifications, whether you or I agree with them or not, they're quite plausible.

More likely, the manager has treated black kids poorly in some way. Maybe it was something trivial, like treating them like they were criminals, so they decided to actually act like criminals. I'm telling you now, the large number of kids involved suggests payback and a strategy to this. But in any case, blaming it on Obama strikes me as short sighted and quite frankly, a bit racist. If some white folks robbed a bank under Bush, nobody would ever say "uh oh, Bush caused this!!".

It's a sad state of affairs when people are jumping to conclusions by comparing the color of our President's skin to those of people committing crimes.

Answer is no.

If you cannot see the aggressive behavior of "some" people growing then you need to take off your blinders.

I did not blame him personally, I do blame him for sending out the wrong message causing the aggressive behavior of some.

Hate, there you go again using that word. Stop using your hate excuses, they do not work.

The truth hurts doesn't it?
This could be the silliest argument in the history of c-d. You don't blame him personally. OK? But you blame his message (which didn't come from him personally).

LQTM. I'll bite What is this "wrong message" that persuaded 60 school kids to raid a convenience store?

Please...tell me the (your) truth....

Yes its mass shoplifting and its used to confuse and overwhelm the employees. Its always as a second video by another poster shows a bunch of teens who want a bunch a junk food or munchies.Its wrong and is a crime but its been going on for ages now. This is not some Obama plot and its much better than someone strong-arming a grocery store with a weapon.

Not true, anything ALL politicians do has a huge effect upon those under 18 because its those under 18 that are being asked to pay for our current day spending. Not explaining the actions, just correcting your error.

And if one of these individuals had a gun and shot an employee, all 50-60 participants in the "armed" robbery would go to jail for armed robbery and murder.

All actions have consequences and I find your claim that "this is much better" almost pathetic.

That's an insult to the animal kingdom. Watch the video. It's the SAME species that is seen regularly on network TV committing the majority of violent crimes in this country.

Desperate times, desperate measures.

Obamas irresponsible loose talk on the campaign trail with comments like "were gonna spread some of that wealth around" doesn't help matters and is seemingly having the effect of empowering those with a criminal mindset.

The law should be hard on both shoplifters like these and some of the rich, powerful people who have helped destroy much of our wealth while getting rich themselves. One is low-level plundering, the other is sophisticated with politicians bought-and-paid for.

I don't think it's Obama personally, that's stupid.

However, Liberals often support criminal activity as being good and justified, so it comes back to ****ty ideas and ****ty morals.
