You should be afraid. Open your eyes and see what these out of control black children are doing in Chicago, Philly, etc.

Philly just enacted curfews to try to fight it.

It's happening, you can ignore it if you want. Consequently, who do you think is doing all the looting in England right now?

It aint the amish

LOL. I don't live my life in fear of what might happen or what people might do to. It's called being a man and an adult.

Most of the flash mobs that I've seen consisted of middle class white kids trying to have fun. As a matter of fact I've heard of very few flash mobs that end with the type of result that was seen in Philadelphia.

Probably just a bunch of bored teens looking for some inexpensive entertainment which the city has failed to provide.

I thought it was the responsibility of parents to provide entertainment for their kids? When did that change?

Something people need to consider is the media will tell what they want you to think. Many will easily blame African Americans for any and everything but it's been basically White males who has wrecked the economy and are the major thieves on the street.

It's time to give up all this racial stuff and consider the big picture. It's all about economics..When your looking down on someone there's also someone looking down on you asking how can you live like that.. If you feel you have the need to look down on someone else due to race or whatever then you have have an identity problem of your own. Everyone is born the same way and everyone dies..

Sometimes people don't know what they don't know until someone educates them differently..Yes sometimes the explanation for something is that simple..

It is not a city's responsibility to provide teen entertainment. Scary thinking.

Right! Those flash mobs (the bolded part) aren't the ones people are a afraid of. They are not threatening unless a little dancing a singing scares you.

That's exactly why so many children never rise above the state/economics in which they were born. Look at where this was shot...................I believe it's the projects right?

Sure it is. It's one reason we pay local taxes.
