But so many kids out there today have been indoctrinated to believe they're great just for existing. Too many don't seem to understand you have to actually be able to provide some kind of value in order to be valued in return.

Also there's that one study some years back, which concluded most people involved in street-level criminal activity in the long run would be better off taking a minimum wage fast-food job. But nobody is willing to do what they don't wanna do if it doesn't provide immediate gratification (which of course has been severely exacerbated by social media/phone addiction).

This makes me sad. We used to live in Lakeview before moving to the suburbs. I wouldn't even go down there now.

They are the definition of Menaces to Society. They are single-handedly causing people to leave this city. This one group has completely and single-handedly ruined this city for everyone else. No other groups behave like this. And police are not allowed to do anything about it. No matter how many incidents like this occur, Woke people like Johnson still keep getting elected.

The least they could do is send them to Canada to douse the flames.

If you've lived here long enough, unfortunately, you are numb to the reality at this point. It is a foregone conclusion that it will be another embarrassingly BAD weekend that will make all the usually frontpage headlines.
