A pack of animals will scatter when you fire a warning shot into the air.
Let me guess.. EdwardA is a racist for posting this?
Whoever would have posted this would have been called a racist. Then they would have said that White kids do it too but the poster is only singling out Blacks because he hates Blacks.
And that is why I DIDN'T post this. I already knew what the fallout would be.
You can't fix a problem or look for a solution until you admit you have a problem.
Perhaps if over 70% of Black kids actually had Fathers it would help?
While it is true that black Americans have a 70% out-of-wedlock birth rate, it does not equate to 70% of black children being raised without a father. I know women, some professional, who are included in that statistic. But, without exception, the fathers of their children are involved in their lives. Granted, far too many black youth are being raised without a father. However, it is wrong to assume or imply that none of the 70% born out-of-wedlock have loving, supportive dads.
As others have stated, minus constructive activities, kids will often seek thrills. The idle mind. . .
America has a history of gangs. These flash robs are gangs of youth rebelling against something.
Many of these gangs of the past went along racial or ethnic lines.
Here's one example-an Irish immigrant gang in NYC. It has a familiar ring to it and can even be used to describe what's happening today. Forty Thieves (New York gang) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forty Thieves were formed in the early 1820s by Edward Coleman. Initially it was formed to rebel against their low social status but the members soon turned to crime to relieve their frustration. This gang emerged due to prejudice and class distinction. Such social conditions were evident in the Five Points area of New York in the 1820s.

I agree but even an involved father is no substitute for one in the home with day to day contact.
