Don't you have a meeting or something?

Ok; even IF the OP is a storm front person, it still DON'T change the fact that station owner has a HUGE thug problem.

Do YOU, Lucario, have any ideas in stopping those hooligans instead of trying to shoot the messenger??

He also needs to make the station a less attractive place to hang out. Barry Manilow music piped through the Muzac would be a start.
I think that's a very good suggestion.

It just looks to me like a group of bored older kids hanging out -- very high youth unemployment is very bad, and idle mind is the devil's workshop - and if the job situation doesn't change soon for kids like this, there is trouble ahead.

I wonder if there has ever been any time where the futures of so many are in such doubt.

Look at Spain they have around 50% unemployment in their yutes. Lot of that has to do with going all in on the "green" economy which was a complete and utter fail. Too bad our leader didn't take note.

The solution is fairly simple. Just start blasting classical music, bluegrass country, showtunes, inside the store as well as outside. The losers will get tired of the noise and being unable to have conversations and will disperse.

If you ever had direct experience with the police, you might change your opinion.
And if you ever suffered from the repercussions of "thug" justice, you'd be less hasty in your recriminations.

Where in the world is your human decency, you so-called conservatives? Your first instinct, on seeing a news report like this, is to bleat some feeble partisan name calling? Really? This is the democrats fault? It's Obama's fault? It's... black people's collective fault?

Seriously, this is an awful situation. If your first instinct is to turn this poor guy's real life woes into some sort of symbolic diatribe, then you are clearly only here on earth to make things worse.

A bunch of Pharisees and lawyers, the lot of you. A lot more interested in airily allocating blame than fixing a thing.

How about setting up a kickstarter or indiegogo or equivalent, pitching in, and helping get that poor guy some paid security guards for a while? If you're so concerned. Which you aren't. At all.

You're no better than Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell blaming hurricanes and terrorism on the lesbian cabal.

Sorry Detroit is a Black Dem creation. Why would I pay for security for a private business in a community that not only produces this type of foolishness but tolerates it? A better solution is to find these young men's fathers and get them to move. Oops sorry that wont work. The video said some pastor came by that seem to have much affect.

I always see Republicans claiming the Democrats made Detroit what it is. To a point that is somewhat true. However, also to a point many Republican policies and issues have also largely made Detroit what it is.

You probably never really studied or read all about the true nature of what took detroit down. Instead you just blindly blame the other side. Everything is so partisan to most people. "Hey look, that tanker truck exploded!!! Damn Obama!!!".

I would advise to take a deeper look at things. Stop being so ignorant to everything. Look at the white flight that occurred in Detroit in the 50s, look at the major unbalance of pay between races, the separation of whites vs blacks, the fact the Car manufacturers wouldn't allow for public transportation, they lobbied politicians to spend money more roads to sell more of their cars, and they created the whole major divide between suburb and city. A lot of this isn't such a "Democrat" thing. Shipping jobs oversees, and international trade is also not just a "Democrat" thing as well. But we already see how well you analyze things when you claim the 47% is all poor black people on welfare showing that you must really have read all the articles that explained the true nature of the 47% and how many of them are actually republican voters.

But Yes, maybe it is Obama's fault these thugs raid a gas station. You are so insightful.

When was the last time a Republican was elected in Detroit?

And do you think Obama really gives a damn about Detroit even though he won the votes of the people there?

Detroit is what happens when you allow yourself and your votes to be taken for granted. And you get fools for leaders who don't believe in jobs for the American people. Clinton is responsible for a lot of what happened to Detroit, he knew full well what he was doing when he made that NAFTA deal - yet Detroit continues to vote for globalists.

These kids in that picture really don't look like they're trying to be bad -- but they are the victims of Democrat politicans who sold the American people out. Yes - black youth is the most fragile and no one cares that this economy is putting them at more risk and robbing them of their futures. What is there for these kids? Jobs? Not hardly. College? No -- Obama's College Dream Act is for illegals, not for Americans. Without jobs, what future do you see for these kids? They'll continue to vote solidly for that one political party though.
