No one has thought about this: It is mostly women who get these benefits. Unless a man isn't able-bodied, he isn't going to get welfare benefits. You have to basically be mentally ill, or wounded from war to get welfare benefits if male. The rioters themselves are mainly young males, the people who are the least likely to get welfare on their own. Young single women can have babies and get benefits. Young single men get nothing unless mentally ill or having some physical problem that impedes work.

Those males should be working supporting their offspring.

It takes two to tango. How about the women pick better men to procreate with.

He's probably right, but that doesn't mean things shouldn't been adjusted. The problem gets worse as we kick the can down the road.

Which all supports my theory of sterilizing all welfare recipients prior to issuing the first check and sterilizing all sentenced to any significant prison time, say more than 1 year. Poverty will be cut by 99% within a generation. And the average IQ nationwide will rise significantly.

More than likely they might come into your neighborhood and take whatever they want. Be careful what you ask for.

It is interesting to note the riot in your first link started based on an incorrect rumor. The ambulance arrived because the little thief bit the hand of an employee. At least the woman who instigated the entire fiasco was jailed for disorderly conduct.

Hank Johnson is proof that having a brain is not a requirement for breathing.

That's why they all sleep with a dozen different women. The baby mamas are supporting them.
