No I must disagree. I raised 4 kids, from 1982-2018 in middle to upper middle class areas in three different states and I saw this type of sickening behavior from their peers, not rarely either. Also animal abuse, multiple times and some of the cases were GIRLS. These were kids from verry nice homes. One set of three brothers being raised by their GREAT grandparents in their 70s were routinely hit by the kids, as just one example.

My now-20y/o had a schoolmate in 7th grade (white) who gang raped a girl with some pals. At age 13. He got six months in some juvenile home and his family lived next door to one of my other (older, married) daughters by coincidence, for six years afterwards. His younger sister used to abuse their elderly dog, my daughter called animal control on her many times, nothing was ever done.

I could regale you with many examples of rotten kids in privileged environments, just from my decades of being a housewife.

Then I spent 3 yrs in small town NC. OMFG...white trash are as disgusting as the ghetto blacks I did volunteer outreach work with for 14 years, in Miami.

Again, #whyIhateeveryone

Look, you can take that cop out somewhere else. I don't like being lumped in with criminals who happen to look like me either. You don't get to decide that I need to "toughen up". I'll make that judgement for my situation, not you. If you take issue with someone not wanting to be lumped in with trash that happens to look like them, then that says more about your lack of empathy and crass mindset.

I thought the "in these times of peaceful protest" part gave the sarcasm away but apparently not.
Really need attention? How about therapy. They have much more training than we do.

If that was my grandmother I would take whatever follows. I know one thing. the cops and the guards at the prison would take care of me. Maybe even leave a car unlocked for me to breeze out of and oops, my criminal record just got deleted.

If you hurt the elderly in Florida:

Punishment for Aggravated Assault on an Elderly Person
The crime is classified as a second-degree felony which is punishable up to 15 years with a $10,000 fine. There is a mandatory 3 year prison term. The judge will order that restitution will be paid and the defendant must do 500 hours of community service.

We have evil people in this country who don’t care who they hurt?

Welp, now liberals know why we need cops.

I remember living in an America where we didn't have to make specific laws to keep animals from harming the elderly. Where are we going with all this?
