I agree - was just planning on saying the same.
Poverty is not the cause - that is an excuse.
Today’s proverty is a result of drugs and the destruction of minds, souls, hearts, lives and finances of those who are willing to pay someone to put poison in their bodies to please pals or those selling said drugs to them. How absolutely astounding that there would be any takers.
They become subhumans wrecking havoc on their children’s lives and now —— flash mobs to steal from the rich.
Welfare rolls are full of druggies expecting the taxpayer to pay for their choice to turn their life over to the drug culture.
And, they play right into the hands of an Obama who wants those in poverty that they can control.
“Other examples of this flash mob...”
One word is missing in these descriptions.
Black.
An AK with a drum magazine would probably be sufficient to disperse most “flash mobs”. The store clerks could also just step outside, toss in a poud or two of Zyklon B crystals and then lock the doors. That would also take care of the rodent problems prevalent at some locations.
And so many people berated Glenn Beck when he predicted this societal meltdown and warned Americans to stock up on everything they can.
Look for these types of mobs to grow in ferocity and frequency of attacks, especially on Election Day. What more lucrative and vulnerable target than scores of Americans lining up to vote?
That's garbage.
In addition, this piece is worthless since it does not mention race.
Step on the gas and turn on the windshield wipers?
Drugs are just one aspect of America’s moral decay. Immorality comes in many forms. Pick your poison. Even things as socially accepted in this day and age as divorce and fornication are wrong. People have every excuse to justify their misbehavior, but it’s still sin and sin always has a price.
The left pushes the diversity and tolerance mantra because many of them live lives of self destruction and slavery to sin. I think they hope to salve their guilt by getting enough people to agree with them. That’s why they hate Christians so much. We dare name evil, and it grieves them.
For some reason, people think they can live however they please without destroying the civil society. Well, a single mom lives as she pleases, and even if the social welfare state is eliminated, the rest of us are forced to deal with her feral young.
That’s not to say all single moms are bad. I’m sure there are some who have the self discipline and motivation to raise their children right. Generally speaking, however, the children of single moms have a much, much greater likelihood of turning out poor, uneducated, and criminal.
We live in a very interconnected world, and no man is an island. What we do, even in the privacy of our own homes, often ends up affecting those around us. That doesn’t mean I favor big government. By no means! No, I favor a return to our Christian roots, because citizens who control themselves don’t need government to rule them.
Flash mob in mall food court? Now THAT kind of flash mob I can appreciate. Thanks!

PUT SOME OF THE BLAME ON THE VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES!!!
I wondered how long it would take before someone tried to blame drugs for the existence of the flash mobs. The flash mobs currently exist for precisely one reason: they are getting away with it. No one is standing up to stop them. Prospective flash mobbers see the success that the thugs are having in beating up innocent people and stealing candy from convenience stores, and so they copy the behavior.
Myself, I have no idea.
Maybe the Supreme Court can legalize flash mobs as part of the penumbra of the Constitution.
All too true. Back in the 19th century, the preferred symbol of decay and ferality was alcohol. Believe it or not, booze was considered the enemy of civilization while narcotics largely got a free pass. The only exception I can think of to the latter was the San Francisco opium dens.
Yes. Alcohol causes a lot of grief. How many drunks have done things they later regretted? More than a few.
I want to make it clear that I’m also a sinner with my own weaknesses. I depend on Christ’s mercy and pray I never see His justice. That’s the difference between believers and unbelievers. I don’t relish my sins. I’m ashamed of them. Unbelievers, on the other hand, not only refuse to admit they do evil, some of them actually relish it. Just look at the participants in gay parades. They proudly celebrate what should be their shame (and I’ll likely be called a hater for merely writing this).
How in the world can a sick person be cured if they refuse to even believe they’re sick in the first place? That’s what’s wrong with the participants in these violent mobs. They’re spiritually sick. It has nothing to do with poverty. Poor people can and do often live moral lives.
You’re right about flash mobs getting away with it, but that’s not the root cause. Children who are raised properly would be much, much less likely to participate in one of these mobs. There will always be exceptions, of course, but they should be relatively rare. No. The root cause is immorality. Far too many parents are failing to instill the necessary values in their children, and it’s generational in many cases.
Ah. Well, that explains it then. This is what liberals refer to as a "root cause". They are just poor, put upon, oppressed unfortunates. It's all okay, then.
Sheesh.
It is a liberal thing. They refer to poverty, lack of education, poor health care, bad childhood experiences, as "root causes".
They think that by simply addressing whatever root cause is the target (by implementing some kind of government action or program) then they can fix the problem.
Nobody ever seems to bring up the abject failure of the greatest attempt in history to address problems this way, "The Great Society". Poverty was just as bad (or worse) in black families before they started wasting trillions of dollars, but the crime rate, illegitimacy rates, or nearly any metric used to measure societal success were all far better before the "Great Society" programs kicked in.
That mindset is a form of liberal utopianism.
Here is another good’un... I teared up a little...
