I was there visiting back in the late 80s and remember it being a blue collar place. I’d say Upper Darby and Darby compete with Norristown as the worst towns in MontCo these days.

I used to live in Delco and it has turned into a complete sh*thole and a typical suburban ghetto of black and white trash. It happens quite simply when the original demographic (Irish,Italian and other European) and the predominate church (Catholic)leave and is replaced by those who have to escape/immigrate from sh*thole Philadelphia but just turn their new colony into a sh*thole. The other assumption is quite easy that Democrats run the sh*tholes.

I have been to Upper Darby. I took my daughters and a friend to see a K-Pop group playing at a theater there. Glad we got out of there alive.

Must have been the Tower Theater, where I saw David Bowie on the Ziggy Stardust tour in what -- '72? And Springsteen before he became a hater. He had amps the size of sportscars. That was the last concert I went to without earplugs.

I sympathize about what you experienced exiting out of there, presumably at night. Sad what it has now become around there. Did they have any kind of secured parking?

The article says “students.”

Not “teens.”

Not “youths.”

So it has to be either White Nationalists or Amish. What else could it possibly be? Scholars, perhaps?

He says the new policy after school here will be if kids don’t go home and fail to listen to officers, it will be, “Lock them up...Chitwood's tough enough to do it too.........

K-Pop = Korean Pop groups.

Guessing we don’t need to see a video to know.

If my kid was jumping on tables, that would be the last time he did it. Hopefully, he’d know ahead of time his life wouldn’t be worth living when mom and dad found out so he wouldn’t.

We made them what they have turned out to be. Back when I was young we[and everyone else] had chickens. During the day, they roamed far and wide. But in the evening, the ones the hawks did not get always made it back to roost.

Which is it? As or what one sows, one also reaps, or the chickens always come home to roost.

Back when I was a child, children were taught, with mama's switch and daddy's belt when necessary to be courteous to and respect their elders. They grew up to be good children and better men and women. And then came the Pepsi generation.

Michael Brown was a student, was he not.

There is also “J-pop” (J for Japanese), a similar genre although I think the Japanese version has more of an abundance of female “helium” vocals.

The convenience store close to my Jr. High school had a policy of only letting in 3 students at a time in the 1/2 hour before and after school.
