If they are old enough to brutally beat a bus driver after vandalizing his car, they are old enough to be on the receiving end of a beat down. That would be a service to the community and might inspire them to reconsider their wilding activities.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

“Teens.”

How descriptive.

[hanamizu]

I don’t disagree. But the media will portray any such deserved beat down as the actions of a racist white nationalist. Even if Bruce Lee is doing the beating. With some, it is never black people’s fault—always someone else’s.

[Cecily]

Okay, skip Bruce Lee and send in Jim Kelly to meet out some rough justice.

[Cecily]

Sorry, “mete” out.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Lol. “We’ll improve the education by giving it a nerdy Honky-sounding name:” the apogee of stupid leftist ideas.

[Trailerpark Badass]

“Electrical...” I’m serious, even my acid flashbacks exhibit a more sane and rational world.

[cyclotic]

Well, my kid is a NASA engineer and he’s never beaten anyone.

[IrishBrigade]

‘they are old enough to be on the receiving end of a beat down.’

any retaliation will bring the threat of civil unrest, which the cities view as the worse evil...the time is coming when blacks will not be called to account whatsoever for their crimes...

Nothing can be done to reverse the slide until mandatory education is ended at 8th grade.

Half the students in high school don’t belong in school. 90% of the students in college don’t belong in school.

Covering up the truth is destroying school for the ones who do belong there.

“Jesse and “Reverend” Al, among others, would condemn them as racist.”

So what?

[Jim Noble]

”But the media will portray any such deserved beat down as the actions of a racist white nationalist”

So what?

[frog in a pot]

..cut off ALL welfare. I know it sounds cruel.

Perhaps, if it is the single feature of the solution.

This may sound crazy if not equally cruel:
The problem seen by many is the taxpayer's direct and deliberate funding of the growth in our society of non-contributing citizens.

Now here is an example of "tough love":
How do we reverse the results of such irresponsible funding and instead provide an environment wherein citizens can take pride in their accomplishments?

Such a solution could include to name a few:
- gradually reducing the amount of welfare benefits one would be entitled to if they refused job training or a job;
- loss of voting privileges if on welfare for more than x periods; - etc.

Thanks for the ping.

The irony is thick. It used to be church people that would try to get nuisance bars out of the neighborhood. In an Orwellian world bar patrons are afraid of nuisance school children and try to get the school moved.

Our schools breed violence,evil, and despair. It's why shootings happen at schools and NOT at Amazon warehouses. You're right "Orwellian" is the term.

You gotta keep ‘em separated....
