“I have no clue what that pathology is, however.”
Isn’t it obvious? AG Eric Holder has demonstrated and said that he wouldn’t prosecute “his people”, and the word is out. There will be no repercussions if you happen to be one of the chosen.
And this just didn’t happen overnight, we’ve been building toward this for at least four decades now, when liberal guilt and male sensitivity became all the rage.
But for those of us who been on the receiving end of crime from young black thugs, this is all recognition of a problem that’s been festering and growing.
And it’s a reminder that you can NEVER successfully delegate responsibility for personal safety away from yourself. When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
I see what you're saying Tigerized but this pathology predates Obama. It's most certainly related to the whole welfare mentality but there are plenty of people of other races on welfare yet those teens aren't doing these things. There's something vile at work among this particular demographic and while I see many indications of it--the music, the dress styles, etc.--I don't think that any of those are the actual pathology. I was initially struck by the way the Minneapolis station didn't say a single word about the one trait all of the perpetrators share and instead focused on how bad a curfew would be. I think the real news story is and has been for at least a couple of years the fact that mobs of black teens are attacking adults of other races and no onein any position of authority is doing anything at all to put a stop to it. I agree with several posters: arm yourself and when attacked by these herds start firing. If enough people kill the thugs at the moment of attack word will get around and it will stop. Until then it's only going to get worse.
