Oh, those wacky teens.
These types of robberies go in cycles, driven by word of mouth.
If somethings works once others will try it until they decide that the risk is too high.
Oh those crazy, out of control “Amish” kids in Dallas!
In the past year, newspapers and television stations have been purposefully and deliberately redacting the race of any non-white perpetrators of crimes from the descriptions in their stories.
For instance, police might describe as suspect as a “Black Male, approximately 6’0’’ with short dark hair, average build and wearing a gray t-shirt.” The media will rewrite the descriptors in the story and the PC version will read: “Police say the man was described as a man in his mid-thirties, 5’11”-6’0” in height, with and average build, short hair, and wearing a gray t-shirt.”
Even where there is video, the media will describe the perpetrators as “teens” or “individuals” or “a male” so long as the suspect is non-white.
PC must prevail over public safety.
Aspiring rappers all I’m sure.
Hey, c’mon. It takes $$$$$ to get your aeronautical engineering degree.
Someone’s gots to pay.
Do we know it’s a crappy neighborhood?
Maybe the “teens” drove over to a nice neighborhood to find better victims?
Or, maybe you could choose to arm up and get some training and learn to protect yourself and your loved ones and not be sheep....
Did you see a “crappy neighborhood” in that video?
The perps didn’t even have a “crappy” car.
Nice to have home movies.
I know you are right but can we please be understanding toward the victims as in not blaming the victims? I thought once after a film with martial arts and action gunfire scenes that someone could blast through our door and one could hit the bedroom window and then spray the place with weapon fire and then I thought-—can’t anyone be relaxed and happy anywhere because of the Leftists, the “teens”,the MS-13 gangs and the terrorists? Everywhere like an airport for security?
We live by the actions of the criminals: lock car, do not gas up in Detroit or get carjacked there, avoid Chicago and San Francisco for tourism or a convention,get video home security system, check surroundings going into Trader Joe’s lot.
Like the sign for a park: No smoking,no drinking alcohol,no campfires,no unleashed dogs,no sleeping in park....Have fun and enjoy the park!—Park Service.
You’re still right, though.
Darn those Canadians.
Several years ago the Dallas jury I sat on sent just such a “teen” away for 60 years (eligible for parole after 30). His wreck of a Momma and sister did the cliche caterwauling as he was sentenced, had to be removed. He sat there like a bump on a log.
Police work was impeccable; DNA and fellow criminal associate confirmed his presence at crime scene. Multiple victims of his other robberies recounted their horrors during sentencing phase.
No drama for the jury to convict, only we would not give him life as the prosecutor had requested.
How else day gone git day money fo skoo?
Jane has five apples, Billy has seven apples, and Trayvon has four apples.
Q: From whom did Trayvon steal his apples?
Wallet.
Watch.
Gun.
Right foot.
Left knee.
Right knee.
Sure, my wife and I would have given you all something, it just would not have been wallets and cell phones!
In this case, I think that common sense would have been better than situational awareness.
Kinda hard to defend against an enemy advancing that quickly, armed with the element of surprise...even if you were armed. I watched this a few times. If the husband did have time to draw his sidearm, it is likely one of the two would have been shot. It was that quick.
Real Texans would have put these ferals in the ground. These people were probably gun free zone yankees who moved to Texas for a job.
