At Pizza Heaven in Upper Darby, the after school rush after only one full day of school has become unbearable.

The kids, they say, from Upper Darby High School forced them to close early.

Corinne Gountis, of Pizza Heaven said, “It starts off with a group of 10, then 30, and then they’re jumping on tables.” They say so many kids came in on Wednesday, acting up, they requested police outside their shop Thursday. […]

Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood says they have to keep the kids safe. But it’s coming at the expense of the safety of the community. […]

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. If they don’t move when you ask them to move, lock them up. It’s that simple.” …

“It starts off with a group of 10, then 30, and then they’re jumping on tables.”

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.

It’s a puzzle. What kind of “kids” might this be?

But let’s be honest. Not for that Vast majority here.

The chances of getting assaulted in my neighborhood or the whole south side of where I live just by walking around is almost zero.

I have NO reason to ever go to the dark side of town.

My job is in a white neighborhood and in YEARS I’ve not heard of one person being accosted.

I don’t care of bkln and the bronx and parts of manhattan tear themselves to pieces.

I’ll worry when it starts hitting home.

But we wouldn’t put up with it here just like you guys wouldn’t in your neighborhoods.

***I have NO reason to ever go to the dark side of town.***

I felt the same living in Little Rock and Tulsa, fifty years ago. Certain areas of town were so safe you could walk out at night. Other areas you stayed away from. Now it is worse.

“The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world it leaves to its children.”

I like that. I like that very much.

“Free rangers” describes most of the “Out of Africa” people to a Tee.

Michael Chitwood was once the anti-gun, anti-second amendment police chief in Portland, Maine. Fit in well with Maine’s moonbat community.

Upper Darby used to be an upper middle class neighborhood in the 50’s and 60’s. The Tower theater was a classy movie and then music venue. Seems like the West Philly culture has spread to the suburbs. Both my wife and I went to high school in Upper Darby; she at the public high school where these kids are from, and I went to Bonner, the Catholic school down the street. Doubt any of the Bonner guys in their still worn uniforms were in this crowd. Notice no pictures shown of who they were.

Yes... It is a very good quote I try to live by. We personally have the future of 11 grandchildren to think about in all this.

The police lieutenant says the police have to keep the kids safe. Both cops and black youths learn lessons from past police versus black lawsuits and it’s the business owners, employees and civilized citizens who must now pay the price.

The Feral Generation exists in all Western countries now. No manners. No morals. No future. This is what the world without God and families looks like, you secularists. You own this chaos.
