First generation works incredibly hard, trying to make a better life for their families. Much of the second generation feels entitled to a good life without the hard work. We are heading for some really difficult times.
In this case, I think we can instead chalk it up to the toxic combination of poor, single mother, in a bad neighborhood. The gangs thrive on it.
I don’t buy that. How is it that Asians come here, and yes I do know there are Asian gangs, but the vast majority do excellent in school. The same with people from India. They too have major language issues and we don’t cater to them. The older one was brought here at 4, obivously the younger was born here, neither took advantage of the free education. Yet, the 4 young people they shot did and were going to make something of their lives. The mothers ignorance is astounding. We have lowered the bar so much when it comes to our society and children, all in the name of liberal social experimentation and being PC.
