It’s fairly obvious that a growing number of young punks have absolutely no fear of the legal system anymore.
Why should they. They play the full deck: The race card (when they can), the broken home card, the poverty card, et fricking cetera.
If they are minors, they wave that around, too, even to the point of bringing charges against an intervening adult for child abuse.
They are the vanguard of an army armed with disproportionate self-esteem, few moral underpinnings, no conscience, an entitlement mentality, and no qualms about using violence.
