An Entire Generation Has Turned Feral
The American Spectator ^ | April 30, 2025 | James Fritze

What do you get when you take a 40 percent out-of-wedlock birthrate, mix it with a 25 percent absentee-father rate, and sprinkle some social media on top?

You get feral kids.

Raised by their devices and peers, and educated not in the school of virtue but of virality, most of them are in their late teens to early twenties. Anybody living in our nation’s largest cities has become acquainted with these kids in recent years — from the teen takeovers in Chicago and illegal house parties in Nashville to the drag racing in Florida and the storming of malls in California. These kids have reached the age of majority, and they have been sicced on the world.

What crimes do they commit? Looting, assault, damage to property, illegal drag racing, setting off fireworks, obstructing traffic, violating curfew, arson, evading arrest — the works. On March 28, a 15-year-old boy was shot during a teen takeover in Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood. On March 29, a hundred-strong mob vandalized police cars in the Ozone Park neighborhood of Queens. That same day, motorists on three-wheelers staged a takeover of Washington Avenue in Houston.

On February 28, some 200 teenagers broke into a newly built home in East Nashville and threw a party with booze and drugs. Owner Kyle Grasser was alerted and called the police, only to learn that no officers were available. He was forced to break up the party himself. The teenagers caused $100,000 in damage.

In the last three months of 2024, Los Angeles County witnessed an increase of 88 street takeovers. In September of that year, the Ohio cities of Columbus and Cleveland endured street takeovers within weeks of each other. Police in Columbus arrested almost two hundred people in a single night.

When the Moynihan Report was published in 1965, the out-of-wedlock birthrate among blacks was 25 percent. According to the Center for Equal Opportunity, it’s 70 percent today.

The only mention of race in this article about "teenagers."

The term "feral" assumes they were civilized at one time.

The term "savages" is frowned upon but fits.

No identification of species.

Easy to guess who they are frantically trying to avoid mentioning.

Talk about the elephant in the room! It is overwhelmingly a racial issue. If anything
this particular race has polluted American culture far beyond its number.

Tipper Gore had it right.

The term “rehabilitate” only applies to those who were ever habilitated in the first place.

people sometimes talk about having an honest conversation about race in this country. Can you imagine that? What if you actually spoke your mind? I would pay to see that.

I would bet that figure is old and that it's closer to 80+ percent. Anecdotally, based on observation and social media, it seems very well accepted, perhaps even expected, that once a young black girl hits puberty she starts catting around and then has multiple children by different fathers by her early twenties. Not implying white girls don't do this, but it is at a far lesser rate than their black female counterparts.

What is the statistic on the sole female head-of-household in the black community versus every other population group?

The American Spectator is a conservative publication. Or at least, Conservative Inc. And yet, even they dare not mention the elephant.

Not hardly.

We don't have any of these vicious criminals where I live. They wouldn't be comfortable here. It's why I live where I do.

I could never live in venues where these violent criminal are. No way, it just wouldn't end well.

Ya mean conversation #5,740,891? Bull sh*t!

We're way beyond having yet another conversation. That ship sailed many years ago.

It's like having yet another conversation about government sponsored violent open borders. It's all bull sh*t. There is nothing to talk about.

I went to college in Nashville. IIRC, "east" Nashville was populated by a particularly undesirable and useless demographic and I can imagine why "no officers were available."
