The “Glock Out” game seems to have been played a few months back, with the knock outter living to tell the tale. Very sad, this could’ve been anyones Mom or Grandma. It is a sick and getting sicker society we live in. Dumb punks with nothing better to do than assault people who can’t or will not fight back. My daughter, when she was about 11, was chased by two boys that threw snowballs with rocks in them. The little punks were lucky they were nowhere to be found, when I got home from work. It’s not only in New York. This sickness of hatred and sociopathism is being spread, as we speak, through parents who do not give a damn, are just too busy or are sociopaths themselves. You cannot learn a lesson of good from a parent who hasn’t a clue. I know that poverty plays a role in this, but there have been times we had to live on Top Ramen and we made it just fine. It’s a choice we all can make. Is it compassionate? Then do it. Is it wrong? Then don’t. Personally, for me, I am 55 years old and if someone does that to me, I will fight back! I hope they send these punks a message that this is not the right thing to do.
“I know that poverty plays a role in this”
Really?
What role does it play?
The only role I can see that poverty plays in this is the government using poverty (that they help perpetuate, BTW) to stoke the fires of discontentment and victimhood among certain subsets of the population.
