What's missing...?
Self esteem? lol...
I wonder...would the public spectacle of the gallows and death at the end of a rope restore the fear of consequences?
How uncivilized should we treat the uncivilized among us who prey upon and often kill the civilized?

What’s missing...?
What’s missing? I’ve tried to understand that too. Is there a moral compass that’s missing? Something just isn’t right.
Personally, I believe the breakdown in the family is a good place to start. For that, blacks and only blacks have to take responsibility. They’re the ones that allowed their families to be destroyed.
No, it will not. Punishments in old England were quite painful. Still, thieves continued their work. They either believed that *they* won't be caught, or the prospect of punishment was beyond their limited imagination.
I suspect that many of those "teens" have no purpose in life. They don't work to learn things, to become professionals, to make useful products, to provide useful services. They live like weeds that only consume but never produce. Like weeds, they do not care about others. Like weeds, they do not think about the future. They don't make plans, and they don't work toward them. They only live in "now", without concern for the future. That's the philosophy of a young man who is already old and broken inside, burned out by hate toward everyone else, and made into a dangerous antisocial construct.
This is not a new problem. Until the 20th century gangs of highwaymen were present in pretty much all countries. The solution was simple: the local law instructed the lawmen to hang caught bandits on a nearest sturdy support. The same method was used to deal with pirates. This was done not because the local baron had no use of a pair of hands; it was done because the baron had no illusions about rehabilitation of those criminals. Isn't it funny that feudal lords of ancient times knew humans better than a modern, educated judge does?
