I think it's going to be a long summer, with the youts acting out.

Fatherless behavior.

In DC, there are reports that the PARENTS (you know, the 30-year-old single mothers of these uncivilized teens) are actually driving their kids to these riots.

Father's Day in DC is one of the most confusing events that you will ever see.

Fox News will show endless videos of black teens misbehaving, while white teens in the suburbs will be doing great harm that will be ignored.

Funny how that happens.

Post video of it.

You can't forget what did not happen.

Black Lives Matter protests were overwhelmingly peaceful, large-scale analysis shows
If anything, more violence was directed against the protesters.

An analysis found that just 3.7% of the protests involved property damage or vandalism — and some of the violent episodes didn’t even involve protesters.

Rivers of ink have been spilled over the BLM protests, and it’s not hard to understand why — you could hardly imagine a more polarizing event in the US social context. Follow the BLM coverage on CNN and then tune in to Fox News and you’d feel like they were talking about different events.

The study was led by Erica Chenoweth, a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School, and Jeremy Pressman, an associate professor of political science at the University of Connecticut. Since 2017, the two have been collecting data on political crowds in the United States, including the protests that surged during the summer. They’ve almost finished collecting all the data, and have already documented 7,305 events in thousands of towns and cities, involving millions of attendees. The only remaining figures that are left are from small towns, which the two say are unlikely to change the overall picture. With this gathered data, they were able to see the big picture on how the protests generally unfolded.

They found that just 3.7% of protests involved property damage or vandalism — and some of this 3.7% involved neither police nor protesters, but rather people piggybacking on the protests and engaging in vandalism. For instance, an officer killed in California is believed to have been shot by supporters of the far-right “boogaloo” movement, not anti-racism protesters. Furthermore, an anti-fascist protester was killed by a far-right group member during a confrontation in Portland.

Overall, the researchers say, violence during these protests was rare, and attempts to portray these protests as overly violent are not backed by actual data. Destruction and violence did happen at some protests, but this was the exception rather than the norm.

“In short, our data suggest that 96.3% of events involved no property damage or police injuries, and in 97.7% of events, no injuries were reported among participants, bystanders or police,” Chenoweth and Pressman write.

These figures should correct the narrative that the protests were overtaken by rioting and vandalism or violence.”

Yup, overwhelming with only 32 murders, and 2 billion plus in damages.

I hate to see you guys when you're not peaceful.

DURRRRRR

Homicide and violent crime are still less than HALF of what it was in the 90s when you ancients were young. LOL. The nerve of you criminal kids to suggest today's kids are out of control. Grow a brain guys and look at data.

 

[the watcher]

So now we are going to adjust the murder rate like inflation to mansplain it?

So you think HS kids were the primary perpetrators of murder in the 90's and that what's happening currently is a good alternative because at least they arent out killing people? WTF?

What were kids in HS doing from 99-2025 when the murder rate was basically the same as it is now and also not doing this?

 

[LeftofLeft]

MAGA goes after the Capitol. Are you claiming they’re arch criminals? Strange flex!

The Left has no rioters, looters, or arsonists ….. they are all peaceful protestors

You old folks just dont understand how easy you are to manipulate with social media. Basically you get a stream of outrage stories that reflect a miniscule amount of what's happening in America and you suddenly think the world is coming undone even though in aggregate you've never been safer or been around a more well behaved America. Wake up.

Agree wit your point about Trump having this the safest we have ever been

Did you read the article: DISPORTIONATE spending on cars regardless of the income level.

And someone who belongs to a Party that is ready to elect a Nazi to the Senate, and another one to the House who is saying that Jews who support Israel need to be imprisoned in detention centers, and marching around calling “Death to Jews!” needs to worry about the rampant bigotry on the Dem side.

The article said very little, and pointed to a study you did not read.

That this is an ancient racist trope is not in question.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Then put them on a fuckin' leash before I fire up the AC-130 I have parked in my back yard, dipshit.

Only pyshcopaths want to strafe teenagers you stupid ******* shit.

 

[TimFitz]

That’s OK. I’ll spend an extra $15 at the pump while I watch my retirement holdings go up by tens of thousands of dollars.

Good thing I was responsible, prepared for a career, spent within my means, and put away more than 10% of my income every year for 45 years.

So you think spending more at the pump is going to secure your retirement?

That’s an exercise in political excuse making.

Good for you that you’ve set yourself up.

But the comment does reflect the selfishness of the Trump cult.

Who? Name the political figure that egged them on.

Apparently you're lacking the ability to tell what's real and what isn't real.

Did you really believe I had an AC-30 gunship sitting in my back yard?

That this is an ancient racist trope is not in question.

1) There are many studies over the years that show that blacks do indeed spend disproportionately more on cars. This is a fact.

2) Regardless, your party is so bigoted that they are nominating Nazis for the Senate, suggesting that Jews who don’t renounce Israel be placed in detention camps, and call to genocide Jews.

Anyone who votes for the Bigoted Party has no standing to complain about so-called “racism.”

All the mayhem, death and destruction will be confined to heavily Democrat controlled areas.
Self-destruction at it's finest.

It plays well for them for some reason. And the cities have a huge broadcasting footprint with technologies and numbers of stations and outlets to show the population whatever is happening.

Did I say that?

I said that $15 more for a tank of gas means nothing considering all the money that middle-class Americans have made on the stock market. Half of all Americans own stock.

And there’s nothing selfish about noting that responsible people prepare for a career or trade, and then save for retirement.

 

[toobfreak]

Just think of how much money is thrown at this teen problem; "prevention". enforcement, and bribing them. All for no reason other than they somehow need this for their childhood development.

Have you ever considered that all these teen street gang stuff was spurred on by what was done to these kids just a few short years ago during Covid? No one suffered more than teens during Covid, where they were literally locked down in their homes for years, unable to go to school, barred from dating, no proms, no fun, couldn't go out at night, unable to visit relatives, trussed up in all kinds of worthless protective crap, not even allowed to go out at night running around having fun, sewing oats, go on a date, or even go visit a dying grandmother in the hospital?

The best years of their lives was taken away from many of these kids. And it was all for nothing. Teens were among the safest group from even getting Covid. Turns out the vaccine was a far greater risk to youth than the actual virus.
