Society is failing to instill morals in more and more youth.

Nah . . . only if the one of the girls was Black (or Brown) and the other girl was White . . . and then the White girl was racist, even if she was the one that got stabbed. Think . . . leftist.

It's a sauce problem.

Bidenomics shortages.

The only logical explanation is that this out of control crime and violence is what the Dems want.

Upvote

The US has always had a violence problem.

No more than any other newly settled country that was wild and wooly a little more than a hundred and fifty years ago with half of it still deadly dangerous frontier territory. I sure wish that leftists knew how to read and comprehend history.

You factor out democrat run cesspool cities and the US is actually quite safe...

Aye.

Then what are the social factors driving the violence (especially committed by teens) in those places compared to places where crime is not so bad?

You might want to look at history centered around penal colonists from the Scottish/English borderlands, most ending up in Southern Appalachia. Their propensity for violence, criminality, low achievement in education, and high unemployment has continued all these centuries, their descendents still known by the pejorative, ***** Trash.

Those who later went West during that expansion in the 1800s carried these tendencies with them, as did those who migrated to cities up North in the 20th Century. You know, to NYC, Detroit, Chicago... also bringing with them people of another racial backgound who after a few centuries emersed in that culture picked up a habit or three from them.

This isn't the Colonial Era anymore. Can't keep blaming bad behavior on that.

This takes a few paragraphs, but it gets to the details eventually:

Dems just love to call white folks trash. It's all part of your political philosophy's blindness to prejudice, right modda?

Why do you like to call them that?

Other countries have gotten better. We just keep getting worse.

You mean other newly established super powers responsible for keeping the world safe? No . . . instead you mean micro nations dependent on US to keep them free. Individual situations matter. Bah . . . I am finished trying to educate leftists on WHY the United States is different from tiny little nations that do absolutely nothing. A study of history . . . it does a brain good . . . which is obviously why leftists in control of the educational system have dumbed it down so much.

So you're using our world power status as an excuse for daily mass shootings? What kind of pretzel logic is that?

Read history and puzzle it out. It would do the intellect some good.

UK is going down hill. Total mayhem at the Nottinghill Festival this past Monday 8/28.

Nothing like it has now.

Like I said, it's gotten worse.

You acknowledged the existence, but nothing about worse.

Always?

Not choosing your words particularly well (again), hey apples?

Remember apples, the great Wendell Johnson said: "always and never are two words you should always remember never to use."

AppleIs*

Irony, much?

black on black crime isn't news... obviously, the poor dead girl (who, with another teen, assaulted the killer before being stabbed) was a victim of white supremacy

There can be both? Are you serious? Cons will utter any excuse to ignore gun violence.

Of course there can be both. Not explicitly mentioning something in a limited medium of communication like a meme doesn't exclude other reasonable viewpoints.

"Cons will utter any excuse to ignore gun violence."

Not really. I won't speak for "Cons" but I will say that as a believer in the 2nd amendment, it's clear to me that while neolibs are clamoring for *more* gun laws that will take firearms away from law abiding citizens, they also want to do things like defund the police. This means they want to prevent the police from being able to protect my family, while at the same time taking away my ability to protect my family. That does not add up.

Plus, you're going to have to convince me why we should try *more* gun laws when a legitimate question is, if gun laws work, then why don't gun laws work? So first, you'd have to convince me that any of the gun laws we have on the books now have been effective at reducing gun violence, and throw in proof that local DA's actually prosecute when those gun laws would allow them to do so.

If there are gun laws that have been effective, why aren't we studying why they work and build on that? Dems treat gun laws like they treat govt money. They think just throwing them around will solve problems. That's not particularly bright.

Dems need to grow up in order to have an adult discussion of the issue instead of acting like spoiled kids who won't play ball unless they get exactly what they want. In other words, they do nothing constructive to actually try and solve the problem, but instead seem to be more interested in using the issue to further their political agenda. If it's as bad as they would have us believe, they should be able to put politics aside in order to solve the problem.

Which once again proves that they prefer having the issue to run on, politically, rather than solving the problem for the benefit of the people they are supposed to represent, and ostensibly care about.

Again, you're misusing "neolibs"
