After being briefed, Flowers told Mid-Hudson News “This is getting ridiculous. The teenagers are involved in unnecessary violence and we need to get the community involved to end it. It’s truly senseless.”

Maybe someone finally has some sense.

It is, it has been, and it will continue to be "ridiculous"...

As long as the woke culture keeps talking about "root" causes while ignoring the obvious that they won't talk about... As long as they keep blaming everything for a person's actions but the person themselves!

"IT"

It "IS" the personal, moral, and civil responsibility to live, act and behave in a manner that is lawful and respectful towards others. Period!

Also, that by violating these acceptable civil standards that they subject themselves to the consequences imposed by society. Absent any and all existential factors that may be utilized in efforts to absolve culpability for their act/actions. Period!

Maybe we should stop releasing the ones who can't after we catch them.


If you have trapped the groundhog who digs up your garden, do you just keep him in a cage for a few weeks then let him back out expecting him to stop ?

There *is* a real root cause, and it will not go away until we deal with it.

That root cause is lack of accountability. For anyone, about anything.

Can we really even blame most of the people that pull the trigger anymore? Look around from the perspective of why are so many doing things that result in them being shot at. I think a lot of the actual shooting targets are often the antagonists, and if we payed attention to who they were associating with, where they were congregating, and the activities they were involved in, many would come to realized the majority of them do not in any way contribute to a functioning civil society, and probably deserved it.

If you live by jungle law you get jungle activity. Survival of the fittest, the rest of us are still running under the mind set from 1776 (God, country, family). Yes God , why follow "mans law" in the jungle.

"Getting ridiculous". How long has she had her head up her ass? The ridiculous phase started quite some time ago. Glad to see she's not part of the problem.

Many off the inner city parents that I dealt with during my teaching career gave up parenting responsibilities to the schools.
See how well that is working.

No, accountability comes after the fact...

Root Cause would be what I prescribed, that people ACT accordingly, within the laws of nature and that of the land... To NOT commit offense against your neighbor! To NOT Do Unto Others... Period!

It's a hard sell... We are the only creatures on Earth that kill for sport, conduct war, etc... We are the only creature on Earth that Blushes (or needs to)... There's much behind the seemingly simple solution of behaving normal when "normal" is different for all. A gangbanger has a different normal than a suburban mom for example... Anyways...

But yes, if and when you do, you should then be culpable and suffer the consequences of your actions and decisions!

If you think we're the only creatures that kill for sport, you've never owned a cat.

Asking to "fix" human nature is a dead end. There will always be people who are that way. Society needs a mechanism to deal with them.

We have all but disabled ours, so you see what we get.

The vast majority of *real* crime is carried about by a small % of the population. You either remove them from society or suffer. We have chosen the latter because we are unwilling to hold them accountable.

harder to do when the jails are clogged up with victims of the war on drugs.
