What a sad world we live in

[cjjtulsa]

Just a microcosm of our society in general. "No good deed goes unpunished". The majority has been giving to the minority for decades, through social programs, affirmative action, and a myriad of other ways, only to be held in contempt.

You're a better man than me.

No matter what you say or do, these days there will be somebody to either ridicule you or tell what you're doing wrong. See above.

Well handled don’t take a step back until they change as a culture and teach right from wrong it will continue. Everyone should watch the dr phil segment floating around it’s very true.

And not saying there’s not bad in every crowd just disproportionately in some

It can be tough for some kids to understand that they are not child anymore. The teenager is still a kid trying to learn his way to be an adult. That's why he tried to man up and make threats. Some/many of these youths are not shown the way properly because of insufficient, uneducated upbringing by the parent (happens less often by parentS-It truly takes 2, a MOM and a DAD-and not a gender substitute) to raise the child in a balanced atmosphere so as to enter the real world prepared to understand and handle situations. You came across, without intention, as Uncle Sam. You were supposed to just give to that youth (not a child anymore) something indiscriminately as per their expectations or worse, their practices. If they were raised in a religious upbringing, with respectful and working parentS, this correction would not be necessary. (The word correction purposely chosen for future relation and understanding of correctional institute). Hopefully, someday, you won't recognize this person when watching the news. You won't have to bear the bad, somber, feelings in your good heart as the video clip plays and the now grown up 'thuggernaut' is crying out "I was just trying to get home to Momma", as they cuff him up in an alley next to is dead, bloody, used to be friend. Thanks for your efforts. You did your part by initiating, attending, and performing the first half or more. It's up to those remaining to respectfully meet you halfway if they are to show for a hand out.

You're right. It's funny to see that the person in the wrong here from some is the person trying to help - not the person telling the helper that he's "white in their neighborhood", the guy threatening the guy trying to help, or the teenager going for the typical "gibs muh dat". Nope. Our grandparents would never have tolerated this kind of B.S. That we've had a few generations that do is why we have what we have today. And it's only going to get worse.

Yes, one cannot reward bad behavior because it encourages more unacceptable behavior. That is a symptom of the sickness within our society, we have been rewarding bad behavior for decades and we are now starting to reap the results. Riot, destroy businesses, burn police cars and barricade police within their precincts and try to burn them alive and you'll be rewarded. You'll get what you want. Seems like a spoiled child throwing a fit and then the mother yields and gives the child the toy they are crying about just to shut them up.

You should have just let the kid have it. It could have been a small bright spot in his dark little world

Why give up an opportunity to teach a kid to follow the rules !!! You know like the good guys do

It’s apparent to me that the reason we “have what we have” in society today is because folks don’t take care of their own ! If everyone did, the world would be a better place !

His kind is what made me quit doing in person charity. I'll still donate to causes I believe in, but I'll never sling hash for the "underprivileged" again.
