However, I think the responsibility is on all o us, not just the municipal government.<br /><br />You're right, most kids do stay out of trouble. That doesn't mean they aren't bored and don't want to leave the city the second they have the ability to do so. That doesn't negate the fact that the city, over several administrations, has treated all ages "dance halls" as if they are a breeding ground for terrorism. Or that there really isn't a lot for the "can drive but can't drink" crowd to do in this city. <br /><br />So the fight ended and everyone was peaceful and no one was doing anything bad at all the very split second the first cop showed up? For a fight reportedly of as many as 200 people in a parking lot? There's people even getting into skirmishes in one of the news videos I linked to. With cops seemingly having responded pretty quickly, I don't understand how a single arrest was made. I don't think there were 200 people who were stirring shit and then all 200 ran away. In Castleton, which isn't exactly a place you can just walk away from. <br /><br />I think there's a lot missing from this story, but I don't think we'll ever really know because most have moved on.<br /><br />I think there's plenty of places you can get the viewpoint you want, Hug.

Its not the City responsibility to baby sit other peoples kids. However, the VAST majority of kids in that age group seem to find places to go that DON'T cause problems. <br /><br />"I am completely confused as to how a brawl can break out, that requires police to be called, and not a single arrest is made." Thats because the ppl involved in the fight or brawl RAN away when the One Cop got there. <br /><br />I think the focus of your blog should be on "Why Do "Some" Black Kids Act This Way In Public Places". "Why Do Such a Very Small Percentage Of Black Kids Continue to Be Disruptive in Public Places?" <br />"Why This VERY Small Group of Black Kids Make Black/White/Asian/Hispanic uneasy when they are shopping at this Mall"<br /><br />This should be your narrative, pointing to the people who are causing the problems in the first place.<br /><br />HugLEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08509629939341846320noreply@blogger.com
