Treat gangsters, thugs and lowlifes like royalty during their formative years (i.e. adolescence) rather than instilling in them proper education and self-respect and this is what you end up with. Why do you think a majority of so-called sports "stars" act the way they do? They have been told all their lives that they are better than others because they can throw a football, put a basketball into a hoop or boom a 400ft homerun. They have been given educational opportunities to elite colleges that other, more deserving, students should have received. These other more deserving students would have surely done more with the opportunity than Quentard M. "Handles" Johnson (or some other unpronounceable name) who ends up in the NBA, NFL or MLB making millions of dollars riding with his homies, burning blunts, increasing the fatherless child population threefold and being above the law when it comes to accountability.

The sad part about this is that the press will fixate on what the police and security did to secure the area (i.e. "excessive force" and other neat little words Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will use to incite racism) rather than fixating on the culture, upbringing and responsibility of the students and parent to NOT act like gangsters and thugs.

Always stay away from these "packs", they're really teenage animals.

Absolutely nothing but trouble, on the streets or the subways.
Several times riding the subway, they would cram in maybe 15 to 20 at a time.
Hitting each other with no regard for others around them, yelling, using the "n" word like no tomorrow, menacing others and daring others to provoke them. Causing fear and general mayhem, esp. women with their young kids.

And guess what- they're pretty all much minors, so you can't take any physical action if one of them starts something without getting the "community:disgust:" to take legal steps against you.
Esp. with the current racial atmosphere in NYC nowadays.

He will have everything to do with it when him and the other fecal maggot, Jesse Jackson, see a white security or police officer subduing an unruly youth assaulting someone/security guard/cop.

Wow...way to keep that crutch alive there, sport. Contribute much to the Rainbow Coalition? Every time a topic is brought up for discussion regarding unruly, angry, out-of-control mobs (that just happen to be comprised mostly of minorities in this case) and someone comments on the fact that the pattern continues to repeat itself then people who comment are labeled racist.

Yeah, call me racist...a white guy married to a black woman for 15 years with two beautiful kids with friends and family members of all nationalities. Yeah, I'm the poster-boy for racism. GTFO with your ignorance and short-sidedness of the major issues at hand. You keep labeling any irresponsible and reprehensible act by minorities as "justified" because of racism and I'll keep my eyes open to the bigger picture and the root causes. Bill Cosby had it right months ago when he spoke out about the actions and lifestyles of some African-Americans today. He was villified and labeled a "race-traitor" by many blacks and looked down upon by the Al & Jesse show. Those two sheisters know that their inflow of "donations" (i.e. their subsidies for an extravagant lifestyle at the expense of many) would quickly dry up if there wasn't opportunities for them (and apparently you) to label people/events "racist". /tirade off

I think people focus on the race of the people involved and ignore the other things they have in common - they're poor and live in an urban area. I think those factors have a bigger impact on a person's development than their race. Look at poor, urban white kids and middle class black kids from the suburbs - which has more in common with poor, urban black kids? Which act more like poor, urban black kids?

This has nothing to do with race and everything to do with how these children were brought up. Ghetto kids whether Hispanic, Black, Asian or White all act like the same.

The Family Man doesn't like black people!

Just kidding....your on point man, don't listen to these kids who say otherwise.

Al Sharpton WILL have EVERYTHING to do with this if it plays out like I and many others think it will.
