13 year old brutally beaten by three 15 year olds on school bus

Quote from Lucrum:

Surely Eric Holder will be filing hate crime charges any day now.

Against the white victim? Yikes, and I thought *I* was cynical.
 
This entire incident does bring up a serious question. Obviously these three young men are going down the wrong path and their future looks bleak probably leading to either prison or death before they are 25 years old.

Obviously a culture of black rap artists promoting being a thug over education is not helpful. However it should be possible to intervene and get these youngsters on the right track - despite poverty, broken homes, and other issues.

My question... a serious question... what is the best way for society to intervene and get these 15 year olds on the right track? Obviously the cost to society of fixing the problem now is a lot less than the cost of lengthy prison terms and the future damage they will cause.

Cut taxes on the job creators so they will create more jobs!

Nobody can do anything for them. They must decide the path for themselves.

If their parents and their schools didn't point them toward being responsible and productive for their own good, ain't nothing anyone else can do to affect transformation against their will.... perhaps a choice between the Army and prison? However the Army doesn't want criminals, either.

Being a punk, drop-out, criminal, gang-banger is easy. Educating yourself and becoming responsible/successful is difficult.

You can't intervene at age 15 and expect success. They're already too far gone. What's the best way to stop this? A clean, sober, sane, loving mother and working father. Rare in the inner city black communities. Everything else has failed, and will continue to fail.

So you're saying the circumstances of their birth determine their character?
 
Quote from marketsurfer:

No doubt there is more violence in inner cities and ghettos. I was just making a point that the wealthy kids can be violent also. surf

Anyone can be violent. The question is where is it most likely?
 
Quote from Ricter:

It does seem like the underclass in most societies is more violent at the street level than the upper class. Hmm, wonder why...
Socialism, welfare, Low IQ's, little or no real families and poor social skills for starters.
 
Media only covers nonblack on black crime to sow racial division.

Black on white crime? Doesn't exist. Not worth a mention.

Somebody should beat the living hell out of those kids. I hate bullies.
