What's crazier?
Teens cannot drive a stick.
Teens can just get access to a gun.
Pretty sure that's not the right order of priorities. I love that the second one is not even worth a discussion in U.S. local news anymore.

It would be pretty much the other way round over here...The vast majority of cars over here have a stick shift, having said that a friend of mine creased over with laughter a few years back, then had to phone his brother to come and collect his car...after he broke his arm...and I told him I had NO idea how to drive a column shift :-/

Ain't they brave...Woooo a 70 year old woman's car. Ain't they stupid and hopefully the joke of the neighbourhood, can't drive a stick shift. Incidentally we don't call it a stick shift over here we simply call it a gear stick. Come to think of it, anything with stick in it's title now sounds kinda weird...except perhaps Walking

The way the Politically Correct news works in this country, if they do not give a description
of the "three teenagers" then you know they are black. If they were white
it would be the first thing they would inform you about.
How are local residents supposed to be on guard against these thugs when
they have no description of them ?

#8 It's actually a symptom of racism, not political correctness. Because they assume everyone will already think they are black, while somehow being white would make it more special. The white majority only commits less crime in proportion, because they have not been kept in a vicious circle of poverty for centuries. It is all about economic equality and opportunity. There should have been serious reparations to even the playing field decades ago. Now we see the results of continuing profitable injustice year after year and it will likely get worse. Affirmative Action will not be enough, and even that might be history.
But reading your statement, I'm pretty sure you know all that and would just prefer not sounding like a racists while implying racist conclusions.

#10 You make so many assertions,but you are wrong on so many levels.Get educated.
A 2012 study by the Department of Justice’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention revealed that in 2010 black youths committed six times more murders, three times more rapes, 10 times more robberies and three times more assaults than did their white counterparts.Blacks only make up about 13% of our population,yet they commit well over 50% of violent and other crime. Ever heard of the "knock-out-game"?
Poverty is not the reason;during the Great Depression in the US blacks did not go on violent killing and
robbery sprees even though they were poor and in need.At least two out of three black children are born to unmarried women and most never know their fathers. This change from over fifty years ago is one big reason the black youth get into trouble with no father around to guide them. Stating the facts is not "racist" (the most over-used word ever).
Reparations??? For slavery? Most Americans never owned slaves and American ships were not the ones that brought black slaves to this country. You can thank the Dutch,Portuguese,British,Spanish and French for that. 95% of the slaves from West Africa were sold in South America.
Arab Muslims took far more Africans from the north and east coasts of Africa to the Middle East as slaves.
The Muslim Barbary Corsairs of North Africa also took over a million Europeans captive by pirating ships and raiding villages along the coast of Spain and Italy.
