The Pestilent Underclass
I try not to clog up the site with videos. Once you start down that road, it can be difficult to ever leave it. Why bother writing anything at all when you can just host lotsa vids?
But I do use them occasionally. Whereas they’re usually amusing or revealing, the one above is disturbing.
Only in today’s militantly non-judgmental, viciously self-centered, victimhood-inspired, entitlement society could a group of people be so stupid as to film themselves doing something like this and still not have been arrested for their crimes.
These defective bottom-feeders are young Somali men. Their wasted lives are pitiable enough in isolation, but compounded by their thoughtless squandering of the extraordinary good fortune that’s resulted in them living in the US rather than Somalia.
It’s pretty safe to say that these people tend to come from broken homes, where parental authority is absent, personal responsibility doesn’t exist and ever-increasing handouts are not only demanded but received. In short, all the things that the Left just loves to encourage, in its tireless efforts to tear down the fabric of our racist-pollutionist-unfair society.
The UK has the same problem. When conservatives mention it there, they’re slandered as upper-class, elitist, aristocratic toffs. When conservatives draw attention to it here, the reaction is to vilify them as white-supremacist racists.
Common thuggery of this nature is widespread everywhere, and its cause is always the same – not race, but lack of education. The ascent of Western civilization was marked by nationwide clamorings for education and the pursuit of self-betterment: this nihilist pride of the rapidly expanding underclass signals our descent.

G and Marvin?! Can one actually “be all gangsta” with a moniker like Marvin? The video reminds me of that happy slapping craze a while back. Seems like that was popular in parts of the UK.
To the point of the post, yes, there is a persistent underclass that lives off the system and drifts from one crisis to the next and from one governmental department to the next: Child Services, Family Court, welfare, medicaid, criminal court, prison, etc. Race and economic status aren’t determinative factors, but are geographic trends. A stroll through any Family Court will convince you that this problem is going to be with us forever, or as long as society is willing to abdicate the role and responsibility of parenting to the state.

Yeah, it’s kinda like being gangsta when your name is Arthur: not gonna happen.
Point very well put, RtofCentre.

Too much time on their hands. They’re going to be awfully surprised one day when they shove some guy down and find out he only looked like a pussy. Kinda like those guys that got their asses kicked by the men dressed as women coming from the costume party? You can post that video then. lol!

Wasn’t there once a time where you had to be busy working to keep from starving? I suppose holding that view would be mean. Like pushing little children.

One of these times, they’re going to screw with someone that is going to teach them a lesson in humility, along with a visit to the local ER.

Basic thing. If the above little dirtbags show up where I live, it will not be pretty. I grew up in the Wild West. North Central Montana, in towns that still had saloons with swinging doors. One still had a hitchin’ post outside, in the late fifties and early sixties. Get the picture? And just for giggles, men wore Colt Single Action Revolvers and Winchester Rifles were in racks in pick up rear windows.

The real issue isn’t a lack of education as these mindless idiots are sure are lacking, but a lack of a moral compass. You can’t cure stupid as these future guests at one of our correctional facilities (if not the mourge) prove, but you can cure immoral and mean. However, since it’s to the advantage of the powers to be to keep them immoral, the cure isn’t going to happen because which party are they going to vote for when they get to voting age (if they’re not already given how the demoncrats operate)?

This is disgusting. I wish one of these “gangstas” would roll up on me while I’m jogging. He would get a quick taste of the collapsible baton I now carry when running, and then he would need to wear a mask for the rest of the school year to hide his broken nose.

They cannot get their asses kicked soon enough.
I rushed the post a little, though – family breakdown, as RtofCentre and madmath say, is the root from which most anti-social problems spring: violence, drug addition, complete disrespect for others, and a total lack of interest in education. Who’s going to teach you these values if not your family?
Politicians?

At some point people need to be responsible for themselves. Lack of parental role models – or other role models – can’t ultimately be the excuse used for this kind of behavior. People know right from wrong – they make a choice to either do the right thing or the wrong thing.
Karma is a testy bitch and it will come back and get them all someday.
