Ear To The Street
A LOST GENERATION
They outlawed pit-bull in P.G. County over 20 years ago, but there’s still one on every other block. What does that tell you? You can have them as long as they don’t bite anybody. That’s the same approach to disciplining my children. I didn’t have to beat my kids much because the few spankings or beatings (whatever you want to call them) that they got early on were consistent and painful.
Let’s face it, a majority of these young ones today need their ASS whooped the way one mother did during the riots, just don’t abuse them. 
Not to beat an out of control child is abuse within itself because they will likely to end up in a class with blue walls, prescribed to take some type of drug that will really destroy them, in a jail cell, or worse of all, six in green.
The youth in Baltimore are broken and see little hope for the future. Their parents a barely raising them, they don’t have much money to begin with, the jobs are scarce, the programs don’t address their needs, they’re not being taught how to operate in this corporate world, the justice system is seeking only to warehouse them, their fathers are less than second-hand citizens so they can’t help them either, while their mothers, by and large, are over-worked trying to pay bills, stay in a house under foreclosure, hiding their cars from the snatch-man, and struggling to keep up with Beyoncé, and oh, did I mention, they’re broke? Now, that's just an exaggeration, but this is what many would say is their own case.
When you suffer a body of people that don’t have anything to lose, this is what’s going to happen. I can’t say I blame them. I thought it was sad, but it’s about time that they were finally showing the police that you can’t just keep beating on us and shooting us and treating us like we’re animals and kicking us like we’re dogs that don’t have teeth. The same people that were looting are the same people that have went about their lives in Baltimore city without so much as snatching an old lady’s purse, but they got tired and now if this is what it’s gonna be, police can snuff out a life like it’s nothing, well, let the politicians deal with the disgrace of not being about to manage a population in their care and our in our Trust.
Advertisment
If you have a company with a manager that abuses all your best employees to the point of going out of business, is it the manager’s fault, the employee’s fault or your fault that you’re out of business because you couldn’t keep your staff operational and in good spirits? I’m just saying. You fix a problem at its root. I cut that same weed every time I cut the grass instead of pulling its roots out of the ground. Uproot police that act like bullies and this never happens.
