    why not knock the OP first for clamining that "hundreds" of teens wrecked the place considering that's the much more egregious lie here.

    We need to remember that these are American teens.

    Only Americans teens would destroy things because of a first world problem.

    No, the issue is that we allow stupid people to breed.

    In the 1960's out of wed lock births, was in the single digits percentage of all birth's in the US. The percentage now is close to 40% overall.
    Do you know the primary cause of single-parent births? Incompetent men. Wrap your shit, get a vasectomy and/or pull out.

    The largest portion of the prison population, are comprised of inmates who where raised in single parent homes.
    This doesn't mean anything. It's a pathetic attempt to shift blame from those who actually commit the crimes to the parent(s). There is no reason, whatsoever, for two people who don't want to be together to stay together. Period. Also, you realize that the largest percent of inmate crimes are drug-related, right? The entire "War on Drugs" has been nothing but detrimental.

    Use to be marriage was considered to be a sacred institution. Now it is looked at with no more value than a signed contract with a company.
    Marriage is and always has been little more than officially-contracted monogamy. People that convince themselves otherwise are delusional.

    Figured this thread would get no traction. There's nothing even remotely defensible about what happened. It's too cut-and-dried.
    Remember: Words are not violence.
    Make your own groups!!!

    I guess no one wants to shame them for not social distancing?

    Yes yes, we get it, Trump beats up peaceful protestors, but random teenagers beat up arcade machines, so really the left and right are equally bad, right?

    ...that's what you're trying to say here, isn't it OP?

    Well here's something for the concern, presented with tasteful robot puppet commentary:

    Should do the same in Seattle and portland as well. Kids growing up right now are learning that destroying other peoples property is fine.

    lol

    Imagine believing that there have never been riots in the history of the United States.

    Also, imagine that one of the few things children actually learn about the history of the United States was that a group of people threw some tea into some water and it was a pretty important event for what would become that country.

    no, they won't because of political reasons.

    It says, almost figuring out that politicizing this in the first place was fucking stupid. Almost.

    People defending the destruction of property: what's your street? Point the protesters in your direction.

    Thanks for the ad-hominem; it supports your inability to support your argument.
