No offense but do you know how old and curmudgeony that makes you sound?

Arguably the best time to be alive in the history of our civilization.

Without US-bashing, somehow an underclass has developed and looking at what they are getting away with, i don't think ny amount of punishment will solve it as they are uneducated and clearly live on another planet. This only gets solved by somehow intercepting this at school level and finding a way to get these guys in solid employment before they turn 17.

LOL, of course...this is because of the East coast liberal flavor. To be fair, they should include NY, IL and CA, since many crazy stories come from these states as well, especially when including white collar crime, or those of high influence, or wealth. Those aren't as interesting for mainstream media for some reason !

. But, there is also another reason why these states have the most incidents. These are 6 of the top 7 populous states (other than PA). I rest my case; crazy folks come in all places, creeds, shapes and sizes!

Failure of leadership, including lack of enforcement of existing reasonable laws, rules and ethical standards, will eventually lead you to this point. We've seen this pattern at all levels: Super States, Countries, States, Institutions, Companies, Neighborhoods, Families. Will your's be next?

1 year military training at age 18?

Craziness continues on the bridge. Just saw on the news people are climbing on top of the structures. Perfect place to climb up and jump to your death. Another accident happened as well. Fun times for the idiots.

The first thing I would look to is a skilled trade. I suspect the "system" is still trying to get kids from broken homes and terrible parenting to to college, that is a HUGE leap and tbh will be tough for them to concentrate so hard for so many years with no tangible reward.

Skilled trades offer near immediate satisfaction from building/fixing something, there's still a ton to learn but it may be more suited to the kids of under-performing parents.

It feels like they need to be getting paid quickly, to avoid them resorting to this kind of crap because they now have something to lose. So finish school at 16, 2 yr trade school, ideally heavily subsidised, then 2 yr paid apprentice. Once reliable money starts hitting pockets the temptation to be an idiot is less likely to surface.

Great looking bridge, in fact a showpiece but unfortunately attracts a few crazies.

Esteban · 07-22-2022, 03:45 PM

Now as an afterthought the city is going to add cameras on the bridge to observe what's going on.

Great planning. They thought of everything.

And what exactly do they think the cameras will do...? They're certainly not a deterrent.

Good question. Maybe get the cops/ambulances there sooner to hopefully save some lives.

Also take down some license plates and get pics of some faces for tickets and arrests.

Esteban · 07-22-2022, 03:55 PM

Maybe when they put up signs saying there are cameras it will help as a deterrent.

I hope so, but if home security camera systems like Ring are any indication, it does nothing to deter porch pirates...so not sure about car hooligans either.

It's a shame the city puts time and effort into upgrading a bridge like that one only to have idiots vandalize and trash it.

Unfortunately it has to start a lot earlier than 17. Did you see the story with the young kids in MN cursing at the police and hitting them? They were toddlers, maybe 5 if that. It’s sad. I think Sedan posted it in the Ask a cop anything thread. They are raised with no respect for authority or rules. Something has to give. Society is doomed.

And it cost a shitload: $558,000,000.

C'mon chill out, just attach some healing stones to the bridge to re-align their chakras, no biggie. At $558 mil I'm surprised they didn't come included.
