Fix the parenting. Fix the thug culture.
However, these can not be done imho.
Situational awareness. Situational awareness. Plus that phrase, "Don't go stupid places, with stupid people, to do stupid things."

"Don't go stupid places, with stupid people, to do stupid things." I don't know, some of my favorite memories could've probably qualified as this ^

"Don't go stupid places, with stupid people, to do stupid things." I don't know, some of my favorite memories could've probably qualified as this ^ That's good advice in almost all situations. Unfortunately for many of these people they were just going about their daily lives. They weren't stoned in a biker bar at 2am talking to some dude named Tiny about stolen car parts. They weren't particularly switched on though.

They're splitting hairs.
This says it all. They don't give a fuck about the rest of us, just stopping the attacks against those of the Jewish faith.

At least this little bit made sense:
“These kids are targeting innocent people, and in many cases specifically targeting Jewish folks. We would not be silent if it were the other way around, and we will not be silent now. This behavior is racist, period. And we will not tolerate it"

Sheriff Lott has a lot of weight and credibility which the City of Columbia lacks especially with regards to crime reporting. Joy of joys, we now have the "Knock Out" Game in Columbia. www.greenvilleonline.com/article/20131206/NEWS10/312060045/Sheriff-names-national-gang-Five-Points-blames-members-playing-violent-knockout-gameRichland County Sheriff Leon Lott told a University of South Carolina honors class that members of the Bloods, a nationally recognized gang, have played a violent game called “knockout” in Five Points.
The comments, which were published Thursday morning in the university’s student newspaper, The Daily Gamecock, were unusual for a couple of reasons. First, Lott has always refused to name the gang operating in Five Points, saying he did not want to give it publicity or credit. Second, it was the first report of the violent game, called “knockout,” being played in the Midlands. Lott tried Thursday to step back from identifying the gang and told The State newspaper he would not comment further on what he told the class about the gang’s identity. As for the knockout game, Lott said he had gotten his information “from the streets,” and “from gang members talking about it.” He did not know the number of incidents or when they had taken place. In knock out, players roam the streets in search of lone people who appear vulnerable. A player then tries to knock a victim unconscious in one punch. The game has earned national headlines because of its callous, violent intent, demonstrated in videos posted online. But the Columbia Police Department has not received reports of the game being played anywhere in the city, including Five Points, said Jennifer Timmons , the department’s spokeswoman. Timmons said she spoke to the department’s gang investigators, crime analysis unit and commanders who oversee Five Points on Thursday morning to double check whether there were reports of it. Timmons said she could not absolutely say it had never happened because it’s possible that victims don’t report crimes. “We don’t want to cause panic,” she said. “We’ve had enough problems in Five Points without having misinformation being spread.” If the department confirms that the game is being played, the public will know about it, Timmons said. “That’s something we would shout from the rooftops because, number one, we would want to get it off the streets and, second, to let the public know it had been happening here so they can be aware and protect themselves,” she said. Lott said he told students about the gang and the knockout game in the context of Five Points becoming more safe.

Hey now I'm okay with that. Good luck, suckers.In all seriousness, that's their out - in order to make it palatable and savory to the media it sounds better when CR's leaders can step up for "the little guy". They have to do something, sooner or later there will be more shootings of these poor, poor misunderstood children and then the rally cry of tolerance through exceptional-ism will flood the airwaves.

I'm okay with that in that I don't want any innocent person getting beaten up or murdered. I don't care what color or faith they are. No one deserves that shit.
Don't like someone? Just leave them alone to do their own thing.
What I have a problem with is that these few people got chosen as worthy of protection in the media by the mighty Al Sharpton and the unspoken message because he singled them out when they are a small segment of the people attacked was...'Screw these other people, you shouldn't be doing this because these people are Jewish [not because it's wrong] '.
That's jacked up.
I don't know how that dude can call anyone else a 'racist' with a straight face.

Holy hell, I think I heard his nose disintegrate with that foot to the face. It seemed like the guy filming was that assailant's cohort (he clearly knew it was about to happen, saying "let's go let's go let's go")...someone should have kicked his ass too. On a side note, and I hate to say it (I really do) but anyone notice the ethnicity of the assailant?

Maybe, just maybe he learned a valuable lesson.
