our corrupt mayor never will
S-T: In Gary [Ind.,] and in Beaumont, Texas, you talked about parents doing a better job parenting. Is that applicable here?
B.O.: Absolutely. That's what I refer to when I say we've got to get to the underlying problems here. Children have to be taught right and wrong and violence isn't a way to resolve problems. Kids have to be kept off the streets at night. Transmitting those values is important. A lot of these kids unfortunately they might not have parents at home who are helping to give them guidance. Their communities themselves are wracked with violence. They're seeing it every day going down the streets. The role of the community, the churches, other institutions, instilling a different sensibility in our young people -- that's got to be part of the solution as well.

thats what i was saying. too many parents out getting drunk and getting into trouble, not being accountable for kids. from the kid smoking weed and his parents not caring to the housewife saying to the kid ill give you alcohol just as long as you stay here. complete lack of accountability across the board. this generation of parents dropped the ball, and you are seeing there results now with a crazed, demented group of 18-30 year olds.
