Anyone in the current generation who thinks this kind of activity is cool or okay is lost to us. We aren't going reform them or change their mind. We might be able to imprison them or shoot them (shotguns full of rubber pellets?), but that's about it.

We need to start working on the next generation by teaching our children an old-fashioned ideal we used to call "personal responsibility." Taking personal responsibility for your actions has fallen out of style in the last 50 years, but if we work hard we can bring it back.

I've got no problem with posting the last six of the Ten Commandments. Call them God's law or just good ideas, or maybe "rules to keep from getting shot in a responsible society." I don't care.

Until we do we will just have more of this crap.

This (the bolded and underlined parts).

See my previous post with similar sentimental (#124).

Yeah they are only going to be a drain on society. Either by doing stupid shit like this, committing crimes and ending up in jail on the taxpayers dime, or just generally bottom feeding.

Oh..this is so 1950's. Everyone knows white collar theft is where it's at these days. Dumb ass kids.

*Fixed. I blame society and spellcheck.

You can't be serious.

Who is dangling a carot? If you work hard and earn money, you can buy anything in a conv. store. We are not talking about M-B, Ferrari, Lambo cars here.

Leading them? Everyone has a brain, able to learn things, makes his/her own decision (unless he or she is mental challenged). It is so easy/cop out to say "not my fault, it is 'fill in the blank' fault" instead of "I am my own man, I accept full responsibility for all of my actions, no one fault but my own".

Someone in this thread even said something about not that bad for a flash mob. How about IT IS BAD to steal things? I guess I am old school because I don't believe in behaving like a scumb/criminal and I never worry about any store owners would shot me dead because I don't plan to rob any stores, ever.

I believe that I'm close to the root of the problem here. Most of what I've seen in this thread are simpleton knee-jerk reaction types of responses. "Kill 'em all!!" LOL

Take my advice, spread the wealth, instill self-respect, self-confidence and a healthy respect for life. Only then will events such as this become a thing of the past.

There can be no self-respect, self-confidence nor healthy respect for life when the means to live is given without work or meaningful contribution.

You are the definition of the problem.

While I don't believe "kill them all" is the answer (letting them scumbags got off without any consequences is not cool either), but I don't believe "spread the wealth" is the answer either. Did we try that already since the 60's? Great Society programs anyone? How are them poors doing right now compare to the 60's? We all know the answers.

Self respect and confidence and all the "self" things must come from within and be taught by family members.

Gotta do it to them before they do it to you. That is, steal from the 7-11 before they rob you with their ridiculous prices. Search for "Stealing at the 7-11" by Commander Cody. Great song, I think it was played on radio for about two days before it was banned.

QFT...our welfare programs have gone off the charts over the past 50 years and what have those on those programs done? Learned to extend and take advantage of them.

Doing this (much like those that drive like asshats with kids in the car) teaches their children to think the same way.

I think it's total bullshit that the poor think they should have everything life has to offer and if they do get caught taking it, they should be let off since they were 'needy'.

I have made tons of sacrifices in my life, even in the 90's when I could have easily set myself up nice doing 'carding'...I skipped on things I couldn't afford and tried to learn what would I need to do to gain them through personal growth not picking up an illegal handgun and robbing people.

Why is it then do you think that many other countries that have even more comprehensive welfare and other social programs don't have nearly as many problems with them?

I think I answered that in what you quoted. Same way how the disaster in Japan had no looting/rapes, but in the US we lose power for 2 days and whole strip malls are decimated, girls raped and people robbed.

In these places you also don't have petty lawsuits put against you for doing the RIGHT thing.

Well opening up on them with a AK47 might be overkill i wouldnt lose any sleep over it.

This could have ended with violence against the staff and they should have the right to defend themselves with deadly force, if its 40 vs 1 or 2 then there is no way you are not in fear of your life, to many of these videos end with the beat down being put on the staff.

Did ANY of them grab beer? For shame.

If I remember this was in Canada right? We don't sell alcohol in convenience stores here. You can only get alcohol in government run provincial liquor stores or special cold beer and wine stores with a government licence. Oh and in restaurants and bars of course. Not in any corner or grocery store.

BS. Just because you heard it on the internet, or thought it up in a drunk stuper, does not make it true.


After the flood: US$500,000 taken when Japan's tsunami cracks a bank safe
"Police say the earthquake and tsunami that pulverized coastal Japan crippled a bank's security mechanisms, and left a safe wide open. That allowed someone to walk off with 40 million yen (US$500,000)."

There is alot of rumor it could have been contractors, however; a bank heist has nothing to do with the mass looting and violent crimes we get here when lights and communication go down.
