What this thread has shown, as much as anything, as while there may be some degree of teen crime increase in some locales, most of us here were shielded from teen crime in our own youth so we are taken aback by the shyt we are hearing today...

I haven't heard a unique current story about teens yet. All this shyt is old hat. And for those who missed it, there's a link in here where North Carolina states it didn't follow juvenile crime before December 1, 2019, as juvenile crime, so it's statistics on increased juvenile crime are all pandemic era...

That's one state but it would be reasonable to believe there are other states that also don't have a long history of tracking juvenile data when we know what the 70s, 80s, and 90s were like in terms of crime in general. There's another article here about Baltimore that states an increase in juvenile crime but completely omits what year(s) they are comparing this increase to...

Most people didn't have to see teen crime like that growing up, thank yourself and your family for that. It's always been around and for those of us who lived it or were amongst it, it's unbelievable that there's these crazy increases. All this shot is old news and all the theories on why the shyt is increasing today, save for the pandemic, were said about us when we were teens---->as well as the older dudes before us when they were teens...

Juveniles were not committing violent crimes like this and at this rate BITD. This site loves denial. How often did we see these flash mobs or organized smash and grabs BITD?


😆 bruh it's okay, you guys were just shielded from it, either thru great parenting, a natural desire to not lust fir criminal experience, or both...

This link you posted says two teenagers went and robbed two different valet attendants. This is not abnormal in the context of criminalized teenagers...


This shopping center used to have a restaurant back in 2005-06, that's no longer there. Some examples I gave upthread, of two 16-year olds who robbed a pizza delivery driver and then shot and paralyzed him; and a 14 and 15 year old robbing duo; I listed these a few pages ago...

All four of these guys went in and robbed this restaurant many years ago, if I recall correctly they hit it right before closing and stuck up all the employees in there...

All four guys ages, at the time, were 14, 15, 16, and 16...

I knew all of these guys personally as we were all loosely affiliated with the same group of people. I never did any robberies with them, I was more inclined to drug dealing but we were all affiliated. Incidentally I was the first one who ended up going to prison but all of us except one, to my knowledge, ended up in prison:

•the 14-year old is scheduled to get outta prison on July 15, he been gone since killing a dude in June 2009 (while I was still in prison), at which time he would have been 17 going on 18. He's been locked up the last 14 years on that body, he almost 32 now;

•The 15 year old is the one who to my knowledge never went to prison. I do remember him having some minor cases he caught, went to jail a time or two but nothing ever stuck enough to him to float him up the river. Last I heard about him a few years ago he kinda like a hood legend/OG, he's 33 now;

•one of the 16-year olds on that delivery driver case never got out, he's almost 34 now, scheduled to get out next April which would be 18 years for him (been locked up since June 2006);

•The other 16-year old got out in 2018 after doing 12 years, and got back locked up again for dealing heroin in 2020, 33 years old now and scheduled to get off this next bid July 2024...

If anyone understands the issue of juvenile crime it's me because I know how it can derail your life long term. Most of us who are out there young either never leave the lifestyle behind or it takes us forever to do so. @get these nets will attest that I'm not a fan of this, "just look these young demons up" mentality, I know what happens when The System throws away the key on you...

That said, to your quoted post and the premise of the thread, teens robbing valet attendants may feel new to you. I can assure you that it isn't, and again, especially given the fact we already know that at least one state wasn't recording juvenile crime prior to just 3½ years ago, yall gotta understand that from where I sit, I don't have any reason to believe that juvenile crime is demonstrably worse today than it was in previous eras...

I understand that for those of you that aren't used to hearing stuff like this, it sounds new and like this era of kids is worse off...

Not the case at all. I think it is different and more prevalent now. Social media is turbo fuel to this behavior.
The "it happened back in the day but yall didn't notice it" is not gonna fly.
The amount of teens doing armed carjackings, robberies and shooting each other at parties it is happening more frequently today, and not just in big cities. Mass shootings in places like Dadeville Alabama?

Bruh if we had social media the way it is today it would have captured much of what I described, + more shyt that was happening around town that I wasn't around...

Social media is gas but I don't think it's creating more criminally-inclined teens, its just gassing the fame/clout chase. Back in the days you had to largely be around this stuff to know it was going on. There was no 24-hour media cycle, there wasn't social media. Cats were hood famous but social media has created the ability to "go viral" and be "famous" beyond just your hood...

To your Dadesville question:

I just told you I knew a brother who got to shooting at a party and hit like two people, but it was a crowded event and more people could've been hit. I also knew a brother who there was a huge gang fight and they beat a kid to death...

I also knew this kid killed in '06, and the kid injured with him:


Another party situation, lucky for everyone else the shooter was gunning strictly for those two guys and no one else, or else it's another multiple casualty situation...

I don't know fam, I know on here at least, my personal journey is pretty unique. You say it's not true that you were shielded from this stuff but I can sit here and think of dozens of accounts of teen crime that I either partook in myself or I was around. Not just an incident or few like maybe some people here. I can tell you about many, many situations...

I don't think if you were ever cognizant of your peers who were teen criminals, the ones who were REALLY living it, not just the kid at school who sold dimes or had a gun in his bedroom---->I don't think that if you were cognizant of the ones who were really "outside" that today's headlines would bother you or feel like more in comparison...

It only feels like more because of social media and the 24-hr news coverage; we already know, factually, that everywhere wasn't documenting juvenile crime in yesteryear the way they are now...

Who knows but many of them belong in work camps. They don't serve any purpose in the free world beyond cannon fodder, and that's being generous.
