We heard the interview with those two young girls who ha "such fun" looting and sticking it to the rich here in the US I was struck dumb. <br /><br />How do you deal with young people who are essentially feral with no social awareness let alone conscience?<br /><br />Where is the stick? What kind of carrot could possibly motivate them?<br /><br />Certainly, with the incredible coverage most of the serious offenders can be identified and then what?<br /><br />However, your story about the girls on the train shows it's endemic across all "classes" <br /><br />Keep up the blog.

The younger generation all "know their rights" and have a sense of entitlement (and invincibility) that is a complete mystery to me. If they want "it", they believe they should have it by whatever means.<br /><br />It's incredibly sad and very frustrating to see the police being blamed, when they (and all the emergency services) put themselves on the front line in what must be terrifying situations.<br /><br />Keep up the great writing! xxNorthern Birdnoreply@blogger.com
