The Superpredator Scare | Retro Report | The New York Times 

Nahh this is why ya shouldn't binge watch the predator facing Arnold on a tight loop while high on crack. Such action leads youto imagine predator as having an "S" on his chest and a flowing red cap, with lazer eyes...

Yep, shows you how much power academics actually yield. The sciences, and in this case the social sciences, can do much harm and therefore have a great amount of responsibility to do the right thing.

Your not wrong there. And most systems work in a counter intuitive way.

I think the point was the dangers of moral panic.

Yes it’s totally a myth! Ignore all of the news articles of black kids stabbing women to death or robbing banks! Just ignore them! Pretend it’s not happening!

Murtaza Bijani David was the king of Israel. Not really a big figure in Christianity.

ain't that the way

He has also acted 68 for 30 years

It's how they age

Well yeah he's a vampire.

I am not American but I have heard trump had added fuel to the fire then

@@udhavvarma7097 he did. He was almost entirely responsible for fueling the entire thing.

They were not wrongfully convicted. There is a mountain of evidence proving that they have done it. Their release was purely political.

@@Biohazard1999 Yeah, I mean apart from anothers man's confession, his DNA matching that which was found on the victim, zero of the victim's DNA being found on the convicted kids, the coercing of the kids - sure, A MOUNTAIN of evidence. And btw, the central park five were not "released" - they all served their sentences in full before having their charges vacated. AND if this was a "political" decision, why would they charge another POC with the crime? Go away, troll.

@@karolineCPH not sure why you calling me a troll, I'm really not. I don't believe at all they were coerced. Seen the interrogations in full as they were released and to me it looked like they confessed and gave specific details. It's not that none of their dna was found on the victim - it was inconclusive. The medical examiners agree that the amount of damage inflicted on the victim pointed to multiple attackers. The felon who took the blame for himself actually got a sweet deal on it. He was already imprisoned for life but was moved to a different facility for the confession. I truly believe that they are guilty but I guess only they know the truth.

LOL

That's for sure and people are heartless in their comments

Trying children as adults is inherently oxmoronic. It's an admission of guilt by the institutions ( especially the court system, which would seem to be engaged in political overeaction to overcompensate for thier futility to positively affect society ) thatre responsible for raising them. Dad's in jail/ don't know who he is= big problems, especially with boys. Mom's on drugs = problems for her children. Mom's away, working as hard as she can at $ hit jobs= not enough supervision for " latchkey kids ", not enough money to get out of the " poverty cycle"... The actual problems are many, the key is getting to kids before they get jumped into gangs, sell drugs, commit gang crimes. It's hard to admit, but the end result of people treating kids like unwanted garbage is they're forced to find thier own way, and naturally seek out the lowest common denominator. The " war on drugs " has had numerous casualties, stuffed the prisons full, and is essentially a racewar on the poor.

Foo smoked yummy a lil boy

Too bad their parents didn't raise them to be a successful contributing member of society. They just left them to be victims of the system.

This really gives you the background to the inspiration of “The Boondocks.”

Yeah I love these

Was not a myth

Not in America. America produces criminals by sending them to prison. In Germany we actually rehabilitate, instead of making the problems worse. There’s issues with lack of prosecution(for hexual offenses) in Germany, but our prison system itself works much better. Just a side note: I live in America & my wife is American, but I am German.

@@HorizonEyes why do you live in America?

Of course neighborhoods ripe with inner city gangs will have an excess of youth violence. Giving a machine gun to Beavis & Butthead and manipulating them is easy for older mature 25+ guys. The focus should be the enablers not the kids, the very old men at the top and crooked government agents who bring drugs in.

They needed a caring environment BEFORE they did any of that. Once they’ve done it, why should I trust them to behave once they’re back in society. What’s been going on in the States for decades now is proof of the fact superpredators are a thing.

I see what you did there. 😏

poff W puff W freedom of speech, remember

morgengabe1 They are using it to fight the bad though. These kids are killing others over $50.

Exactly, gangs can function extremely similarly to the military.

206 guy not always. We’ve done terrible things to innocent people for money and oil, not just bad guys.

No, thats an apex predator who hunt 2 legged prey, while working on a two way firing range and being hunted. Get your head on straight. Embarrassing.

Not good for all the kids-tried-as-adults still in jail though

He has a lot to answer for.

i’m not trying to be political or anything, but it is interesting that even though children committing violent crimes is surprising now, they are now committing school shootings. the decrease in total violence (as you said) and increase of mass murders (school shootings) is strange. i wonder why

But that's exactly what they do. These predators are not "deprived and humiliated" in the work place and judicial system. They make their way to the judicial system because they are the ones doing the depriving and humiliating.

@@superpredatorsforbiden-har103 . It doesn't require power to do malice, but it does to elude justice for it. Eventually though, a larger justice will prevail...that has nothing to do with God. Brace yourselves...it's gonna be ugly.

@@superpredatorsforbiden-har103 Nice profile pic of Ronnie O’ Neal III, is that who you’re gonna want for president come 2024?

@@kobold7763 Yes, I'm voting for Ronnie O'Neal for Prez. We won't have very far to fall, anyway, after Biden is done with us.

dilulio is obviously a man of christian faith. historically christians have had an extra sense of superiority to those who aren't. the label "godless" is fatal

non-godfearing people r more easier to commit a crime. is what i think they meant. but lets not forget religous radicals.

What? That's stupid. Where do you see a wave of crimes committed by atheists?

He's referring to their lack of morality and the beginning of our nations cultural decline.

Red Onion since when are non religious people more likely to commit crime?

Yup.

Don't be a thug if you can't take the slug.

TheCristallo83 it seems like they prefer just to say "inner city" now when being racist

just curious.... how are these related?

Was looking for someone to say this, totally agree.

Accurate 💯

Guess red states are going to see a rise in violence in 18 years.

Yup

cant believe i gotta do i paragraph on this vid for school

It shouldn't be a surprise that when people can avoid having a child when their situation doesn't allow for it, you get fewer issues with youths growing up in bad environments that push them towards crime.

@@RealLargeManTheGiantOne So, the solution is to murder people, born and unborn, when it inconveniences your "situation"?

TheLDG1981 and theh skipped the part were trump was looking for a death sentence to innocent kids he was accusing for murder?

the dark love of yoda and darth vader link me a clip of that on RU-vid.

Trump had his own opinions on the subject and they skipped that as well. Was that “””””convenient””””” too? Nah probably not right! Persecution complexes are annoying.

Right

I hate that these retro reports are so good but come from such a terrible disgusting news source.

because hillary clinton doesnt have anything to do with this story?

What??? Mortal Kombat Postal, Doom ect

🗣🗣🗣

Younger than 11 because by 11 he already had a reputation

@@anahernandez4043 heartbreaking :(

Yes,,,,,,, I would have no problem execution of 16 years old if they commit murder

@@Mohamed-jb9yx or even a 14 year old, okay, you black hearted buzzard!

Zelda Williams Sure I am a black hearted against bad criminals

but crime is not an adult decision. it's something even small children are capable of.

yeah - but not murder

Sup I'm in 2024

probably some kid who they asked hey kid want to be on tv famous huh kid ite cmon

So, you justify baby murder by predicting that your baby is going to grow up to be a super predator? Gottcha.

@@superpredatorsforbiden-har103 they're not justifying anything. But the video should have mentioned the strong correlation between a decrease in young violent offenders and the passing of Roe vs Wade that essentially prevented unwanted babies from being born. The Freakonomics argument about this is actually pretty fascinating.

Probably not. And even if it did, it might not even be statistically significant. Even without a moral panic, those kids would have been jailed for at least a few years, especially in the case of murder. If a 14 year old is jailed 4 years, they'd stop counting in the juvenile crime rate anyway. Moreover, the study suggests that NEW generations of 14-17 year olds would be more violent. But even as the panic was just starting, they were already seeing a decline. So it couldn't have been a direct result of any measures taken by the states.

Bro thinks he's funny

+Goutfoot It has a lot less to do with race. 80% of crime are committed by gangs. The reality is that in gangs currently over 40% are Latino and over 30% are black. whereas 12% is white. The narrative will change once gangs are defeated. Clearly the youth in urban area's have been turning to gangs. That will need to change to change the prison rates. I think we can all help ....but I would agree with most people in saying economically it has been horrible unfair. We need to rebuild the urban communities.

+Craig Beal Gangs used to be white (aka the Gangs of NY movie....) They were white thugs basically. The narrative is not going to change calling people who commit crimes anything other than 'criminals'. I suppose you are just a big Trump supporter, correct?

Yeah the initial opening images almost exclusively showed young Black men, especially when they kept repeating "Super Predators"

I find your comment racist and don't even get me started on your avatar and username, are you even Japanese or are just appropriating Asian culture?

septillion2501 omg?? appropriation of culture doesn't exist you sjw fuckwad.
