Philly mayor blasts teens and parents

KFI640  “Parents who neglect their children, who don’t know where they are, who don‘t know what they’re doing...you’re going to find yourself spending some quality time with your kids in jail.”

‘You’ve Damaged Your Own Race’: Philly Mayor Blasts Teens, Flash Mobs  "Nutter, who is African American, targeted so-called flash mobs of black youths who’ve been caught on video attacking people in downtown Philadelphia. “If you want…anybody else to respect you and not be afraid when they see you walking down the street,” he said from the pulpit at Mount Carmel Baptist Church, “then leave the innocent people who are walking down the street minding their own damn business. Leave them alone.” "
Hat tip to Jerry Bentley, Lompoc, Ca.

I suggest to you that Maxine Waters and like-minded colleagues would have said she understood the youth's anger and shared it. She might say the youths were in "rebellion".  Sorry, but I will never forget Reginald Denny. TD
