Perhaps accompanied by a liberal and often applied stun gun application.

That warm dry cave up in the Idaho "high country" is getting more attractive by the day.

First we must shrug off the PC astonishment and timidity any time a certain subset of the population is displeased....

I was a teenager 50 years ago. If I had done something like this dad would have kicked my young ass. There would have been no doubt in my mind it was a bad idea and I should not go down that road again.


I was a teenager more than 65 years ago. I can assure everyone here that had I done some of this shit, I would have spent some quality time in a very nice penal institution designed for out of control teenagers! Idaho had a couple of them, and very few of their graduates ever wanted to go back again.

I would advocate vomiting agent but that would hit innocent folks, too. Back to the stun guns.

And start putting parents of these assholes in jail for dereliction of duty in raising their spawn.

A watermelon farmer had the solution when I was a kid. Shotgun loaded with rock salt.

I spent a day and a night walking the Mag Mile, and I loved it. Amazing place. Unfortunate that mobs are ruining it.

And in that you've identified the root problem rather than focusing on the symptoms. Until there are fathers living with these children , teaching and disciplining them as necessary, there is no hope for this sub-subset of American society. Eventually these uncivilized morons are going to overflow into areas where local government and the people living there aren't going to be so unforgiving. That will be the point where the SHTF. And that day is most assuredly coming.

Wyoming does not have the necessary "rich & vibrant" culture.

Here's video of another flash mob...



What do you suppose the difference is? I think it is cultural. Some cultures are selfish and others giving. Not all cultures have equal value.

As a native son of that fine city I can tell you why.

Because the citizens, much less the police, wouldn't allow it to go on.

No feels, no safe spaces, no trigger warnings, no "white privledge," just the unflinching delivery of swift, sure, and severe Justice to those involved.

Now in Laramie or Jackson... who knows what the liberal fruitcakes infesting my home state will tolerate.

There is often video, but it will never see the light of day since The Michigan Ave Association can't afford to have it shown. Many officers have been hurt, some seriously while dealing with these "youths". As an officer that works here, I can tell you firsthand you ARE being targeted. Odds are that regardless what they do, just short of murder, most victims never really pursue charges or if they do, the offender drags out the court process to the point that the victim is unable to keep up with the multiple court appearances. When you fail to show up, they demand trial and poof, the charges are dropped.

The good news is, there is a downward trend of this, due to the fact that the department often reallocates resources for this very problem. Social media is being monitored and this often gives us a clue as to when and how many might be showing up. It is safer than before, but as with anything in life, one has to be aware of their surroundings.


Quick question as the misses wants to take her mom and the little one up soon for a visit, are these mobs sticking to the mag mile or are they straying to Mill park and Navy pier?
