Instead, they got a bunch of angry teens whose parents let them have a cell phone too young, and never taught their kids self-respect, who allowed the mob mentality to rule their day. |

You don't hear too much about how their parents should've taught them to respect women, respect themselves, respect civilization and humanity. You'll hear it from me though. I acted out plenty when I was a kid. But I never participated in a riot. My parents instilled too much self-respect and respect of other peoples' property and respect of the human race as a whole, to participate in a riot. |

The problem with blaming parents is the logical assumption that criminals all have bad parenting. The justice system in many instances is doing just that by lowering or eliminating sentences because criminals are a victim of upbringing be it parents and/or dysfunctional social environment. It creates its own environment where nearly everyone else including crime victims are accountable (including law enforcement) and have to accept the consequences with less than sincere apologies from society. Since consequences are being set low, so is the deterrent to committing crime. Motivation to commit crime typically moves counterpoint to consequences. Speeding or jaywalking vs drunk driving or assaults are typical good examples. Mob crimes are occurring more often now exactly because they make any accountability to individual criminals difficult even if a parent or social media platform is responsible. |

I would add that as long as citizens do not hold authority accountable for protecting them by deterring crime, we appear to condone it hence the many ideologues and demagogues blaming each other. |

Unfortunately, use of gas teams is almost impossible. Back in the day special operations teams were available 24 hrs a day and had large tanks of gas readily available. They could be called up by a deputy chief and arrive on scene within minutes. What a sight, to clear a corner after a good blast from gas team. Now a gas team is a swat team that does not have gas available. It needs to be authorized by the superintendent or his designated subordinate. That will not happen. The real problem in Chicago is that if you manage to catch and arrest someone, they get charges dropped at court. What a waste.

Police are “dammed” if they don’t use tear gas and “dammed” if they do. An obvious no win situation.

Sad but true, unfortunately history only seems to give you the choice of supporting the faction you think will do the least damage
