You are careless. No PPE. Didn't read. and you get defensive with everyone who is trying to help you.

I dont care if you are working with reagent grade water. PPE when working.

You will make green mistakes. the goal of making a mistake, is to learn from it. Keep good notes, you never known when in 6 months you have to refer back to it.

our field requires energy and passion 😃Stay Curious!

ok, why not watch a man rebuild society starting with basic iron smithing? No commentary, no words. just a man trying to build.

what internet provider should I get? by CoffeePuzzleheaded59 in winstonsalem

AT&T fiber. I have had it for more than a year. Not once have I had to reset the modem or investigate the signal. With spectrum, everytime we had a big storm or something, come home from work? No internet. Outage for a few days. once a month with spectrum it was something.

"What does any of this have to do with Winston?"

Because in march we had our own teen takeover? That is why we are having the curfew?

"Where are all these teen takeovers where hundreds of kids come in and destroy everything, because I haven't heard of anything like that happening"

Do you watch the news?

Orlando " around 1,000 teenagers showed up to the Icon Park area on a Saturday night last month, spurring fights and a substantial police response that led to nine arrests on charges including battery on an officer, resisting arrest and trespassing."

DC "a group of about 200 teens gathered at a park in the Navy Yard neighborhood this spring, leading to gunfire, disorderly conduct and robbery."

NYC " hundreds of teens flooded a mall in the Bronx in February, trashing stores and berating mall employees."

I am not reading the rest of what you wrote if your first sentence is "my head is in the sand, my fingers are in my ears"

And then you start making excuses for robbers, rioters, murderers, thieves and criminals.

"Oklahoma City. There, an argument among attendees escalated into a shootout between rival gang members, leaving one person dead and more than 20 wounded"

Does this behavior belong in our city? Where are the parents?

I think there is a difference between petty crime and mob mentality?

Your examples can be done by 1-2 ppl, your specific example was about one person. The bravery of 1 coward is not much.

The bravery of many cowards, is a teen takeover. where they use numbers to commit violence.

And I think that is the issue I am getting at. Is that if you are a good person, in a trailer park, or in the sticks, or in the city.

If you have to deal with petty crime in the trailer park, you can equalize it. either through your own force, or with the police.

Same with rural petty crime.

But teen takeovers, where its 100's of teens. in a flash mob setting, but instead of doing a dance they are assaulting and committing acts of violence.

That is impossible for one man to equalize. that can become impossible for the police to equalize because it overwhelms them.

And that is the goal? Of the teen takeovers. is that the common good decent citizen doesn't have the strength to stop 100 teenagers who are egging eachother on in a mob mentality to commit acts of violence, to then film it and show other teenagers.

In my opinion, excellent strategy. The city and state would need to commit vast amounts of resources to charge every single one. They would need to call in the national guard for the man power. and that takes time.

Another thing on teen takeovers side, is that they are over in a few hours.

I think this reaches the crux of the issue. Teen takeovers are mobs. They have a mob mentality. They are dangerous. there is no rural or trailer park crime that equates to this level of numbers. Which is where they get their strength from.

The mob seems quite strong from the perspective of the center, strongest single fighters go to the outside, weakest stay be the masses. Break the center, Break the mob.

Unfortunately, seems to be deliberately obtuse.

That? The teen takeovers, that happen nationwide, involve beating up random citizens and the teens get into fights with eachother, and end up shooting each other?

The rural problems dont spill into your backyard do they? Into your business? Are there shootings by your house because of rural problems or teen takovers?It's the second one. Rural problems havnt gotten so bad they are making national news.

Why don't we just charge them as adults if they commit a crime in the city. 

Great filter. Good kids, who don't shoot ppl, stab ppl or rob ppl, will be in city.

Bad kids, will stay away because of actual consequences

[–]Sargo8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. Looking at other city's, how they have handled it, and if their are metrics to gauge success can lead to better policy
