Mom turns in son for beating and robbing elderly veteran

[Jerchap2]

I wasn't sure whether to post this is self-defense & carry issues, or where exactly, so I put it here. 18-year-old beats and robs elderly vet. Brings back a group of younger teens, the vet did not put up a fight, takes guns, ammo, other stuff. Surveillance video shown in TV, woman recognizes her son (the 18-y-o), and turns him in. Tough decision, but parents have to do the right thing, IMHO.

The people have turned away from religion.

The nuclear family is a thing of the past.

Young male unemployment is epidemic.

That's the politically correct way to put it.

The only thing that has merit, is the last one.

Yes, because a tradition of moral behavior and an intact family have never been shown to produce decent human beings.

Morality is hardly confined to religious beliefs.

I really didn't mean for it to spiral out of control... I think we can tell where each of you stand.

No it is not, but for the last few hundred years, that has been its source in America and nothing has stepped in to replace it.

Just saying

There is no discipline inside the home, so these boys (and girls) are going to the streets with no real upbringing, morals, respect, so they think they can do as they wish. It ends usually one of two ways... Either stories like this where they beat the hell out of some elderly person, or like Trayvon...

So glad the mother intervened and turned the little puke in. Too bad she didnt throw some discipline at him years ago.
