Cost of living is cheaper where I live than in the concrete jungle. Yes, they would be bored here. They are prone to violence and have low morals.

hmmm. this from the person who found it impossible to stretch 3 grand a month? I doubt its more expensive in a 'concrete jungle'. Its not even that expensive where I live which is not in a 'concrete jungle'

and again, it is ignorance to believe a parent chooses to subject kids to violence and drugs just to keep from being bored.

Who is prone to violence and low morals? People who are desperate and struggling and disenfranchised? Yes people in desperate situations can be PRONE to desperate measures, including violence. I agree. But there is no evidence THIS boy was.

I showed you where you miscalculated your math. It left you son with $100 extra a month, not a $1000. Yes these people choose this. These welfare queens are having multiple kids with different dads, in and put of prison, in gangs, drug deals, and theives. These kids have the same DNA as these thug dad's and unambition mom. They don't want to work and have a decent life. Their personalities match mom and dad.

No actually you didnt.

lets recap 3000 per month
pay rent at 900 leaves 2100
pay car note at 250 leaves 1850
buy food at 300 leaves 1550
purchase gas for car at 200 leaves 1350
pay car insurance at 200 leaves 1150
pay electric/gas at 200 leaves 950

so, nearly 1000 a month to spare ...

and DNA does not create values, morals and standards

no one here knows ANYTHING about the dad and all that we know about the mom is she held a JOB

like I said, there is ZERO actual evidence the deceased or their parent didnt want to work or have a 'decent' life, and being an only child, obviously there is no substance behind the stereotyping of this family as 'having multiple kids with multiple dads'

but do tell, the assumptions are revealing alot more about the person making them than the people they are making them about, especially when so easily proven wrong in regards to the person they make them about....

Except you said that $3000 is gross. I had my kids young and I can squeeze a penny. That's how I know it's bs.

The evidence is he was glorifying a gangster life and they did nothing to get him away from it.

My exhusband pays $450 for his mortgage. He makes more than $3000 a month. Anybody could live cheaper here. But it's not as exciting as the ghetto.

I have kids as well. I have no reason to BS. it may be BS for YOUR kid and HIS situation. but I know my kid and HIS situation.

there is no evidence he was doing anything but sitting in a rideshare with someone who had shot out of the car

there is also no evidence of what 'they' did to get him away from it

how was your husbands credit when he got that mortgage? did making more than 3000 a month have any part in his ELIGIBILITY for such a mortgage?

anybody could NOT live cheaper there, because they first have to QUALIFY

and once again, people are living where they can afford. and then amongst what they CAN AFFORD, they choose luxuries like 'being bored'

no one is CHOOSING violence and drugs for the SAKE of not being bored

Ride share to where? Lol

People who are responsible and pay their bills have good credit.

The do choose their life. Claiming they are forced is a cop out.

kids dont choose where they live or what bullies and obstacles they will face. Certain bad choices do force people to have only certain poor options. It is not the same as no option, but it is FORCED by circumstance nonetheless.

and NONE of it an excuse for their kids to become targets of violence, and ESPECIALLY not violence from cops.

He made himself a target when he committed a crime. Nobody forced him. He could have stayed home and watched cartoons lol. Being a thug is who he was. Working and paying bills isn't easy. Riding around acting like a fool was fun until the cops caught them.

cell phone & cable, 200 a month, internet, another 60... Auto insurance, another 100 a month renter or home insurance, life insurance, medical insurance...seems there's a few you forgot

the crime of riding in a ride share? okay.

I actually included auto insurance, he doesnt carry renters insurance, he left a deposit, life and medical are already taken at work. He doesnt use cable. Internet service alone(no phone or cable) and cell MIGHT come to 150.

so no, its still plenty left. and I still know my kids.

I say thank God that the officer in Racine County sherriff's department was not killed or seriously injured.


I like to know why is it open season on cops?

I agree. I dont celebrate any death, cop or civilian. I am always happen when everyone walks away to live another day.

I dont know that its 'open' season on cops. We still have pretty harsh laws and penalties against those who harm or kill them.

earlier I posted a stat that showed an increase on law enforcement assault is on the rise.

yes, I call that open season on the cops, 20 years ago what happened in Racine county would never happen or happen on rare occasion because people had respect for law enforcement

Today it seems not to much, I think body cams are a good idea because it protects the officers against abusive and fraudulent claims and protects the public from less than honourable officers.

100% Agree

I agree. cams are a plus, even though some people can even see it with their own eyes and excuse excessive force.

'assault' is a very general term that can be reported by a cop because someone pushed them. I am more impacted by numbers on actual death or injury.

that is my point, someone pushing a cop? you're not supposed to touch them

This is what Im talking about, nobody except for deranged criminals would talk about pushing a cop, today we are talking about different types of assault.

Times have changed, back then if you lipped off to a cop you got a ticket, a tongue lashing or maybe a few hours to cool off in the clink.

you pushed a cop you would be spending a night in jail and if you punched a cop, his buddies would tune you up as your spending the night in jail possibly facing charges.

back when did mere 'lip' get you a ticket?

I think you still have to actually break a law, and not just hurt a cops feelings or make them feel not 'respected' enough.

cops are supposed to be examples of upholding the law, not being above it...

I should have clarified my fault, I meant when you got pulled over and you lipped off he or she would then write you up and give you a ticket for speeding or whatever traffic laws one violated.
