We've Got An Epidemic Going On

A couple of weeks back I posted about an Escalade in my neighborhood having its wheels stolen. A couple of days later someone mailed me a picture of the same thing happening in Haslet.

Anyway, I'm in Dallas yesterday, look up, and see this.

Probably some insurance fraud mixed in with all this.

Guess what, there really are people in the world who have no conscience or scruples and will steal anything they feel like they can get away with. I can't even imagine caring so little about the difference between right and wrong. How do you teach a kid the difference between right and wrong? I believe that my parents would have thrown me right under the criminal justice bus if I had stooped to criminal behavior. Now, parents are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure their children suffer no consequences for their actions no matter how egregious. Am I wrong? Sometimes really good, caring parents are going to have a kid go bad anyway, but I think the vast percentage of criminals are the result of bad parents or no parents.

This afternoon,I was headed north on I-35 near the Belknap overpass and I saw a black women on a cell phone walking away from a relatively new suburban that had four floor jacks under it and all the rims and tires missing.

All I could think of was what were the chances of getting flats on all four tires at once.

Good thing she had four jacks in the trunk huh!

I agree with you bonemeal.

Respect is a dirty word anymore. Confronting a kid about bad behavior takes time and energy from parents and many of them are so busy and tired from making a living they just let the kids do whatever.

And society pays the price.

Elect Hillary. She's gonna fix everything.

Are they all white Cadillac Escallades that get their rims taken?

I blame the Democrats.

It's because of NASCAR. The boys think it's a sport removing all 4 wheels in less than 30 seconds. Besides, even if they get caught, this "crime" gets only a slap probation (usually for juveniles) anyway. These wheels are just some easy meth money waiting to be collected.

So 11:08, was this "black woman" with the cell phone carrying 4 rims and tires on her back???

It looked like she had them stuffed in her shirt and under her dress.
