Silly you...”teens” was used in the earlier altercation in Georgetown. See, we now have TWO descriptive words.

Not modern ones, at any rate.

(Centuries ago, that consortium of churches had bad problems, which played into the racial debacle that still haunts us today.)

The incident comes after a group of merchants in Georgetown ended its use of a private messaging service that many retailers, residents and police officers had used to talk about people they thought were suspicious. There were concerns that the service was being used to racially profile people.

Yes, of course. Ever spend a Halloween evening on the streets of G'Town? I don't know about it today, but in the 1990's, every ghetto rat came to M & Wisconsin to cause mayhem.

Celine Dion on Larry King - Incoherent Rambling

September, 2005

"Oh, they're stealing 20 pair of jeans or they're stealing television sets.
Who cares? They're not going to go too far with it.
Maybe those people are so poor, some of the people who do that they're so poor
they've never touched anything in their lives.
Let them touch those things for once."

We had this in NYC back during the Dinkins' mayoralty.

One security guard can't stop a mob of 20 people, and 20 knapsacks can empty a boutique store's floor inventory in about 5 minutes.

There's many more cameras today.

The best thing an employee could do would be to film as many of them as possible with a high resolution smartphone and upload it before they think to steal the phone too.

I believe it’s seen as a kind of vengeance, on behalf of a people group that has been encouraged from many quarters to never look for something beyond being aggrieved for aye.

The devil, of course, is calling this dance.

Until America as a whole calls God back into its midst (and God is prepared to be quite kind, having already arranged for the bearing of our sins Himself) then, well, America won’t even BE a whole. It will be balkanized worse and worse.

It’s easy to be generous with other people’s resources. Not so easy with one’s own. A level of faith is needed to do the latter. Only the wish to project a do-gooder image is needed to do the former.

The store was totally cleaned out of black trousers, suspenders, and hats.

If they won’t touch God, it’s all in vain.
