wow does it seriously matter if they are black? They are still kids. If they are black the only thing you can do is scrutinize a stereotype, the solutions would be the same for any race.

They advertise for Government assisted cellphone plans down here all the time--so it's not only the affluent that has them.

Cut their parents welfare checks as punishment and ban them from owning a cellphone and computer for life.
Ha, i like how you slipped that in there. I don't know many people on welfare using cell phones and facebook to flashmob places. I do know plenty of "afluent" kids who run rioting into the night.
Those london riots are mostly poor kids. What we're seeing back here are anything but poor. I'm not falling for it, and I'm not going to blame it on the "welfare queens".
I do agree the problem lies at home, just probably not in the homes you'd expect.
And what a way to prevent a Presidential Election.

It's not the principle that they're black. It's the principle, black American culture is killing them. That is what is killing these kids. When I was a real little kid, I've never in my life thought about making a flash mob and robbing somebody.

What part of the culture is it then? IMO its a trend that caught on, that blacks so happened to be apart of. When you were a kid did you ever think of robbing anyone alone? This is just a new idea that is getting ground that resonates with any group mentality. Inner cities are just the kind of place where a dense group of blacks are more prone to contribute to this kind of mess.
