I hail from Chicago, right from that neighborhood (79th & Maryland to be exact). These little snots had it coming. My mother told me about the days where if you were caught doing something wrong in the neighborhood by the neighbor- the neighbor had the right whip that ***. Then report you to the parents where they whipped your ***. Now, if you even blink the wrong way at a child you are going to jail.
Corporal punishment is frowned upon and downright illegal, because a few have abused it. Children can simply accuse abuse and the parents go to jail- generally speaking. Yet, they grow up with no respect for their lives nor others in many cases.
Sad thing is if we had a mature society where the neighborhood watched and cared for each other, these little tyrants wouldn't be allowed to throw a brick into a senior citizen's chest, let alone get shot for doing it. Talk about Clockwork Orange. We've abandon each for safety.
