But doesn’t it look a little.. idk suspicious for a kid to be roaming the streets in the middle of the night on a school night? Maybe I’m too much of a prude but nothing good happens after midnight.
You're absolutely right. As much as I hate saying it, these boomers reminiscing about the good ol' days don't get how much different it is nowadays, or how not-so-innocent urban neighborhoods are.
I'd never allow my child to roam the streets late at night.
Even in Germany this is pretty much true, the areas that are dangerous to go through at night consistently increases the more immigrants are being shoveled into our country.
As a kid it was mostly safe here, but nowadays I'm hearing more and more about stabbing incidents nearby..
Boomer here. We weren’t carrying guns and running away from cops at 2am. I’d say something about how our parents would have whipped our asses but they would have never permitted things to reach such a level of complete moral bankruptcy to begin with.
A 13 year old kid roaming the streets with a gun. At 2am. And running away from police. I can’t fathom such a thing.
Did you not just read my story? Now, granted, there weren't reports of gunshots where we were, so that is a huge and important difference, but your argument didn't include that detail. You just said he was asking for it by existing outside at a time you designate inappropriate, which I disagree with. But again, we weren't criminals and definitely weren't shooting at cars.
Difference being that Chicago is a constant crime zone in the last year where CHILDREN this kid’s age and under has been shot. Why the heck is he not at home? Where is his mom? We can take an educated guess his dad isn’t at home.
And now he is just another funeral the city is on the hook for and instead of blaming faulty parenting and a culture that thrives on this stupid sh—, people are saying him roaming around at 230am on a darn school night is no big deal.
I don’t care if he didn’t have a gun and really wasn’t doing something wrong. His butt should’ve been in bed.
Oh but I did read your story! Seems full of bs...
Pro tip: when pretending to be an American, don’t use the word Constable. No one in America calls the police “Constable”
Fine fine.

Great job destroying the black family, libs.

^This.
Location, demographics and crime statistics matter a lot.

"Cheerio old bean, we're just heading out go nosh on some bangers and mash. Being American, and all"
Come on down to San Antonio, Texas and see the county constables. https://www.bexar.org/871/Constables
At the time we had no idea what a constable was either, but his car said constable.
