The culture that raised him - mostly parents but also the community that they were involved in. Just like if you grow up in a family that breeds dogs to fight them you think that is normal and OK - because your moral compass has been irreparably damaged by the people that raised you.
14 I was making forts in the woods and making jumps for jumping my bike and already had a job I blame this on shit parenting by spoiling the kid and not being able to punish kids like used to be able to and a lot of the entertainment industry
No daddy in the child's life if he is he is the same way that is why and how..It is a sad world we are living in.The people always wanna be gangsta till them cuff are on.
It's Cultural. All my black friends who grew up in mostly white hood have careers. All my black friends who grew up in black hoods are dead or in jail.
I wish I knew. I could solve a lot of problems if I did. Back in the 1950's "they" said rock and roll was the root of all teen delinquency. Back in the 1950's most homes had two parents. Kids got into trouble but very few like this. A stable two parent home gives all kids a better chance in life. Mr. Shotelco lists a slew of African Countries with half the violent crime of the US. I wonder what the stats are for single parent homes are there. I can speak some of Morocco. I have visited there, Stayed in the homes of Moroccans. Finer people I have never met. Muslim to there soul. Offered to take us to the Catholic church for Christmas. Took about a week before we could sleep through morning call to prayer. One of the families we stayed with was headed by a single mom. Her husband deserted her. Took everything. Left her and his children on the street. However, her family stepped up and took care of them. They were not going to let the children do without. They were not going to be criminals. The family circled the wagons. So I guess there are exceptions to everything. I think I will hang my hat on a nuclear family.
@@shotelco In general. We both have strong opinions. We both use our knowledge, training and experience to put fort our opinions. We are about the same age. I believe I got you by a few years. Few other odds and ends.
Cause 14 is an adult, I was joy riding at age 9 with 3 thick telephone books to sit on😂 by 14 we already had 5 years driving experience racing each other playing cops robbers or cowboys and Indians with our cars and airsoft or paintball guns
Was This video presentation specifically created to trigger me? FACTS First: "A staggering 90% of movies, 68% of video games, and 70% of TV shows depict violence (specifically "ballistic weapon" violence), with over 6,000 hours of exposure. Children who spend an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes using media each day are more likely to experience mental _severe_ health issues." The excess of violent responses - specifically among Males - amounts to the residue of a culture that began with violence, grew with violence, and will always remain of violence. Meaning, it’s so deeply embedded within our daily lives, it is accepted and legitimized by _this_ society. By the age of 14?? C'mon. Get real. American Culture _Manufactures_ Sociopaths by the1,000's daily. Preemptive challenge: Let's not blame the "Black" community. What? It's the parents some will say - and even now the Criminal Justice Industrial Complex is persecuting parents? No "home training"? That's a ridiculous concept on its face in America. America was founded by _Criminals._ No hyperbole. Literally, Europe sent its criminals to America because they ran out of prison space. These "founding fathers" institutionalized violence, from the mass deletion of the indigenous, to the slow execution by forced slavery of Africans. What does anyone expect when the subjugated Caste finds _Dignity_ in violent behavior? Many of "us" need to take our broke-down, ain't been nowhere, don't know nothin' else - don't wanna' know nothin' else, dusty asses on a trip someplace outside of North America...where Humans actually exist. The following _AFRICAN_ Nations have a violent crime rate that is HALF or less of what the U.S. is...: Benin (Africa) Tunisia Mozambique Liberia Tunisia Mauritius Rwanda Egypt Ghana Malawi Morocco Cameroon Algeria Burkina Faso Senegal Madagascar, and Ivory Coast These African Nations pale in comparison to many SE Asian nations with respect to violent crime. So 8 or 80, blind, crippled or crazy - it don't matter in America. The society glorifies Violence, dictates that Men _Choose_ violence as solution of FIRST resort, and grooms young Men into violent behavior. Oh, and you can't have it both ways Bro Gatewood. You can't say in one video that "This ain't 60 years ago", and then in the next video say "what was you doin' 60 years ago?"
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a damn minute! (Respectfully, of course) You are too damn far ahead of schedule on this! Brother, this was not made to trigger you. If I wanted to do that, I would talk about how great the United States of America has been for "black" people. However, I'd be lying out my teeth, and that's something I don't do. This video asks two simple questions. I have not given my opinion, nor have I blamed anyone yet. (It's coming, though!) Facts first: I was going to quote the FACT that violence can be seen in any media produced by this country, although I would not have included the stats. Another fact is that violent imagery features younger people than it did yesteryear. Another fact is that black people are influenced by black people, so yes, we play a role in our own destruction. Now please have a seat, try and relax, and wait on the next video. Thank you.
And one more thing. Please keep my arguments in the context of which they belong. My saying that this type of division shown between black men and women was not present 60 years ago pertains to just that. No other subject. I obviously wasn't alive 60 years ago, but I know that if something wasn't present 30 years ago, it wasn't 60 either.
@@realityisundefeated Okay, okay. Excuse my outburst, you know how "we" can fly off the handle. I'll sit back down in the pew and await the end of the sermon. BTW, I was 14 almost 52 years ago. And I did see exactly what the young Prince in the video did... _Except_ for the assault rifle part. One of the boys - 16 years old - in my old 'Hood, his name was Terrence, was getting pulled over by LAPD in his 1970 Maroon Dodge Charger. Another homie, Lloyd, was with him in the passenger seat. For some reason, Terrence said "They gotta run for my license!", and took off. The chase was on. One-Adam 12 was in pursuit. I forgot how it ended, but cops surrounded the Charger with gauges pointed. Luckily no one was hurt...or shot. As everyone knows, L.A. is the police car chase capital, which too is live entertainment. We knew there was a chase going on when the LAPD helicopter would fly in a straight line with its Night-Sun on. It wasn't uncommon. I don't recall much in the 60's, but then that was a time of civil unrest due - in part - to society sanctioned police brutality.
The Mama fault the Mama fault the Mama fault.
The race’s fault the race’s fault the race’s fault. 60%+ of violent crime. Hold your own accountable.
should not have stepped out with the gun in hand like that he lucky to be alive

Damn he didn't want to get shot. That's a good man

Morocco? Did you say Morocco? You and I have far more in common than we thought.
@@shotelco I knew that before.
@@juliewoods6534 With respect to Morocco, or just in general?

No Nuclear Family to teach and guide.
When I was 14 I just wanted to chase skirts and smoke some herb. But that was back in the 80s.

He played too much GTA
That was the first thing that came to mind
Stayed in school til they released me from the cage lol :)
