    7-11's are franchises, though, aren't they? So they wouldn't have to take part if their licensee refused to. Oh well.

    Gawd, no I dont mean you Wog. Hmmm' Christians in Alaska that criticize you for selling firearms? Well I lived from Anchorage to eagle river (the burb of anchorage some call it ha ha) to Tok to the Kenai peninsula to well that's about it..yep I was a cheechako. Anyway I have never seen a Christian there or here in Hatfield and McCoy land (East TN) disrespect gun owners or sellers!

    That said I do not agree with either opinion of you two. A kid unless he has a IQ of 69 or a mental disorder will be a good child if reared correctly! The time a child needs its parents to spend a lot of time desperately for the first eight years of life. The first five are especially important! God knows what is best and that is a traditional family unit. However I am not so naive to think that bad things dont happen to good people. If the crappola' hits the fan oftentimes a single parent family unit emerges. I respect a single mom or dad very highly! Extremely so, because it would be so easy to cut and run.

    Anyway the parents are at LEAST 80% responsible of how a child turns out. Anyway God bless this forum and its members ~ Shalom.

    Some are franchises, some are corporate-owned.

    S
    7-11 does it every year and in most places it's not a problem.

    But in violent cities like Baltimore the black youth target these
    stores owned by non-blacks(99%) and take advantage of the situation.

    This kind of thing is happening alot now in other city stores.

    What is ridiculous is that 'teens' and other younger delinquents are constantly 'protected' from any of the decisions THEY MAKE, without regard to the real world consequences they might involve. For the love of God, its like liberals will defend anything if it means a vote in a few years...

    I wouldn't expect that an act of kindness and good will would be disrespected, no. The usual response is thanks and appreciation, not shoplifting and theft. After all, people are getting something for free.

    Do you always jump to hyperbole? I hate these types of arguments.

    I don't think we should be allowed to drive 110. Oh, so we should only go 5 miles, an hour? So that's what you're saying???

    I said that parents need to be hands on, work with their children to create happy, healthy, well-adjusted kids. Those that don't do this should be punished along with their children. Why do you think it's fair that the kids should be the only ones being punished? Aren't they a product of their environment? Why should I be punished, too? Why do I get to foot the bill for kids that I didn't help screw up?

    You don't have to beat your kids to create good children. I'm sorry that you think so.

    FINALLY! Somebody said what I've suspected all along. Not only was Trayvon Martin a young, impressionable, potential voting Democrat. He and George Zimmerman were actually planted by the CIA to help get the Democrat race war started. Of course, one of them would have had to take the fall; better make sure to arm the lighter-skinned one for this mission! Insert the CIA's NBPP branch to stoke the fires down in Sanford, circulate the CIA's cash around the 'hoods to get the flash mobs going, enact a media blackout to keep the rest of the country in the dark about the black problem, and there you go! The perfect recipe for a race war. With a couple of black stooges in Obama and Holder in the perfect official government positions to help make it all happen! :mrgreen:

    7-Eleven melee downtown results in no student charges


    Incident described as "chaotic," but no arrests will be made


    By Peter Hermann, The Baltimore Sun
    5:31 p.m. EDT, June 8, 2012

    Prosecutors have declined to file charges against any of the youths who police said were part of two mobs that stole candy and assaulted the owner of a downtown Baltimore convenience store during a free Slurpee promotion last month.

    The decision, announced by a spokesman for the city state's attorney's office, comes despite video from two surveillance cameras — one inside the 7-Eleven, another outside — that police said at the time "shows exactly what the kids did."


    Mark Cheshire, the spokesman for State's Attorney Gregg L. Bernstein, said, "We have reviewed all the evidence that the police gathered in their investigation, including the video footage, and have determined that criminal charges are not appropriate."

    He added, "It is apparent that multiple people, including both juveniles and adults, were involved in a chaotic situation. But not every conflict warrants criminal charges." Cheshire said there is "insufficient evidence" to prove youths shoplifted candy from the shelves.

    Salman Iqbal, 32, the owner of the 7-Eleven on Light Street, a few blocks north of the Inner Harbor, could not be reached for comment Friday morning. A spokeswoman for the convenience store chain did not respond to inquiries.

    The attack at the store came amid a debate over downtown crime and safety, and after reports were published detailing a disturbance onSt. Patrick's Dayin which hundreds of youths fought for hours on streets near the harbor.

    Police said 35 to 40 youths converged on the 7-Eleven on May 23, about 11:30 a.m., to get free Slurpees. As workers served them, police said a second group of youths came in and started to take candy from the shelves.

    A police report says the owner tried to stop the suspected thieves from leaving but they got out before he blocked the door. Police said that prevented the first group of youths, who had gotten their free drinks, from leaving.

    They became angry and pushed their way past Iqbal, who reported being hit in the arms and neck, and punched once in the mouth. Police said in May that surveillance video shows the attack and the punch, and that the youths were identified by their uniforms as being students from Mergenthaler Vocational-Technical Senior High School in Northeast Baltimore.

    During the fracas, Iqbal reported to police, an envelope containing $6,600 of the store's money disappeared from his pocket. But police said the video did not show any youth reaching into his pocket.

    It's unclear whether the money is still missing.

    Listen, there's only one way to keep these flash mobs from terrorizing stores. Just post a big sign on the door that says "job applications available". These mobs will avoid the store like the plague

    LOL! I did read a comment that there have been no flash mob attacks at employment centers or work boot stores.

    This will make me sound old, but ... what kind of kids are we raising today where shoplifting and harassing a store owner is a fun night out?

    "we" aren't raising these types of kids......a 7-11 in my neighborhood could certainly have a free slurpee day and nothing like this would happen. There's a certain segment of the population that is "raising" this type of "child".......You guessed it.....the Amish!

    Typical "progressive" reaction.....its not the little "children's" fault....its not their "parent's" fault......its the business' fault! Wow.....wonder why a 7-11 in my neighborhood would have no problems with a free slurpee day......must be the geography.....or maybe its our weather......I know I'll be able to come up with a reason....just give me time.....LMAO at the silliness.

    In Baltimore the parents don't care what their kids are doing.

    This kind of thing happens a lot more than is being reported.

    Baltimore Maryland is a good place for an outsider to get mugged or killed.

    Now we hear a more rational story.

    The store owner was NOT "beaten", he was pushed and punched ONCE as he tried to block customers, NONE of whom appear to steal anything, inside his store.

    Oddly, he decides to carry $6000 in cash in his pocket at a time when he KNOWS when his store will be jammed by kids getting free Slurpees, rather than keeping the money in the safe.

    And the $6000 mysteriously "disappears" from his pocket despite the video!

    It sounds like the police had some trouble with this guy's story, and so do I.

    Except most of the kids in this case are PAYING to go to a technical school to better themselves.

    How sad they do not ALL fall to your expectations.
