How about we hold the parents of these nasty rioters accountable?

    Normally, I wouldn't say this, as children are subject to many more influences than just the parents. However, these aren't normal times. About all of them who have been arrested are under 30.

    After all, they DID raise them. And I have a feeling a lot of these spoiled little brats are still under their parents' thumbs, if only the parents would "grow a pair." Cut off their allowances. Especially cut off their tuition. Make your feelings known to them. Quit being proud of them no matter what they do. LET THEM KNOW YOUR LOVE IS CONDITIONAL.

    So, how about we publish the parents' photos whenever and wherever we can? Publish their names. Talk about them. Embarrass them, as they should be. Maybe they would take whatever control they can. Fair? Of course not. But it might be a way to stop the violence.

    There is a very old barn out in the orange groves, there is an old sign on it informing parents they will be liable for any damage their kids do.

    Perhaps you could have folk in Brown Shirts going around the parents and kicking in the doors with their shiny jackboots?

    I have actually thought for quite some time that if parents were allowed to raise their children as they see fit (not abuse of course, but government keep the hell out of it) and then hold the parents accountable for what their child does, we wouldn't have nearly as many problems with delinquency. If dad spent a couple of nights in jail after junior stole a car, you can bet he wouldn't be stealing a second one.

    Is brown shirts a right wing extremist group? There are so few of them around that they are hard to find, aren't they?

    You don't know the history? That's of course the nature of the right. They are doomed to cheer the same horrific errors...

    Weird comment too, as we know most terrorism in the US are from right wing groups.

    One of the protestors run over by a car in Seattle was in her 40's. A lot of the protestors are well beyond their teen age years.

    Actually the protesters are rioting, getting arrested by the beleaguered police and local politicians demand their release the next day. And ...they show up and riot again. Parents are beyond the issue. Simple law and order and consequences is what they need.

    Do you also support reparations or does this narrative only go one way?

    Holding parents accountable for their adult child is just inane.

    Perhaps liberals could learn to be actual parents. Role models and not bad examples. Thus far, they fail miserably, producing a generation of spoiled brats and snivelers as seen in Seattle and the sorry state of Minnesota.

    Collective punishment is wrong. We long ago abandoned it as a legitimate function of justice (or at least we were supposed to).

    These people know what they are doing and are beyond the influence of their parents.

    Leave the parents out of it and jack up the punishment for those committing crimes.

    Build some gulag's out in the desert and throw them in there for 10 years, if they manage to survive they can get another shot at living in society.

    I can't think of a good reason to dox the parents. It just feeds the lefties cancel culture. So why engage in it? I agree though that the parents of said protesting children clearly failed in establishing a sense of the big picture though. If you think about it, what these kids are really protesting about is inclusion. They seem to feel frustrated that all of their self imposed isolation has a cost, and it is their feeling of social inadequacy that is percolating out into the streets. I'm sure there are some well meaning ideologues out there, but the chance to "be part of something big" seems to be the incentive that these kids are flocking to without actually putting much, if any thought, about why they are joining this one.

    Or how about we just hold the people who actually rioted accountable. Sure, maybe the parents of these kids didn't do the best job in teaching their kids how to be normal human beings but these "kids" are grown adults and need to be held accountable for their own actions.

    Have the authorities done any work to determine the average age of the cops beating the protesters with clubs or spraying them in the face with pepper spray?

    Many states make it possible to sue parents of minor children who do bad things. But not adult children.

    The movement to ingrain irresponsibility and dumb-thinl started with kids born to hippies- a movement towards peace, love, sex and drugs in the 60's Some of the offspring of that mentality are 60 years old now.
    Some of them grew up- but most all of them had a mental foundation equivalent to mud, so a great many of them never will.

    And yet the left uses embarrassing people, ruining their reputations, etc. all the time. Perhaps it's time to beat them at their own game?? You are right though, I guess why stoop to their level?

    Yes! I bet 90% of the protesters have no idea what they are protesting about. If they considered their own experience instead of adopting what someone else claims their experience was, they wouldn't be out there. I'm willing to bet that the majority have never had a negative experience with the police. It is possible also that these are not the brightest kids who ever lived. Maybe consideration must be given to that, but, again, why don't their parents get involved then?

    Hhmmm. There's a thought. I think this is an emergency and emergency measures need to be taken to curb it. So I would say no, that we can deal with this in any manner that works without lumping everything else in with it.

    Oh, an "emergency".... ;) ;) …..so the responsibility for any crimes anyone else commits don't fall on parent's shoulders???

    Only in this case? Why are these "crimes" so "special" to you?

    I would be bewildered by your total lack of reasoning and logic but I know what you are really saying.....

    I question any allegation that says the riots and the death of a man during an arrest constitute the entire case here. I think it's a very small factor- the excuse to throw a riot and invite all the misfits of society to party for the "cause". The real cause- as one protestor said "it's fun to tear sh*t up!"

    Too bad she didn't stay home that night. Old people standing on a freeway at night = bad things can happen.
