I bet their parents think they're all good kids too.

It's not new, it's been around for a while now.

Also known as "Point em out, Knock em out"

Next thing the OP will be stunned to find out that gangs of "youth" have been mobbing places and attacking random people and that the news media hasn't made a major issue out of it.

"Teens" has more or less become a euphemism at this point.

I've seen worse in Korea when foreigners get attacked for simply walking down the street.

You think they come from two parent households? I highly doubt that. By and large, they are the offspring of people who shouldn't be reproducing. That's why I'm against welfare payments. (The intentions are good, but they lead to unexpected negative consequences.) In South Korea, only 1.5% of kids are born to single mothers. For black kids in the U.S., it is 73%. Can you see that figure is about 50 times as high? South Korea rules because there is no public housing, food stamps, free healthcare, and other benefits for poor people. People who are not capable of raising children do not pop out kids over here.

I apologize. I should have said "I bet their mothers think they're all good kids too."

I can't wait for the video showing the guy who gets hit but doesn't get knocked out. He then pulls out a 9mm and mercilessly caps each and every one of them "teens".

They're all too busy enjoying the Milwaukee Zoo, you see.

That's not actually a joke: Madison (our capital city) is around 7%ish Black (which in and of itself is high for a Wisconsin city), but then you look at Milwaukee and it's roughly 40% Black.
