Weird how many pro athletes seem to be getting robbed lately

 

[FLSeahawk]

I just saw. That’s crazy. Hopefully they catch them

 

[therealjohncarlson]

Ok which one of you knuckleheads was this?

 

[chris98251]

Probably thinking moving back to Oakland is safer now., Glad everyone is OK .

 

[jammerhawk]

Richard Sherman is originally from Compton not Oakland. Beast Mode is from Oakland.

 

[DeSeahawk]

These a-holes are friggin brazen anymore. Seems like they have no fear of doing whatever they want to who ever they want. That really needs to change.

Really glad Sherm's family is ok.

 

[Shane Falco]

Wow. At gunpoint while his family was home. That's messed up.

 

[WmHBonney]

Sherm had a thread on X. From some of the responses, it seems that this crew has been very busy....

My girl and I watch true crime shows all the time. We’ve gotten to the point where we feel we would be pretty damn good intern detectives lol. It’s entirely scary how many bad people there are out there. Crime is ubiquitous, period. The brazenness of these punks has no end. So many are so young too.

Not to get too philosophical but there’s clearly a fundamental breakdown in our society, especially the family unit, that is creating such a toxic separation from doing good things and doing bad things.

Graphic violence desensitizing via video games, movies, et al. Morality decay, it’s shocking to me how far South we have gone as a culture and species even.

No easy fix. Just a sad testament of our society at the moment.

A sad testament which is your misguided opinion, but not backed by facts. Since 1990 violent crime has pretty much been on a downtrend.

What the data says about crime in the U.S.

Federal statistics show dramatic declines in U.S. violent and property crime rates since the early 1990s.

I started studying the causes and consequences of incarceration for the Open Philanthropy Project. The subject is full of mysteries. Here's one. As best we can measure, the US crime rate rose from the mid-1960s to the early 1990s and then reversed: (Following FBI definitions, this graph is of...

And it is pretty well known that poverty is one of the greatest drivers of crime.

I thought they blamed all the bad stuff on Yosemite Sam?

I guess what you are saying is I watch too much TV. Got it.

Your right, it started with the lack of two parents and both parents in the work place and not any at home, kids latch key, baby sat with a Nintendo or Sega or Atari system killing stuff and not developing social skills and respect by peer pressure or guidance from parents for others and their property. Numbed to empathy for others, personal space, etc. That's on us Boomers, our society's demands to keep up with the Jone's after the WW ii ERA, was all good till the women's right movement, two people working gave corporations the idea we can raise prices since they can afford it. Kids suffered and we lost family, neighborhood, and social dynamics. Throw in population explosion and people are a lot more chippier about things as well, can only shove so many sardines in a can. Once that started it was race to keep up and kids were left behind, add in everyone's special and trophy for participation and the monster had been created as those things expanded to Gen X Gen Y Gen Z and Millennials, they reasons are every parents want, for our kids to have it better then us, but what it created was what we have today.

 

[Appyhawk]

Over the past year+ there has been a sequence of robberies targeting NFL players. Factor that one by itself.

And add in, everything is fought with guns these days. I was reading a news article's comments the other day from yet another news story involving gun fights and I read so many things like, "Back in the 70's and 80's when I was growing up, the worst that would happen at a party is a fist fight. Now everything seems to need to be resolved with gun fire."

It's totally true. We have created a culture where kids look at guns like we used to look at fists.

We are raising sociopaths.

The police have been told to go easy on certain crimes, and people get citations for things that used to land you in jail, in a trial, and sentenced for serious time. We are harder on drunk drivers than gang bangers.

Well more two parents at home also, when there was a disagreement in the neighborhood dad walked you down or vice versa and they said if it's that important then is it worth fighting for, if yes they had the two go at it, resolved with a winner and shake hands after. Standing up for your beliefs, respecting each other, resolving, and respect afterwards. But it was just two, not 10 on one.

Sports figures are the ideal target; they have vast wealth, and their itineraries are posted for all to see months in advance. Gives the bad guys plenty of time to plan.

In a way you're right. The internet and social media has increased our exposure to what goes on the world a ton. For example, if I hadn't seen this thread on this site I would not even have known this happened to Sherman.
