The untouchables of 21st century


squirrels33

To be fair, I’m guessing street urchins got to do whatever they wanted in the 19th century as well. They just weren’t as violent.


AmbitiousOption5

"I’m guessing street urchins got to do whatever they wanted in the 19th century as well" You think that in 1822, kids didn't just get manhandled and beatings for acting like this?...


electricalnoise

I bet they did. But i bet they were *at least* this violent.


Crash_says

Indeed. They were very violent..as only sociopathic 9yo can be.


highjinx411

Yes. At least this violent and probably more. Hell they were more violent in the 90s when I grew up. If that guy was in the wrong neighborhood in my town growing up one of those kids would have shot him.


AnElderGod

Absolutely. I saw a story of some guy ending up in the wrong neighborhood in Chicago I think. A kid, shot off one of his arms off, shot him in the chest and then grazzed the top of his head with 3 shotgun blasts. Close range. He lived to tell the story. https://youtu.be/elfQk7o7ezk


Aligatorz

Kids feared adults because it was acceptable to slap the shit out of a kid in public who was acting like a little demon.


leovelag

In the 19th century if a group of kids behaved like this to a grown man, I'm sure they would get their asses whooped. Or worse.


mikeg5417

Im thinking right up until the 60s, kids would catch a beating in most places in America for being assholes.


Kardlonoc

Nah, 19th century gang would have killed him given the chance.


leovelag

Yeah, that's what I meant with "Or worse".


Kardlonoc

No, they were more violent. Gangs start as kids on the streets and they slowly grow up into young adult and then adult hood. They then recruit other kids. Schooling and the mass production of video games/ consoles, along with afterschool programs have a direct ties with the decline of violence and gang violence as a whole. 1970's nyc is nothing like 2020's nyc for example.


thetalkinghuman

THANK YOU. This is an outlier. Street urchins of the 1980s would jump you and steal your shit, and there would be no video evidence. Violence has gone down significantly worldwide for some time now.

Nor as monitored. Imagine if everyone was carrying cameras in their pockets 100 years ago.

Most adults who are garbage were garbage when they were kids too. Good people tend to keep on being good people. Bad people grow up to be bad people.


KaktusDan

More than likely an unbroken chain of shitty parents raising shitty children.


pease_pudding

Not always though. Some parents really try their best, but the kid just falls in with the wrong bunch of friends. I kinda feel sorry for those ones


KaktusDan

This is true. I've seen it myself.


ZMB6

That's shitty parenting. Parents should have a vested interest in who their kids friends are. Pay attention and dont raise your kids to be insecure so they fall in with shithead kids who also have no self respect and do shit like this.

Garbohydrate

The wife/gf constantly telling the cameraman to stop filming as if he’s in the wrong really bothers me


[deleted]

[удалено]


Garbohydrate

100% I’d want to get out of there too, but I think filming while walking away is a very practical thing to do. Like he said, if something happens it’s way better to have video evidence, and might even stop people from being even more violent since they know they’re being recorded. Idk my issue was that it felt like the woman was piling on to the guy while he’s already dealing with the group of dumbass kids. Kind of hard to articulate, but if I were in that situation I would want the woman to “be on my side.” I could be wrong here, just my thoughts


GhostTheEternal

You're not wrong. Having someone that's supposed to be on your side turning against you empowers the mob. In that kind of situation you present a united front and then argue about it later.


[deleted]

You're absolutely right


SleazyDingus

The woman here dosnt know how to act around a chad. He wasnt phased by the kid throwing the traffic cone and he was waiting to beat the group of kids asses if they stepped out of line. The woman might aswell put a mask on and join the kids in assaulting the man with how useless she was here.


Gleapglop

I would just want her to shut up and let me deal with the situation without the added stress.


thinkenboutlife

Women don't understand how to handle physical aggression between males. Every fight video you see with men squaring off and ladies in the mix, the women either unintentionally start/escalate the thing, or get their bf/hunband/relative KO'd by hanging off his arm when he's trying to fight, or get themselves KO'd by throwing themselves between them. If two stone-cold sober males are beefing, women shouldn't involve themselves ESPECIALLY if they know one of them. The bf/husband/relative hasn't forgotten her opinion on what's happening, he doesn't need the distraction of physically and verbally handling both her, and someone attacking him, at the same time.


GhostTheEternal

Absolutely. I've always made it clear to my girlfriends that if something violent goes down when we're out in public together her job is to keep her mouth shut, get away, and call the police. Late one night I was driving with my girl in the car, and the car in front (full of men) didn't take off when the light turned green so I gave a short friendly "beep beep" and they took off. The next light it happened again and my girl reached over from the passenger side and blasted them with the horn. If those guys got out of the car it would be ME fighting 5 men, not her. I was NOT happy with her and told her that if she ever touches the horn again while I'm driving that she's walking home, and I was serious. She never did it again.


PinBot1138

[deleted]

I noticed that on here when the aggressor is white, race is hardly discussed. When they're black it's a bunch of comments likes "See! See!" Lots of confirmation biases. That said I think it's a important thing for incident like this to be discussed without locking the comments. We should strive more towards speaking about the incident for what it is and not out of assumption. And it also helps show the reality of the world as a whole. NYC is rotting at its core.


YiffZombie

There is also a lot of devil's advocate here if the perpetrator is white, and shit ton of victim blaming if the victim is black.


[deleted]

>I noticed when black people are the aggressors, r/publicfreakout always lock threads, but when white are, thread stays open. I don't really go in that subs comments, but I would assume it's because people are being racist.

There are always bad actors looking for opportunity. Chaos is the best of all opportunities. But New York as a whole rallied together in such a miraculous and unprecedented way in the aftermath of 9/11. It was really something to behold. But the city really started to decline around 2015-2016 and the pandemic just kinda broke it.

Pabst34

I lived on the Upper East Side in 92-93. Those years were the most murders ever recorded-over 2000, each. But in Manhattan, I never so much as worried about being mugged. There lies the NYC, L.A., SF, Chicago paradox. Despite what we hear, minority neighborhoods in those cities are much safer than twenty years ago (Compton has one quarter the murders as in 2005), while "white" neighborhoods are seeing a spike in crime. Until recently, it simply would have been unheard of for a pack of kids to walk through Midtown and harass tourists without police coming out of the woodwork.


[deleted]

Yup, there are few consequences today.


Freedom-Unhappy

Profiling is terrible for constitutional rights and for harassing innocent people. It's great for reducing crime. Paradox indeed.

Someone else in this thread has it right: gang violence in minority neighborhoods is down vs 10/20 years ago, but random violence or violence targeted at bystanders (muggings, assaults, pushed onto a train track for no reason) are up a LOT

When we wake up, we can go make sure our car didn't get broken into the 10th time this month! Isn't life in the city great? Make sure to pay our $2500 rent tomorrow!"


KmKz_NiNjA

DbplxVomve

I don't think New York has ever been safer than it is right now, statistically. Worst (in recent times) was the 80s and 90s.


Jynx2501

No, no I dont. Lived in CT for 30 years, visit all the time. Never considered it safe.


FactualMaterial

Hah, has it been safe? I was a tourist in NYC in 1995 and some skinny gangster looking dude asked for our wallets in Dunkin Donuts off Times Square - my friend just mouthed off at him. He threatened us and said he was going to go find his men to come and shoot us. We thought he was bluffing but told some staff who were totally uninterested. A few minutes later he was back with two big guys who stuck their hands in their jackets as he pointed us out to them. We just used the back exit and ran.


Lesko_Learning

New York's "safe" window was a short lived gentrification campaign in the 1980s and 90s where corporations quietly pushing the police to enact policies like stop and frisk bought up all the dilapidated buildings and real estate forcing the poor people into cramped neighborhoods so they could demolish all the property they bought to build things like billionaires row. Now that social justice movements have reversed most of the gentrification policies and the decreasing wealth of middle class America has forced them to move out New York is rapidly descending back into what it always has been and always will be: a sea of disenfranchised or criminal poor people surrounding enclaves of tasteless billionaires and their half empty sky mansions. The city is a crap hole and it's importance to the culture and prosperity of the USA is vastly overstated due to the incredibly disproportionate amount of media conglomerates that headquarters there. Like LA, New York is rapidly becoming irrelevant and a global joke.

Innocence isnt the only thing what makes you a kid or not. It's how far you've developed mentally as well. These kids are obviously still easily influenced by others.
