If young people are the future of this country, we are in really big trouble. We are supposed to be a civilized society, but now we are facing an entire generation of young Americans that is completely out of control. Violent crime is surging all over the nation, theft will cost U.S. retailers more than 100 billion dollars this year alone, and at this moment we are dealing with the worst drug crisis in the entire history of the United States. Needless to say, all of these problems are primarily being fueled by Americans under the age of 30. These young people have been raised in a society that has largely rejected traditional values, and now we are reaping the consequences.

At this point, things are so bad that even the news crews that are reporting on the rising crime in our major cities are getting robbed themselves. Here is the latest example…
A Univision Chicago TV crew was reporting on a string of armed robberies across the city of Chicago early Monday morning when three men wearing ski masks robbed the crew at gunpoint.
The Chicago Tribune reported that the victims, a reporter and a photographer who have not been named, were filming a segment for the Spanish-language TV station near the 1200 block of North Milwaukee Avenue in the city’s West Town.
“They were approached with guns and robbed,” said Luis Godinez, vice president of news at Univision Chicago. “Mainly it was personal items, and they took a camera.”
A “Robin Hood mentality” is spreading among so many of our young people.
They see nothing wrong with “taking from the rich”, because they figure that most rich people exploited the poor to get their wealth in the first place.
Of course there are many others that don’t see any need to justify their crimes at all.
At this point, vast hordes of young people are completely and utterly lawless in many of our major cities, and that is forcing large numbers of businesses to move out of our core urban areas.
Earlier today, I came across a story about a very popular restaurant in downtown San Francisco that has decided to throw in the towel because crime has “made running a small business nearly impossible”…
Gracias Madre, a popular vegan eatery in San Francisco’s Mission District, closed its doors this week after more than a decade due to the city’s deteriorating conditions.
“Our mission was always to honor the mothers who give so much to serve, care for and live in hope for their families, especially those of Mexico. It has been an honor to work on behalf of their generosity and sacrifice all these years,” a note posted outside the restaurant – and on the web – read in part.
“The condition of life in San Francisco has deteriorated and made running a small business nearly impossible,” the note continued.
Sadly, a lot of this crime is being generated by the worst drug crisis in U.S. history.
Year after year, the number of overdose deaths just continues to grow, and we have reached a stage where even our schools are being absolutely flooded with fentanyl…
“[Fentanyl’s] infiltration into schools is certainly something that cannot be ignored,” says Alberto Carvalho, the superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District. LAUSD is one of the largest districts to stock naloxone, a medicine that reverses opioid overdoses, throughout its schools.
“We cannot close our eyes. We cannot look the other way,” he says.
Fentanyl was involved in the vast majority of all teen overdose deaths – 84% – in 2021, and the problem has been growing. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, fentanyl-related adolescent overdose deaths nearly tripled from 2019 to 2021. And nearly a quarter of those deaths involved counterfeit pills that weren’t prescribed by a doctor.
No matter what our politicians try, they can’t seem to stop the momentum of this crisis.
Why is that?
If you go to downtown Philadelphia right now, you can see hordes of homeless addicts literally staggering around like zombies.
