VERY little respect these days for anything or anybody so no surprise.

Sad, here is a man who has been there and done that being harassed by the people he fought for so they could have the freedoms they enjoy.

It is a sad thing you Vietnam vets had to face this sort of thing constantly and gained no respect for what you did.

Empty vessels make the most noise.

Not getting respect from the youth now. Did not get when they came home then. Sad both times

somebody needs to take that kid with the red hat and drop him off in the Bronx.... at about 3 am... a few miles from yankee stadium..... good luck kid..... he would be walkin home naked.

[Nastee]

Wow is all i can say. Hope he does get expelled that will get his attention!! Lucky old man did not put some sh*t on him. Liked that the girl had some heart.

Interestingly enough, the fella admitted he shouldn't have been there and placed himself in that predicament. That being said, those young fellas needed to back off and respect what he was doing same as they expected others to respect what they were doing.

Respect what they were doing? What was that?

The students were there to participate in the "March for Life"

Karma will prevail, the school board is getting involved and hopefully a parent or two will sort them out.

reports coming out now that the drummer purposely went into the group of students , the abbreviated film only tells half the story. not here to pick sides but media can skew it any way they want to get you to believe what they are pushing

He said he went into somewhere he shouldn't have and admitted that.

I am fed up with what our continent has become. No one wants to listen anymore. Anytime someone doesn't agree with something they tell and scream and drown things out. WTF ever happened to listening maybe learning perhaps looking for compromising and finding middle ground. Everyone wants their freedom of speech to be the only voice heard. The splits in society of late has become so deep it's hard to bring together. But the problem seems to me no one any longer even wants to try Maybe the vet could have gone and tried talking to the kids. Maybe the kids could have stopped and listened. Maybe just maybe they both would have learned something. I. Cry for our countries future

....and it's only going to get worse as time goes by and the "wonder generation" takes over.

Take a look at other countries where violent protests are the norm not the exception. Paris has been in shambles for months and there seems to be no end.

Human beings are just not designed to live together in harmony.

[VIPER]

We as adults now should fear when these pestulant little pukes are in control of this planet. That is a prime example of some brats who didnt get their asses beat enough.

I got to thinking on this subject of today's youth and how they are...

I know for a fact each generation was looked at in distain by the previous generation. All the Swingers of the '30s and (reluctant) soldiers of the 'late '30s and '40's, Greasers of the '50's and early '60's, the hippies of the '60s and early '70s, the stoners of the late '70s and '80s, geeks and techies of the late '80s up to today.

Somehow they all seemed to survive and become contributing members of society paving the way. Each generation loses something though and I'm not sure what it is. Toughness maybe, resilience maybe, not sure.

I do know this generation coming up behind us are more book/tech educated but not as smart in life. I do blame this on social media and the availability of personal tech placed in the hands of the youth who would rather be immersed in fantasy worlds while being out of touch with the world and people around them. The youth of today are more isolated than ever before as they can live a whole life and never leave their room or face consequences for actions taken.

its toughness that they don't have... even "words" constantly offend them. much of todays youth reach the age of 30 without even being involved in a SINGLE fistfight... I see it at work.

This was fake news. There is now footage of the native American walking up and getting in the face if the kid with the MAGA hat. There was also another group harassing the kids just because they had MAGA hats on!! They were calling them the result of inbreeding and worse...

It's all very simple.......

When I was a kid, there was authority. It means if I broke the rules there was punishment, physical, emotional and I paid a price. This was at home and at school. So I learnt to respect authority and abide by the rules. The physical punishment at school back then if I did not do my homework, or skipped a class, today will result in a teacher being fired and arrested. It was my job to pass the exam, not the teacher's job.

Today we have the spoilt generation, empowering children with no boundaries. A growing lack of adult authority, especially outside of the home has bred a spoilt generation of children who have no respect for most things. This new generation are used to having their demands met by their parents and others in authority and sadly it does not prepare them well for the realities of adult life. We are seeing the consequences in every area of life, being from the classroom, to the streets to the criminal courts.

All that said, there are still parents who do an excellent job in raising their children properly, regardless of the impact outside of their homes. Sadly, the numbers are dwindling though.

in the state of new York if a 16 year old commits a cold blooded murder... and is convicted.,, he goes to adult prison..... ok... so he is there.... they just passed a law where if that SAME kid convict throws feces and urine on a civilian OR OFFICER/ And assaults the officer.. he can only spend a week or so in the BOX.... FURTHERMORE... if he can convince OMH that he is crazy... NO BOX time/ no keeplock time./NOTHING...….. the state FEARS the suicides in the box that much.... the young "gangsters" have high high high suicide rates.... isn't that crazy? there is much more to this subject but I should stop here.... needless to say.... they play their games.... and we play ours....

All these are good points...today the child has the power not the adult. This has started since the mid '80's.

When I was a kid, you got sorted out but I was unable to sort out my own kids. I grounded them but if they decided to ignore the punishment I gave them, there was very little I could do about it without having the authorities knocking on my door.

I ended up with one lad respecting his elders and the other not so much as he was empowered to not have to.

We will sadly see the result of this in the near future when they rise to power.
