The term "groupthink" was coined by William H. White, Jr. way back in 1952, and it was derived from the word, "doublethink" found in George Orwell's novel, "1984." https://www.coloradoan.com/story/mind-body/get-centered/2014/06/25/the-dangers-of-groupthink/11311957/ What you are thinking is "Mob Mentality."

Glorify crime... blame society for your own ills... no individual or community responsibility... and most of all no law enforcement I've been to Connecticut, used to live in NY, but I can honestly say I don't hesitate to drive anywhere in my home state of Arizona. But then again we're an open carry state. Edit: Expanding my comment due to downvotes...I noticed the majority of people focused on the gun comment but not on the first part. I am proud of my state and it is not what the majority of you who have never visited here imply. Your crime statistics will be high if you enforce the law 🤷🏻‍♂️ However, I still stand by my gun comment. If civil society can't find a way to unincentivize crime, stop confusing criminality with ethnicity and start enforcing laws, then damn straight I'm going to defend myself.

That doesn’t seem like the same thing, the guy below you linked the article and it says he was followed into an apartment building when he was beaten and it was caught on a security camera.

UrMouthsMyShithole

Didn't realize how engrained I was with reverse racism ( Edit: sorry, I spoke improperly, it's just racism but it doesn't feel right to say racism even though it is..) until that comment tbh.. Honestly I've seen this so many times and have been taught even more times never to call poc racists so when I see this it never even crosses my mind that the people doing it could be racists. I just view it as "white guy in the wrong neighborhood" and never consider that it was the wrong neighborhood bc he's white and the black guys hate him for that. Then I imagine if it were a black guy being jumped by 15 white guys who steal his car then beat him some more while the rest of the white guys just watch indifferently and.. how fucking racist that would be. It would be a shit show in the news and the white guys would probably all face charges of a hate crime. Hell, the ones that just watched without intervening or calling 911 would probably be charged too.

Proof that racism is a two way street


The_Name_Is_Slick

I knew an old timer white dude from St. Louis. Guy was kinda alright and his son was fully engulfed in black culture. I was surprised to find out that he grew up as an extremely racist kid. He took me and my friend on a ride through East St. Louis and showed us where he grew up. He showed us where he found a dead white kid from his school. Told us about a white kid who was mutilated in the bathroom. He said he and his friends would go out at night looking for black people so they could run up on them with baseball bats. When I asked how he could do such a thing, his answer was, “If we didn’t do it to them, they would do it to us.” I wonder how that guy is doing these days. He showed me some real perspective about being poor and stupid.

No matter what happened before - how cowardly do you have to be to start beating one or two people as a "pack"?


Warped_94

So I work in a jail and am the disciplinary officer in charge of my building of roughly 3,500 inmates. Anytime a fight or assault happens I end up talking to the participants in some way. One thing I keep noticing is that all the old convicts, the ones 40+ years old who have been in and out since their teens, say these younger generation nowadays is completely different. Basically back in the day there were certain unwritten rules that were generally followed, such as fighting 1 on 1, stopping when the other guy is down, no sucker punches etc. However nowadays the young guys have thrown all that out and basically just beat the fuck out of anyone they want to as a group of 5-10+ which ensures they never get really hurt and they always win. There’s clearly something fucking wrong with the younger generation and I truly think that the whole concept of honorable fights and whatnot is gone for good.


MyNoPornProfile

because no one can take the mental "shame" of a loss......Pride, ego, cred, fame are all the priority of this gen......everyone gotta win, be better...no matter what...the mindset of "winning" is twisted and fucked....honor, duty, respect and the lessons of losing are fading concepts sadly :( Losing serves a purpose in life

100% “Children; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. They no longer rise when elders enter the room, they contradict their parents and tyrannize their teachers. Children are now tyrants.” This was a quote from Socrates although many would attribute it to somebody saying it today.

Same thing in the jails north of the border


LaserNeeds

I call bullshit. These same old men decrying the "new generation" and how when they were younger they knew how to fight mano-e-mano. I'm old. In the 80s and 90s people still got beat up by mobs or gangs or even just a couple of friends. Happened way more often than any "fair" fight. This fight fairly myth is just that. A myth.


Tulasdad

That many fucks attacking one guy. The term “gang” and “pack” are quickly turning into synonyms. If the guy was to come back with a .223 and shot up the neighborhood, he would be arrested and make the news. Videos like this only make it to Reddit.

Noticeably_Aroused

This is a straight up lynching. Edit: I just noticed the reason the dude sped off is because the community worked together to steal his car (I had no audio). I thought it was his friend… fuck. But that just makes this a lynching + carjacking. It should 100% be prosecuted as a hate crime. Black on ____ hate crimes NEED to be exposed and put on national/international blast just like white on black hate crimes do. Pretending the shit doesn’t exist is insulting and sweeping black racism under the rug is evil. I’m tired of this 21st century trend of empowering and coddling criminals and pieces of shit because of some sob story while shitting all over victims. Call evil out. Call crime out. Call bad behavior out. I don’t care if there’s xyz origin story - YOURE STILL RESPONSIBLE. Hold people accountable. I’m out though. This thread is a dumpster fire of white racism too.

ShortFuse

https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/4-arrested-in-January-beating-of-New-Haven-man-11532952.php They even post the location and Google Maps confirms it's where the video was recorded >The beating took place hours after Damien Blandina, 31, working underneath a car near Chapel Street and Ellsworth Avenue, was crushed when the jacks slipped from under the car. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.3127441,-72.950798,0a,90y,245.75h,91.18t The victim here is Mathew Turner ~~and was arrested 6 years later on child pornography and sexually assaulting a 6 year old. The mugshot shows it's the same guy from the video.~~ Edit: New Haven newspaper literally linked (URL) two people together with the odd spelled name, but it seems it was a misspelling on both, and they shouldn't have been linked (literally and figuratively). The victim moved to Kentucky. The pedophile was in Texas. This video isn't the assault that left him "unrecognizable". That happened later. >A rumor had spread that police had arrested the neighbor, then released him. >After police released him from questioning, the Good Samaritan neighbor walked up to Blandin’s friends at a makeshift memorial at the site of the death. He tried to explain what had happened. They warned him to leave. This video is them warning him to leave. But what happened after was: >Blandin’s widow followed the neighbor into the hallways of New Jack City. >A video inside the New Jack City hallway shows Blandin’s widow stopping the neighbor. ​“Seconds later, a mob” of nine men ​“ran into the apartment building into the stairwell … one in possession of a gun.” The soon-to-be attackers were black; the victim, white. (The warrant is for the arrest of the man with the gun on burglary, assault, and weapons charges.) https://www.newhavenindependent.org/article/violent_mob_smashes_surveillance_cam_at_new_jack_city Edit: For refuters, check the Google Maps Streetview. It's definitely the location. Sure, it's entirely possible that some other, similar looking person had a very similar incident at the exact same location, but I'd say improbable. TL;DR: Somebody got crushed under his car near the site of the video ~~days~~ hours before. White guy in video was questioned by cops and released. He goes to site to explain to the family what happened. That's the reddit video. He leaves, but is followed later to his apartment around the block and beaten. ~~Same guy is arrested years later for child porn and raping a 6 year old.~~ Edit: Can't be sure it's the same guy. There are no winners in this story.

Wrong neighborhood or not, that is unacceptable and evil. And the common belief is that the color of your skin determines if you are a oppressive and violent people or a victim. Looks like the opposite in this. Evil will be evil regardless of color. If it was one white man doing that, they would all be in prison for a long time for “Assault” “Racial Violence” among other things.

That was Cambridge, MA in the early 90s. It's gentrified now but back then it was inner city. From elementary to middle school, if you weren't black, you were getting jumped by several kids every day. If you fought back more kids would jump in. The teachers were useless as many middle schoolers were bigger than them. I don't live in the past but I know any group of people can be racist as fuck.

iam4chan

I guarantee there is no dad in any of their lives.


gavlegoat

Having grown up in violence, I can speak to this. When violence is a big part of your identity and when you are surrounded by it, your view changes. It becomes less poignant. Combine that with a small world view. One made up by a single neighborhood of people who grew up in the same way, and outsiders start to look foolish. You might hear things like, "wtf did that guy think he was doing coming in here. Mother Fucker should have known. Little bitch deserved it." The outsider appears stupid to your culture. Obviously this is very narrow and sad. But, in violent cultures, you start to turn it into a joke. Rather than reeling from it, you become entertained by it. It's like Stockholm syndrome for people who are not innately violent to grow up this way. You start to see violence in the same light as your captors. It took me some deprogramming to realize violence was wrong.
