Sadly, it is transgenerational.

This is what happens when perps are not prosecuted to the fullest & sentenced to the max.
Here in this area, people vandalize, especially cars & commit acts of violence just to "have fun!"
Never seen anything like it.
I must have my grandson sit in my car while I go into grocery store as a deterent. This is a pretty common practice here for 1 adult to stay in the car which, obviously, makes doing things together impossible.
Several months ago, a group of teens shot & killed the president of the chamber of commerce leaving a meeting downtown. When questioned, they said they were "just having fun."
Yikes!
And the judges keep letting violent perps back out on the streets!

No matter how the host tried to slant his questions to politically frame the committee, she refused to bite. Fox viewers got the truth about the committee's work.

(16,476 posts)As much as I loathe Fox News, I may just have to find that online and watch it. Watching her foil that host's attempts to make the Jan. 6 committee into something it's not sounds like fun.
I happened to catch part of an interview with her on NPR last night, and I found it very interesting. Her deep concern about what Trump has done to this country always comes through loud and clear when she talks about the committee's work.
