Hmmm... Let's see:
Kids being assaulted by cops (it doesn't matter what the justification by the authority figures are, rest assured, there are groups of young people who see this as unjustified, "unfair", abusive treatment of them).
Cops overusing or even abusing tazers.
Repeated news reports of authority figures abuing their authority (need I mention the mod chip raids among many others?).
Authority figures such as those down at the FL boot camp that actually KILL young people. (Forget the excuses, when asked, many kids and even Parents will say it was simply murder. )
Hell, look at Grossman's reference to the gang house. You really think that when a "gang" of cops storm into a house the gangs feel was safe, the kids are gonna think "Oh wow! A living video game!" NO! They're gonna think "Oh crap! This is OUR house and the cops are trying to hurt US/take away our territory/etc". (Hey, it could be even more rough thinking on their part. I realize I don't have the thinking they do, but I doubt I'm far off.)
Preception. Instead of thinking "we're all good guys, why do they want to hurt us?", the authority figures need to look at the preceptions being seen by kids and even a large number of adults regarding various authority figures. For whatever reason, many preceive the authority figures as being untrustworthy and even dangerous, even deadly, to them.

Posted 07/06/08 at 11:38am tallimar: hmm... youre right, im not getting the right mind frame... "YOU WILL LIKE FRIES WITH THAT!" how's that?
Posted 07/06/08 at 11:36am gameman9: Nah, he will just scare the customers.
Posted 07/06/08 at 11:35am tallimar: i think jack's new line may end up being "would you like fries with that?"
Posted 07/06/08 at 11:00am Adamas Draconis: His fave line. Always thought it should be "They've got me right where I want them."
Posted 07/06/08 at 10:43am gamepolitics: he's got 'em right where he wants 'em,LOL
Posted 07/06/08 at 10:30am Silencets: It was a great idea. Just another step in the overarcing master plan off JT...we little people wouldn't understand....
Posted 07/06/08 at 08:35am Jack Wessels: Yeah I knew that part. I'm just amazed at whatever thought process led him to think that was a good idea.
Posted 07/06/08 at 08:33am gamepolitics: actually, he also sent similar material to the FL Supreme Court about 6 months before that
Posted 07/06/08 at 08:24am Jack Wessels: for him and would somehow get Kent in trouble.
Posted 07/06/08 at 08:23am Jack Wessels: @GP: Wow, I've skimmed that one before, but I never noticed that JT actually thought this was good news....
Posted 07/06/08 at 04:40am gamepolitics: eraser: see our original story on that:http://tinyurl.com/6nm9oe
Posted 07/06/08 at 12:21am infect999: because he's an idiot
Posted 07/05/08 at 11:41pm eraserheadthelynch: why did he send gay porn to the judges?
Posted 07/05/08 at 10:44pm Jack Wessels: @Silencets: Maybe it'll come to JT soon too, so he can finally complete that show cause order....
Posted 07/05/08 at 04:30pm Jose_Pedro_Ramirez: No one believed that the ice at the North Pole would ever melt, but...
Posted 07/05/08 at 04:28pm Haggard: Maybe he thought the judges would appreciate it?
Posted 07/05/08 at 03:27pm Silencets: I'm sure JT had a perfectly good reason sending gay porn....It'll come to me any day now...
Posted 07/05/08 at 02:54pm Grendal: once you send gay porn to judges, I'm comfortable calling you crazy
