    You know, the good old days weren't the good old days. I admit, we have more perverts today, but if you look at crime statistics (especially in middle and upper class neighborhoods) I don't think there is a huge difference in crimes per thousand people.

    What is different is perception, driven by the media, both MSM and Social.

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      The kids were four houses away, FFS.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        It's freaking Connecticut. What the hell else did they expect in the Land of the Lemmings? Your choice is either move out west, or put ankle monitors on your kids.

        Please love yourself.

              Go hang out there for awhile. I've cousins there, and their parents.

              Connecticut folk decide where and what to eat based on the shit they find on TikTok.
              They only let their kids play at parks with good Yelp reviews.
              Their social conversation consists of sharing the things their favorite influencers recently peddled to them. They talk about buying the shit as if it's an accomplishment.
              They hire people to mow their lawns, clean their houses, clean their cars. Also based entirely on online reviews. They joke about being incompetent because hiring help is a bit of a flex in their world.

              Look, some of them, I'm sure, are fine people. But you can't tell me the average motherfucker in New London is living as independently as a Casper, WY family.

              Please love yourself.

                The Colt Collection is in the Connecticut History Museum right across the state Capitol, sharing a building with the state library.
                The Colt Armory was there, now part of the Coltsville Historic District, slated to become part of the Coltsville Historical National Park.

                  @Aqua-Letifer I sense hostility to your New England brethren.

                  The bits I've been to were filled with a whole lot of trees, and very little else. Maybe as you get closer to the urban center of New London, things change.

                  I was only joking

                    😄 New London's okay, plenty of other worse places. But the mentality up there is very, very different. This article doesn't surprise me.

                    And I know it's insane, but I'm of the opinion that seeing their kids in this way could be somewhat related to how they live themselves.

                        What's funny is that we were looking at places towards the Rhode Island/Connecticut border, and they're really different there, in completely the opposite direction. New England hillbillies is how one person described them. Considering the overall area, it's quite surprising how remote some parts are, then you drive for 20 minutes and its civilization again.

                            50+ years ago, I had a few stays at the Frank Davis Resort in Moodus, CT.

                            They used to say that the clown at the resort was Clarabell from Howdy Doody.

                            It turns out that he really wasn't

                              Eggshell instead of beige but yeah.

                                  When my son had just turned 10 we were visiting Vienna. On maybe our second day there, I handed him 10€ and the keys to our airbnb and he walked down the street by himself to get ice cream.

                                  They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

                                    When my son had just turned 10 we were visiting Vienna. On maybe our second day there, I handed him 10€ and the keys to our airbnb and he walked down the street by himself to get ice cream.

                                    I think I saw him wandering around wondering where his dad was! LOL

                                        Amsterdam was 2017.

                                        They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.
