Hats off to Mayor Nutter. Tough guys like him are needed to deal with black kids who have inherited their entitlement mentality from their parents and maybe even from their grandparents.

Bethel said in the chat that the average age of kids in these mobs is 14 to 16, but police have arrested kids as young as 11......
