Want to shoplift in my store? Want to know what will happen? Phuck around and find out.

[SubGod22]

Group two must be doing the laundry for the first guy

[ShockerPrez]

This just irks the **** out of me. Watching this. At the very least the shoplifter could say thank you, while helping himself.

White privilege.

[ShockerPrez]

And at some point, there will be no shops selling goods and it will ultimately hurt the people the racists in charge believe they are helping. And I know that all races are partaking in these lawless acts, but if the majority committing the crimes were white folks, you cannot convince me that the good lefties in charge would allow it to happen. They allow it, because they believe it is showing compassion to the downtrodden. The soft bigotry of low expectations strikes again. Women and children hurt hardest. So much for promoting women owned businesses, eh? This woman got robbed by toxic masculinity. What to do? What. To. Do?

Well, don't move to San Fran.

Is the Air Force Academy Honor Code Dead?

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/11/is_the_air_force_academy_honor_code_dead.html

The Air Force Academy Honor Code is concise and unambiguous: “We will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does.”

Since its inception in 1955, the Academy has experienced a series of Honor Code scandals, resulting in the adaptation of eight increasingly lenient, legally entangled, and philosophically abstract honor code remediation programs. In 2014 the degradation of the Honor Code led to a full-scale breakdown of morality that involved sexual assault, drug abuse, and cheating. The downward trajectory continued, when in 2020, a cheating scandal involved nearly 250 cadets. Less than 10% were expelled with over 90% enrolled into an unvalidated, compulsory six-month probation program that reinforces the notion that valuing individual loyalties over group honor will be rewarded with leniency.

The research further concluded that the academy is failing in its primary mission: Cadet motivation to make the Air Force a career fell from over 90% in the 1960s to less than 50% today.

Between 2002 and 2011, senior and freshman cadets were given the Defining Issues Test which ranks moral reasoning. The test found no significant difference in the highest level of moral reasoning between academy seniors and seniors at other colleges and universities. One in four members of the Class of 2010 regressed to lower levels of ethical decision making while attending the academy. These surveys show that fourth class cadets enter the Academy as the most honorable class. However, cynicism becomes prevalent when fellow cadets ignore the Honor Code, officers engage in dishonorable behavior, and senior military leaders avoid responsibility for failed leadership.

All three service academies have been beset with honor scandals, and have struggled with the justification and enforcement of the toleration clause (in the Code of Honor).

Malmstrom’s surveys show that while over 60% of graduates admit violating the toleration code, less than 9% of the reported violations were for toleration. While lying, cheating, and stealing are typically perpetrated for individual gain, toleration is much more prevalent and pernicious. Toleration leads to repeating honor scandals and breeds the perception of unfairness. A value system deemed unfair will eventually lead to wider spread dishonorable behaviors, the breakdown of unit cohesion, and ultimate collapse of the organization.

There is an expectation that cadets are trained to adhere to high standards of honesty and ethical behavior that will carry them through both military and civilian life. These fundamental assumptions were challenged in a nationally televised documentary where the dishonorable actions of a 1994 Air Force Academy graduate cost the lives of hundreds of people. The individual, who served as Boeing’s chief technical pilot, suppressed information about critical problems with the MCAS flight control system that led to the 737 Max disasters and led to his indictment for fraud.

In October of this year a statue of brigadier general and triple ace Robin Olds, arguably the most admired Commandant of Cadets in the academy’s history, was dedicated at the Air Warrior Combat Memorial. In his biography Fighter Pilot he described his experience with the Air Force Academy Honor Code:

Over my three and a half years at the academy, I tried to change the honor system both individually and collectively... It was an ultimately hopeless quest. The honor system was treated like a court of law... codified, analyzed, beaten to the ground and weakened my myriad interpretations. If the guys in D.C. and in commands would just let these kids follow their innate instincts as pilots and leaders, the Air Force would be in great shape for the future.

The Honor Code is broken, as well as the academy’s ability to accomplish its primary mission of training career officers of character. The Air Force Academy should heed General Olds' advice and return the administration and enforcement of the Honor Code to the Cadet Wing.

A plumber once told he that the main thing a plumber needs to learn is that $hit flows downhill. When the Joint Chiefs of Staff exhibit no honor it's difficult to expect the cadets to do so.

This a sad thing to see happen but it is just part of the broader decline of our society over the years which seems to be accelerating in recent times.

[Kung Wu]

Why didn't people just open a side door in the SUVs and start helping themselves to the stuff that the robbers were putting in the cars? Stealing is legal, so stealing from robbers is okay too!

[pogo]

Maybe the the original thieves were armed and not afraid to use their weapons.

Biden’s America

Unfortunately this is what we have brought upon ourselves over the last several decades. We let elected officials serve long after they should and whose only interest is furthering their own self interest. It has become not who is the best and brightest (Because they aren't interested in public office) but becomes a question of who is going to hurt me the least or give me more if he gets elected.
