Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter Calls Out Youths, Flash Mobs, and Parents | Video | TheBlaze.com.
All 30 min of Mayor Michael Nutter’s speach is available below.
He calls on the kids to get a job, dress to get a job (no more hoodies and pants on the ground), and for parents to supervise the kids, and for fathers to be more than “sperm donors”.
Highlights:
“If you walk into somebody’s office with your hair uncombed and a pick in the back, and your shoes untied, and your pants half down, tattoos up and down your arms and on your neck, and you wonder why somebody won’t hire you? They don’t hire you ’cause you look like you’re crazy!”
“The Immaculate Conception of our Lord Jesus Christ took place a long time ago, and it didn’t happen here in Philadelphia. So every one of these kids has two parents who were around and participating at the time. They need to be around now.”
* technical note: the Immaculate Conception refers to Mary being born without sin, (Catholic doctrine) rather than Jesus being born of a Virgin (a separate and general Christian doctrine). But the general message of Mayor Nutter is a good one.
