Seathing Hot RAGE
Have you ever felt that seething hot rage that envelops you until all you want to do is strike at what caused it? That anger that makes you want to go out into the night looking for a fight? The kind where you hope someone will say something so you can blast them one and have a good fight? I have. I felt it tonight in fact. Why did I feel it

However I should mention a couple of things...
1) These things are cyclical. The gangs of girls you mention? Nothing new to western civilization, and they exist even in cultures where whipping or whacking off hands predominate.
2) Welfare cultures always breed the kind of contempt for just about everything that you are seeing. It did in Ancient Rome and it does today. Give people something for free and they will soon think it is their due. Show them a system to abuse and many will abuse it.
There are solutions to both.
First - get the government to grow a brain. You're right - the police cannot be everywhere and cannot handle minor issues. So let the people do it. The laws exist already, just stop dissuading people from acting when no one else can. The laws for citizen's arrests have always existed (they're what security guards use to hold people after all). We should stop sweeping them under the carpet like some kind of sordid affair and TEACH people their rights AND responsibilities both as members of society and as citizens of the nation. If the citizens arrest someone, the police will have to act. And if they get roughed up just a wee bit in a way that cannot be detected, maybe they'll start being more afraid of the citizens than of our sad court system.
Second - stop encouraging this system. Know what cleaned up the Big Apple? Workfare. You get money from the government? You work. You clean up graffiti, you pick up trash, you shovel snow, you clear drains, you watch kids, you go to school. Do nothing - and you starve. The left wing hated it and called it slavery and all manner of things but you know what? It gave those former bums a sense of accomplishment. A year after they were put to work the opposition wanted to repeal the law and THEY refused. It may not have been great work - but they contributed. They meant something. They could point at a park where children could play and say "we reclaimed that place". And it was true.
Welfare for nothing has never been a good idea. Everyone has something to contribute. Rather than letting them fall through the cracks, give them a hand up. Not a hand out.
