Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:02]Yeah. Fire department.

[00:00:08]>> Yeah, of course.

[00:00:10]Hammers and Back to the Mack and the clothes. Adolesence packing a knock on the door. Who is it? I would have to know the one with the blow. Who did it?

[00:00:19]me.

[00:00:38]>> Well, guys, the weather's getting nice out. You know what that means?

[00:00:41]>> Beach trips with the family. SHOPPING FOR A SUMMER VACATION.

[00:00:46]>> NO, it means teen takeovers. I'm fatigued. Let's talk about it.

[00:00:56]>> Guys, before we get into today's video, please like and subscribe. Today, we're going to be talking about teen takeovers. Now, I did a video that's sort of adjacent to this pretty recently where we talked about black fatigue.

[00:01:07]Okay? And I told you a part two might be coming and you guys said, "Give me part two. Give me part two. Give me part two.

[00:01:11]THIS JUST MIGHT BE PART TWO." And that's a part of this conversation that I think some people don't want to talk about.

[00:01:16]Today we're going to be talking about team takeovers. If you're going, "Oh, I don't even know what a team takeover is.

[00:01:20]Please explain that to me." Well, in major metropolitan areas and some not so metropolitan areas in this country around this time of year, and now it's becoming all year, we get these little things called teen takeovers where a bunch of teeny boppers and ghetto ones at that decide they're going to congregate in a specific place at a specific time. Now, as they come to congregate in these places at specific times, they decide we are going to loot stores, loiter, set fires, cause property damage, scream at people, jump on their cars. You name it, they're doing it. Now, I'm going to show you some examples of this taking place. Now, this one is in Long Branch, New Jersey.

[00:01:58]Let's take a look.

[00:02:11]Oh, they're on that guy's car.

[00:02:26]>> Mama, get the >> And there at the end, you see police coming to disband this teen takeover.

[00:02:32]Now, these are kids ranging even below teenage years all the way up into adulthood, some of these individuals, as you can see. And it just blows my mind that this is continuing to take place and that so many things have to fail in order for something like this to continually take place across the country, mind you. And we're going to get into what needs to be done about this and who needs to be held accountable for this. But let's keep watching some more examples. Here's one from downtown Detroit.

[00:03:01]>> Welcome to Atlanta. Hammers and bows.

[00:03:03]Back to the clothes. Adolesence packing a knock on the door. Who is it? I would know the one with the blow. Who did it?

[00:03:10]I suppose in the loot in the cut down.

[00:03:16]>> Guys, while teens are taking over their cities and looting their local clothing stores, the rest of us buy our clothes.

[00:03:21]And that's why today's video is sponsored by Halara. You guys know that I'm pregnant. I was worried about how clothing was going to fit and what I was going to do with maternity clothes. And thank goodness I found Halara and Halara Circle. Now, Halara Circle is actually this company's way of listening to customers and their feedback. They take in this customer feedback and actually improve the products over time. It's not just a one-time campaign. It's a structured system where your feedback then changes the item. Right now, I'm wearing one of their Softly Zero airy backless dresses, which is so cool cuz I get to be active in it. It is stretchy, it's comfortable, and it has shorts underneath, which is bonus points. And this dress has evolved over time. There were previous versions. And this is the updated one cuz it makes sense to listen to your customers and then change the product accordingly.

[00:04:37]Now, all of these teenagers think this is super funny. They think it's super funny to disrupt the normal going on of everybody's day. They think it's normal to loiter, even funny and cool. They're taking videos and posting on social media. And as this goes out on social media, it's getting more and more numbers, which means more and more teens showing up to these places and causing problems. It's honestly tantamount to riots at this point. That's what's happening at some of these locations.

[00:05:03]I'm going to show you a video out of a Chipotle in Navyyard DC. I don't want you guys to think about your local Chipotle. Is it running like this? Is it looking like this?

[00:05:13]Oh my [ __ ] god.

[00:05:19]OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD.

[00:05:27]>> Oh my god.

[00:05:32]>> And let me explain a little bit of terminology for those of you who are unfamiliar with this particular culture.

[00:05:38]Now these young men who are going into Chipotles and starting these massive brawls, they're what we call YN's young [ __ ] There's a few ways in which you can identify a YN if you ever so happen to come across one. They'll be wearing balaclavas, Nike techs, air force ones.

[00:05:53]They'll be speaking in Ebonics or AAV as we now like to call it. And they're typically associated with these teen takeovers, brawls, looting, shoplifting.

[00:06:03]Again, you name it, they're doing it.

[00:06:05]These wins are often accompanied by their female counterparts. And I don't know exactly what to call them. Some may call them birds, among other bits of terminology and phrases. There's a lot to go around here. And when these groups get together for something like a team takeover, it looks more and more like this every time.

[00:06:39]If you guys can't exactly see there, that is a total car that has been set on fire, has a trash can on top of it, fast food wrappers around it, and is on a road that is covered in skid marks because they've been doing donuts in circles all throughout this particular lot or road, making a ton of people open to accidents or getting killed by these vehicles. And sometimes, although not enough, these teens are getting arrested. I'm going to show you a clip out of the local news where you can see one of these teens who's responsible for a takeover.

[00:07:07]>> And he didn't say his name, so he I thought I was getting a jump, but I wasn't. I looked, he was a c. I tried to stop. He just he just caught me. So after that, I got back up and I resist right then and there.

[00:07:17]>> What?

[00:07:18]>> Okay. I don't know exactly what he was trying to say there. Even I don't know how to translate the black I just heard.

[00:07:24]Okay. I think it was something about thinking he was getting jumped, but he was actually being arrested by a police officer. But somebody with a better translation is going to have to let me know in the comments if that's what I just heard. Now, these teen takeovers are getting so out of hand that these teens have brought Super Nanny out of retirement. I know that you know Super Nanny. I grew up watching her. I'm sure many of you did, too. Or you are familiar with her work. If there's ever a time that we've needed Super Nanny, it's now. Here's what she had to say at her Tik Tok that got over 250,000 likes.

[00:07:54]>> The hell is going on? Teen takeovers.

[00:07:59]They've got children running through shopping centers, terrorizing people, smashing up shops, attacking strangers, filming it for social media like it's entertainment. Parents, please get a grip on your children. Seriously, what happened to parenting? What happened to standards? What happened to raising children to respect people, respect themselves, and understand the consequences?

[00:08:27]Some of you don't know where your kids are. You don't know who they're with.

[00:08:32]You don't know what they're doing. And your child, I get told they ignore your text like you're powerless. Like, how is this the case? Who's paying for the phone? Who's putting food on the table?

[00:08:45]Who's responsible for that child? you you are your children. You're responsible for them. And before anybody comes for me, right, before they do, I'm not having you blaming the schools, the police, the social media, the government or society. Like seriously, this starts at home. Just go ahead and pause there for a moment. She is pointing out something factual. It does start at home. And while there are multiple levels to the way our communities work these days that I think are contributing to this issue and there are things that are happening at school, there is a lack of proper arresting of these teenagers and trying them through the criminal justice system. She's right when she says go to the home and go to parents. I think a lot of these parents don't give a damn about what their kids are doing.

[00:09:36]I think some of them are doing worse than their kids. Others are scared of their kids. And that's what's leading to these teen takeovers in the streets where absolutely nobody is being held responsible. And teens are ruining cities. They're ruining second and third places where people like to go and build community with one another and we're just allowing it to happen essentially.

[00:09:58]And although police are going to start responding to this more and more aggressively, which we'll get to in a moment, it starts at home. We'll say it again. Let's go back to Super Nanny. You are the parent. Lead your family. Sit your children down. Look them in the eye. Draw the line. Uphold the boundaries. Follow through with consequences. Because right now, too many parents are terrified of upsetting their children. How is this?

[00:10:27]How? This is weak leadership. And you know what it's doing? It's creating lost children. You just you cannot raise children with no accountability and then act shocked when they run wild in public. This isn't kids being kids. This is a breakdown of parenting and responsibility. There's a parenting crisis happening. And trust me, the consequences are coming because the police, they're intervening. THERE'S GOING TO BE CRIMINAL RECORDS, COURTROOMS, FINES, prison sentences, not just for some of these kids, but for you parents, too.

[00:11:01]>> And she's not wrong. They are coming after the parents. I'm going to head over to this clip from US Attorney Janine Piro where she says, "We're going to start knocking on your doors, parents, when we see these teen takeovers." And as we grapple with this problem, there is one area that hasn't been discussed.

[00:11:20]Parental involvement has been a noted gap in any discussion. And I am here to say as the United States Attorney in the District of Columbia, that ends today.

[00:11:32]Starting today, my office will aggressively prosecute parents under DC's curfew law. And the specific statute that we will use is a violation of DC code 22-811 and it involves contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

[00:11:54]This statute makes it unlawful for an adult to enable, facilitate, or permit a minor to engage in delinquent acts. The penalty is up to 6 months imprisonment.

[00:12:08]So, if the evidence shows the parent knew or should have known or permitted or failed to prevent participation, we're going to charge them. And if you drop your kid off and you fail to supervise them or you let them skip school to join the chaos, you are going to face fines, court-ordered classes, and possible jail time.

[00:12:33]>> And we need to start doing this in cities everywhere, far and wide, because this is a gap at the conversation as she says that we are not addressing. I've done video after video about how kids are acting up in school. They're addicted to screens. They cannot read.

[00:12:49]They're taking over cities. They're looting. They're setting things on fire.

[00:12:52]They're talking to people sideways instead of straight up. And we're not talking about the fact that parents are contributing heavily to this reality by either a not being there or being there in some of the most horrific ways a parent can show up. Every time I see one of these teen takeover videos, I'm looking at the screen and I'm checking things out and I have uh pattern recognition, of course, just like the rest of us do. And you know that these are predominantly black teens who are out here in the streets doing it, which means black parents are contributing either in their absence or by a presence that is allowing for this sort of behavior. And when people start screaming black fatigue, black fatigue, black fatigue, we can look at them and say, "Oh, you're racist or you're bigoted or you're discriminating against black people." Or we can recognize that we all have pattern recognition. It's getting so out of hand with a particular demographic that teen takeovers are starting to become something that is going to be classified as part of black culture. Think about that. And of course, there are plenty of law-abiding black teenagers and black families who are following the law, who are showing up to school on time, who are learning to read, who are not ruining these third spaces with teen takeovers. And it's sad that this group of people is ruining all of these spaces for the rest of us. That should go acknowledged. But if we want to solve this problem, as Super Nanny said, because somebody I guess put the bat signal out, we have to start at home with parents, and that means getting parents in the home. And once they're in the home, making sure they're holding themselves and their children accountable for their actions. And then when inevitably these things continue to take place, because some of these people are too far gone, we need to start handling this on school grounds. We need to start handling this with police presence. And yes, you and yours need to start getting arrested for putting together these events. I'm over it. I know you guys are over it. And people want their communities back. And it starts with the word accountability.
