The boys were walking through a southeast Memphis neighborhood when Kenneth E. Bonds yelled at them to pull up their pants, according to an arrest document.

Police Sgt. Ron Perry said the teens refused and the three began arguing in the street. Bonds then brandished a semi-automatic pistol and threatened to shoot the teens.  Perry said Bonds fired several shots and hit one of the teens as the pair ran away. The teen's wound wasn't critical.

Do you think
places like Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands, which have much higher taxes, they seem really nice and organised in comparison.
would do as well with such people ? or would people like this swamp a socialist utopia too ?

Well, if you're asking if we have too many freeloaders to properly implement a socialist system resembling the nations you mentioned....

I think my answer would have to be "most likely."

When does shooting some one with your pants down make you a freeloader ?

I thought you were implying poverty issues in general...

That's sort of a useless hypothetical. There are advantages and disadvantages to every way a nation can operate. No civilised culture could see any positive benefit by having to tackle both their own disadvantages, and the disadvantages of other cultures.
