Leftist will freak out any time you admit violent crime exists without first giving an extensive preamble about systemic poverty.

listen. the joke is old enough to have been on SNL when it was good: "shortest books in the world: Book of Beautiful British Smiles, Polish 'Who's Who', and List of Liberals Who've Been Mugged"

I don't think that people who become hard right reactionaries after experiencing crime are "right" or doing like the best thing or the natural thing. But also. not every motherfucker is Jean Valjean stealing a loaf of bread.

You can talk about systemic oppression and poverty as much as you like, a person still has a choice on if they're going to stick a gun in someones face or not.

While I don't think the state killing people or putting people in a concrete box is a solution to the issues of crime, the problem also isn't that people are desperate enough to do these things. That's at the back end, that's prevention. But the issue is once they HAVE done this, once someones kicked a door down or knocked over a liquor store, something is different. Once a threshold has been crossed for violence, you can look at your fellow man differently. I don't think there's a universal solution, but also like. man.

but now, everyone can view everyone instantaneously as a bunch of squalid little savages of any skin tone, religion, political persuasion, because the homo sapiens dog-cuntus holds primacy over the information superhighway.
