Hey Trib!
Try examining the CULTURE they live in!
Failed schools with failed curricula.
Fatherless homes, due to welfare, contraception, and abortion.
Abandonment of religion.
Drug culture is the only business model they learn.
A catch and release justice system that undermines law enforcement.
oh...and Politicians who thrive on exploiting them.
On return from ‘Nam there were 7 murders on my block alone in ‘68, all committed by the same teen age street gang. That was before the war-on-poverty had any impact on them.
All murderers within the gang were from broken homes, however. Most murders were Italians killing teenage Mexican illegals who were invading the neighborhood.
The gang would go to the local businessmen and demand money to protect the neighborhood from the spics. The elderly Polish owner of the small candy store refused and they beat him down with their fists and left. The elderly man died 15 minutes later of a heart attack. I include that in the murders. The gang also burned down the lumber store for the same reason. But nobody died in that.
Decades earlier Capone, Nitti, etal were doing exactly the same thing in the same neighborhood.
We are all sinners. Some of us consciously reject sin and modify our behavior. Some modify behavior due to social pressure as described by DeTouqeville. But some of us feel pressure to go anti-social, which is yielding to our sinful nature.
