I saw nothing critical in there. Critical would be, you're just a gang of violent thugs, engaged in criminal activities, and you belong in prison. Thanks rktman.
Instead, he let’s us know that all those innocents rotting in prison cells are hurting the economy. Uh, whut?
Well yeah — imagine the economic boom that would result if they were out robbing places and people. Talk about stimulus...
