The warrior mystique and the thug mystique have at least one thing in common: the willingness to face death. This is usually accompanied by a groundless certainty that it will be the other fellow who shuffles off this mortal coil, and not one’s self.
The only thing that will deter thugs is actual death, never merely the threat of death. Until we understand that, we will never take effective measures to solve the thug problem.
