problem is that we put up with crime
I am well aware of that. but there is an additional problem which is that we will never get rid of crime. It will only get worse as long as we have the corruption in government we have today.
Preaching will never change the criminal on the street nor the ones in government. Only powder and lead will change them and that is seriously frowned on by those in power.
So our only recourse until the government falls of its own stupidity and corruption, as have hundreds of government since the fall of Rome, is to take precautions...and one of the major cautions should to be aware of our surroundings when in questionable places,,,and a woman in a super box store parking area should be aware.
Understood. Pity .
