You miss my point. There are riots surrounding this guy’s story. This guy is a bad guy. So was Rodney King yet L.A. went into riots over him.
Yes I lament over the large number of men wasting their lives in jail. There are only a few countries with a higher incarceration rate than our country. I don’t think, locking them up is the correct response. Crime was not out of control like this 50 years ago. I think the correct response is to structure society so we don’t have so many lawless youths roaming the streets. Basically we need a father back in the house and with proper authority to be in charge of raising law abiding citizens. Single women are by and large the parents of those in jail. Why treat the symptom (with more jails) and not the root problem (destruction of the family)?
Fathers will not be in the house with the welfare state being as it is. Why does a certain group of folks see having a child as a means of income as opposed to getting a job.
How do we do that? Government has become the parents of kids in cities... the government houses them, it feeds them... and it fails to punish them for their first 50 or so major crimes. Government tells them that religion is bad, it tells them that capitalism is bad, it gives them gold stars for failing.
