VDH misunderstands the problem. He seems to think that the predators will find ANYTHING of substance when they look inward. There is nothing there, or at least, nothing good.
These “animals” have been raised (actually, not raised) to be, well, predatory animals. Whether it was lack of parenting or abusive parenting, these creatures are as wild & dangerous as any predator in the jungle. More dangerous, actually.
We have regressed in this country back to the wild west days, where it was kill or be killed. There is no law & order. The “law” refuses to deal with these predators in a final way, instead preferring to release murderous monsters back into society after a short period of free room & board.
If we are to ever reclaim this country for decent, law abiding people, we are going to have to deal harshly, quickly, & finally with predators.
As for Kalifornia, the place is beyond redemption w/o the mass expulsion of illegals AND Liberals. That ain't EVER gonna happen, so I can't imagine why decent people such as VDH remain there. Seems almost masochistic to me.
Actually, the "wild west" was a more civilized time. There was a lot less crime than you might think if you went by TV, books, and movies. I dare say, there are plenty of places across this country (not just CA) that are much more dangerous than the "wild west" ever was.
