=>"A criminal act is a criminal act is a criminal act. The why of it only explains the failure of character; it does not excuse that failure."
If you refuse to address the travesty that pushes a percentage of people over the edge, then you have relinquished your right to bitch about them going over the edge. You can't on the one hand tolerate a cause, and on the other hand whine about the effect.


I don't care why some miscreant robs a convenience store. I don't care why another sells drugs on a corner.
I don't care why a third rapes a 10 year old.

But I can still expect them to be arrested, prosecuted, and sentenced for their crimes.

Nice strawman. Do you flog him much, or is this a special event for you?

None of what you puked up has a damn thing to do with the topic at hand, of course.
