It's nice of you to say that from San Francisco Bay, but there isn't a social program for every problem.
As someone who grew up in the bad neighborhoods and has been face to face with criminality on the daily for most of my life, I'll let you in on a little secret.
A lot of stickup boys do it because they like to.
I know y'all folks are plenty smart, but stick to your lane. These places would make your head explode.
- dmos62 5y agoWell at least they're enjoying what they're doing. I'm not sure what your point was. Edit: wow, you've made some pretty bold edits.
- busterarm 5y agoAddressing your laughable claim that crime will go away if you throw money at social programs. Like I said, some people do it for fun. Some do it to follow their idols. Sure you can stop some of it, but arresting and incarcerating people _is_ an effective solution.
- dmos62 5y agoYou know, for what it's worth, I didn't mention social programs, or that the judicial system doesn't have its place.
- busterarm 5y ago> Edit: wow, you've made some pretty bold edits. If the shoe fits and all. I'd love to get lectured about how crime works by somebody in an area with a $2695 median rent. Would you like me to tell you what it's like to be a child growing up in a neighborhood dying of crack addiction and AIDS? And while I'm being extroadinarily harsh, this is how tonedeaf big-city liberals come off telling us how they're gonna fix our neighborhoods.
