LMAO. Twenty-nine states have a three strikes rule, and their violent crime hasn't decreased by half.

- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoMaybe it has dropped relative to what it would have been otherwise.
- FireBeyond 2y agoThen presumably the states with these rules will be the least violent in the country, right? Spoiler: they’re not. In fact several of the states without those rules have less violent crime. If you want to say each state is different, sure. But there is zero way of proving your hypothesis.
