When you start talking about actual human people in terms of "getting rid" of an "anti-social element" you know you've got an issue figured out and are definitely on the right side of it.
- lurk2 2y ago700 murders and 10,000 armed robberies per year.
- stephen_g 2y agoThat's wild - the country I live in (Australia) has 10x the population of Chicago but only half as many homicides per year. It's hard to imagine that many in one city...
- jobs_throwaway 2y agoYes, people who rob, murder, and shoot guns in crowded urban areas are anti-social and should be removed from society. This is 100% the right side of the issue and I can't believe anyone would pretend otherwise.
- giraffe_lady 2y agoPeople who oppose you aren't pretending, I have sincere and deeply held objections to this sort of language and the actions they precede. Anyway where are you even going to put them, where is a place outside of society? If you're thinking of prisons, why do we have this problem in the first place if we already imprison more people than any other country. If this hasn't worked so far what will be different when you do even more of it? Why are other countries able solve this issue in other ways? A sincere & informed commitment to reducing violence quickly takes you in very different directions from this one. It's other values that have you itching to eliminate people you find undesirable.
