It's all very concerning. It is amazing that I have lived in my own personal paradise growing up, and just never saw or understood the reality of black on white crime before coming onto the internet. Etc. Etc. This particularly concerns me:
"Then there is the Mayor of Seattle, who insists that felons who have been caught committing crimes seven or eight times might be stealing your wallet or a pair of sneakers because they are “hungry,” and thus no criminals should be jailed."
I immediately think of the 3rd world and people coming up through the Darien Gap. (I understand that horde has slowed down for now - but could resume again.) Or on boats. Or coming on planes. Etc. Isn't this a call and justification for invasion of America by the 3rd world also? And genocide of Americans?
Aren't those in Central America, Africa, India, and all over the 3rd world "hungry"? So, shouldn't then it be understood why they come streaming across the border and the feel the need to kill Americans to take from us our houses, cars, clothes, and everything we Americans own? Because the 3rd world is "hungry"? Because we white Americans have more than the black and brown people who want to come to American to have "the American dream" (everything we worked for and built)?
I just hear this guy saying that white Americans deserve to die because we have more in America than his poor family and friends have had in their 3rd world nations.
The arguments for excusing crimes, whether mundane or horrific, on the basis of circumstances of birth, is above all a cruel insult to every law abiding person who has grown up in difficult circumstances. Not just an insult but a grave moral hazard. If the only consequence of obeying the law is to have less material wealth and less status than your peers, social collapse soon follows.
I think that this article plays to my bias and tells me what I already knew. Thanks. Good article.
Thanks! Hopefully it will get more people using his lordship’s quote about hangings
I really did like the Lordship's quote as a lead-in. Nicely done.
Thank you!
