Would you be surprised to hear that some people are desperate and resort to gangs and theft because other opportunities have been closed off? How about that we have mass untreated mental illness and people resort to drugs to self medicate? How about that mental illness is still misunderstood even now, leaving people to commit “crimes” such as loitering and being threatening even though what they just need is healthcare? How about that the war on drugs is really what made our prison population sky rocket and the massive increase started in the 1980’s? How about that mass incarceration does nothing to affect violent or property crime?
Awful large wall of text stating exactly what I said.
Nobody forces you to commit crime. You make your own choices.
You want to self medicate with drugs and can’t handle your shit, you belong in prison or in the ground. You have a mental illness that you decide you don’t want to treat and threaten someone, you belong in prison or in the ground.
There is no lack of opportunity in the US, no matter your upbringing or where you’re from. You wanna keep that victim mentality, go for it, but nobody gives a fuck.
