[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New Yorker here. There IS a marked difference in the daily way of life in New York. I was all for policing and cj reform for years, but this is a failed experiment. And not because I no longer believe there are systemic injustices that shape the lives of criminal offenders. This is completely true. I know because I lived in that world. But simply failing to convict these crimes is NOT the answer. The answer involves significant social and education reform. Which isn’t happening. And even if done well, it will take some time to feel the effects.

In the meantime, punks are now running rampant more than ever, fearless of retribution (because there often is none) and my city is a cesspool. When I was growing up, at least there was good fear of police to curb the bad apples to *some* degree.  Now that seems to be almost nil.

So a) stop your armchair activism from your cushy lives. You speak of nothing you know and you are actually doing more harm than good. B) In major cities across the country, only now that this level of dysfunction and inhumanity is seeping into the more affluent areas, is there at least some pushback. Ironic and part of the initial systemic inequities, but we will take what we can get!

We need to get our cities and country in order. Hard on crime AND education and social reform from early years onwards. The latter needs significant investment and the right leaders at the helm. We have none of that.

First order of action though: crack down on this bullshit. Clean up the streets. I’m sick and tired of this.  Act up, you get locked up.  [/quote]

This is not what social justice reform is, honey. Sorry you are learning this too late. We need to keep american cities crime ridden, in poverty and government dependent as much as possible. We need to indocrenate, not educate american children starting early on. [/quote]
