[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crime has nothing to do with color. Crime has to do with socio-economics. I moved from Denver to DC, the criminals here are white.

I'm back in DC for the holidays.

This is an economic issue. Why send billions of dollars to the Ukraine & Israel but pay $17/ hour for minimum wage?

No one can build a family on that wage. Safe Communities are built upon families feeling economically secure.

This is a trickle effect of crime. [/quote]

Yes, we should not be giving billions to Israel and Ukraine. And yes, minimum wage should be increased.

But you're wrong about this being a SEC thing. Criminals aren't carjacking because they need a vehicle to go somewhere - they're doing it for fun. You don't see new Afghan immigrants working at Target robbing people for their coats. You don't see refugees to the US or immigrants starting over, doing anything criminal. Blaming crime on SEC is absurd. What it is, is a lapse in ethics, values, and parenting.
