[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious to see how rich DC people keep crime out of their neighborhoods now that they aren't willing to use police.[/quote]

The idea is to basically call in social workers for non-violent seeming people on drugs and talk them down from their high rather than involve the police. Maybe it will work. I’m not too sure about all the other slap on the wrist stuff like the youth rehabilitation act, not chasing the 100 kids on dirt bikes who roam the city, etc. this city is basically laying the blame on society for crime, which to some degree is true given the terrible historic legacy and impacts of slavery.[/quote]

The legacy of slavery is an historic explanation (and not even for most aspects of current crime wave -- look to drugs and broken families for that). It is not an excuse. Violent criminals are responsible for their own actions and should be punished accordingly. [/quote]

Most slaves were thrilled when they were free so that they could marry and have their families intact.  The worse thing the Great Society did was to reduce marriage among the descendants of slaves.    Centuries later it is time to stop attributing criminal activity to slavery.  [/quote]
