[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did DC get cleaned up in the past , what is the current barrier to getting crime down [/quote]Most progressives are critical theorists so they view the poor as oppressed.  To them, street crime is justice.  That's why this won't be solved as long as leftists are in charge.  We need good moderate liberals and conservatives to come in and implement solutions that work in the real world, not just the world of make-believe that progressives live in.[/quote]

You are wrong. I am a progressive that believes that the poor are clearly oppressed in our society. The flaw in your nasty assumption is that I don’t think these kids are criminals because they are poor. [b]Poor people are not “more criminal” in nature than wealthy people. [/b]You are not a serious person and would rather tilt at windmills than discuss these issues reasonably. [/quote]You've clearly never been poor.  I have and poor people are far more prone to criminal activity than middle and upper class folks.  Any crime map or crime statistics will tell you this.  As a progressive, you are living in the land of make-believe where "data is white supremacy" so you're not allowed to use it.  So you are incapable of solving this issue.[/quote]

NP. What a load of bullshit and excuses.

My parents were both very poor immigrants from poor families on different continents. My father was homeless during much of his childhood. Other than taking food sometimes as a child in the 3rd world, he never stole a thing in his life, and we were raised to do/believe the same.

And upper/middle class people steal all the time, just more sneakily, and white collar, and through legal loopholes. Your SEC does not determine how much more prone to criminal activity you are.

It's almost as if it is not SES or skin color, but an issue of the culture you are raised around.   [/quote]

Does that make it right? Why is it okay not to parent? [/quote]
