re: #317 Fairly Sure I’m Still Obdicut

This is so simplistic it’s hard to take seriously. How did the violent get to be ‘the violent’? If you don’t remove the conditions that create a violent underclass, how on earth do you think this is a solution?

What on earth does this have to do with whether you can eradicate gangs by arresting people in the gangs?

Do you understand why people join gangs in the first place?

Perhaps you confuse my brevity with simplicity. From that perspective it’s not at all hard to take seriously.

I’d love to see very broad & long term efforts to deal with that complex issue. But not as a distraction from how to reduce gang violence today by way of understanding from the FBI stats where a huge chunk of the problem resides.
