    @89th said in Rep. Omar blames crime spike on...the police:

    I love how the 2 reasons for an increase in crime.... do not include the criminals.

    It shouldn't. Omar's a moron but so is anyone who thinks crime increases are the result of X number of bad people waking up one morning and deciding to do some crime instead of going to work. Crime is never crime per se; it's always downstream of social forces.

    There are a lot of people in this world who have crime as a full time job.

      I thought relentless shaming was a tool we use to prevent bad people from doing bad things. Maybe I was only thinking of the vaccination conversations.

      Education is extremely important.

        No, you're right, it applies there, too. How's that working out, by the way?

          I am sure shame plays a large role in preventing crime. In some cultures or families more than others.

            As Aqua said, downstream of social and economic forces. It can be one’s best option. When I graduated puter school there were no jobs. None. So I went back to trafficking for a few months. It got me through until something opened up and I dropped it like a hot rock.

              Sure does. To a point. And provided society's working as it should in about a dozen ways that influence crime rates.

                Back when you graduated puter school I rather doubt there were any puters.

                I was only joking
