People are tired of being held hostage by violent, destructive, subhuman pieces of shit such as you and those whose side you take against us.
Except 83% of homicides are not career criminals, they are people who got into altercations with their family, friends or neighbors.
Sure, we have a higher crime rate than other industrialized nations, but that's because we've decided that grinding poverty is acceptable in the world's richest country, the mentally ill don't deserve treatment, and we need to treat addiction as a criminal problem instead of a medical one. (Unless you are Rush Limbaugh, of course.)
The thing is, you want to treat the symptom I want to treat the disease.
