I was discussing what you refer to as thugs, which is your code word to
describe a portion of black society. These are not the same people as
most of the mass shooters that do their work in schools, movie theaters,
shopping centers, killing students, teachers, et cetera. And, yes,
hunger breeds violence, joblessness breeds violence, poverty breeds
violence, homelessness breeds violence, illness breeds violence.
Why are they hungry? We have a pretty elaborate welfare system. They can
afford guns, and bullets. Lots are fat. Why do they drop out of school at
rates that are many times higher than the non thugs? Seems as if violence
and drugs breeds a culture of violence and drugs. Maybe we should stop the
war on drugs. And the drug problem would decrease. We have spent
trillions on the War on Poverty, and if anything we have a higher rate now
then when LBJ started the war. Maybe the war against s the problem?
