I started packing a small Sig P365 at the course each trip we go. I have been going once a week for years after this just reminded me how exposed you are at the course and what could be lurking around the next green.
If the gang bangers disappeared those they terrorize could breath again, and start to build for a future rather than subsist in fear in the present. It isn’t white people, it isn’t the cops, it isn’t what happened decades or more than a century ago … it’s people who used to be someone’s precious baby but who are right now violent habitual criminals.
What makes you think they aren’t already doing this? Threats of prison aren’t really a deterrent for gang members. Some of them don’t mind going in because they have meals and other gang members in there to protect them.
Why does “poverty” exist? The answer is because those entering adulthood with the opportunity to make money, are ill equipped. When an education is free, the answer for not having an education is because they didn’t apply themselves to earn their education. The reason for not applying one’s self is because as a child, you’d rather do what you want more so than what you need to do. That’s where a father comes in…to say…you will go to school, apply yourself, learn and try for excellent grades doing so. When that doesn’t happen, the child is ill prepared and they now most probably, will live a life in poverty.
