I agree. Writing laws don't really matter when the people that are in charge of protecting said rights and laws huff gasoline.

You can be the freeset country on planet Earth but if the people are absolutely retarded with no sense of right or wrong... Well you get stories like this. When people don't want to look out for each other you get crackheads cause there's some serious cognitive dissonance between American exceptionalism and what happens in the day to day of peoples lives.

This is why harm reduction is so important

I'd argue it requires a reform of an entire culture to adapt to the circumstances.

Harm reduction is nice(trying anything at this point would be a significant improvement) sure but it's about changing the way that people think and improving the situation so shit like this doesn't happen in the first place(people don't feel loyalty nor respect for each other in this country). Shit maybe make better for people to move up with jobs, infrastructure, adding back shop, civic's and firearms training classes. Anything to can get people in this country to care for their fellow man for more than 5 seconds.

Well said.

Reducing recidivism rates is actually a smart investment, I'd argue if, you truly want to decrease crime that is directly caused by desperate people in desperate need, eliminating that desperation would pay dividends.

But, something something socialism.

Ideas are more powerful than any rifle.

Show some compassion.
