I'm here for the sarcasm and porn. If I wanted inspiration I would have watched The Sandlot.

I am a retired probation chief. Studied crime and offender profiles of tens of thousands of convicted and arrested offenders. The single largest factor in becoming a criminal is exposure to crime in the family unit. The younger the age and the more time exposed to crime the more the chance of wntering the justice system.

But you are correct, and that the vast majority of law enforcement response to crime, whether that be by the police, probation and corrections is almost always a cleanup, and not a preventive measure.

But you have the formula entirely backwards. Our poorest cities spend more on education per student than any other place in the country. I live in New York. New York City spends $43,000 per student per year. Yet they graduate tens of thousands of illiterate 12th graders every single year.

Schools are good and healthcare is good and government is well run when people are engaged in their communities and have a vested interest in them.

If you took people from poor inner city neighborhoods and put them in well run municipalities, they would turn into the same mess they lived in before. And if you took the people who lived in the nice communities and put them into the middle of the ghetto, they would fix it and make it nice. Happens all the time. they call it gentrification.

Your values and how you live, determine the culture and character of your community, not vice versa.

@ClimateWarrior7 Oh no, not a hail storm. Oh. My. God. Not that. Hail. It's never happened before. Ever. The end is near. Oh no.

@THEHORRORGOTH You're so right. We definitely need more hip-hop & pop, backed by 100% machine produced music. Definitely.

@zkdculture A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice singing a traditional country song, after 2 decades of overly produced, electronic pop-country? Yeah, shocking people like it. Cope harder.

@kimmie_c_ 90 minutes, plus a few extra minutes for drama class.

@GusemanTanya @FreddyLA7 Are you aware that nobody gives a shit about your opinion and that you should let Freddy and his friends enjoy their time in the US without your input? I bet you boo the kids at Little League games when they celebrate their teams scoring runs.

@proudgrandpa00 @TheJFreakinC Could also be air marshals. Could be anything, including nothing described in the post.

@AJEnglish Cool stat, bro. Under what circumstances did they die? Context matters.

[Irish Johnson @ridin_philthy]

@laralogan Oh, the drama. "Middle of nowhere Texas" is where the nicest people on planet earth live.

Social media is the worst thing to ever happen to these people.

@Timcast I have business in Vegas and can tell you from direct experience: Vegas is feeling the price elasticity of demand. The operators in the biggest driver of it economy, tourism, have priced themselves out of the market. People have choices & they're choosing elsewhere.

@RichOToole Bad pizza, too

@ChrisMurphyCT Dude, you have the credibility of a Somali day care operator
