The issue is that the wrong people are filling up the system. We are flooded with drug offenders because of the failed drug war, and then it makes financial strains so high that violent criminals are released too often. If we were to reserve our system for only violent offenders and find other forms of rehabilitation and education for others we would be in much better shape. | ||

Become this way for sure, it has to do with culture more than anything. Just so were clear im not saying that this couldn't happen anywhere in the world, just that certain cultures will make it occur more often. | ||

The events that lead to this event, high incarceration, etc. are complex. Saying things like ban all guns or execute them all just get us nowhere and have probably even contributed to the current condition. Complex problems deserve complex thought, and it would do us good to have some introspection about what are the causes of this behavior and how to limit it. | ||

These shooters aren't the typical death row inmate that suffered from a horrible childhood and was abandoned by society. That's a completely separate topic of discussion and is obviously the "real" problem in terms of total cost to society. The kinds of shootings publicized in the news are executed by, for the lack of a better word, "crazy" people. They're the outliers and frankly they're being encouraged by the media to act on their delusion. | ||

How can there be a thread with any real discussion involving a felon shooting a bunch of firefighters and not allow folks to talk about guns? I understand that people get pissy about it one way or another, but otherwise it's just 'well gosh that sucks' without really talking about anything useful. I don't read General as often as I'd like, but do these threads just go full retard each an every time without accomplishing anything? I guess that'd make sense. | ||
