Look you can joke about this all you want, but I wasn't just going to let gimmick sit there and post that I was the sheltered mama's boy who didn't see the life outside the suburban bubble, while he hung out with Sven the Swedish bandido at the Miljonprogrammet.
I spent a lot of time hanging out in shit areas of southern CA when I was younger, probably more time than I should have, now that I look back on it. These days I have much less exposure to shitty areas unless I'm going to play poker, but back in the day I saw plenty.
The guy is living in Finland which has tiny pockets of crime here and there, so it's a lot easier to sit there from 6,000 miles away and talk about how the US should be handling its longtime chronic problem. Mighty easy to keep releasing 'em back on the street as part of a grand leftist social experiment, if you have a big ocean separating you from them.
