Almost nobody wants innocent people in jail. I think a good majority now would say simple drug use is not a good reason to incarcerate anyone. However, there are a lot of murders and rapes here and as Sanlmar so credibly points out we have a major problem with gun violence. People kill their own kids and put them in dumpsters. Horrific, unspeakable crimes happen here every day. Those who commit those crimes belong in jail, incapable of causing further harm to society. Nobody wants there to be injustice. I almost always respect and appreciate what you have to say Gimmick but, to point to our prison numbers as something other than there being a real and dangerous crime problem is not your best moment imo.
To be fair, country, you don't live in a city... far from it.

I live and work in one of the horrible cities you visualize when you post, and don't recognize at all what you describe.
Well Kunt, I actually live in Worcester now. My x wife and I have at least temporarily reconciled and we've been together in the family house since early December. I lived here 2005-16. When I got divorced I went a little crazy and wound up spending a bunch of time in the Springfield projects with a Puerto Rican mami sniffing a bunch of coke and partying like crazy with questionable characters. I also worked on the road as an insurance investigator and spent plenty of time on Blue Hill Ave in Dorchester, in the ghettos of Hartford and Bridgeport, in Roxbury, JP, Springfield, Holyoke, etc. I wasn't describing any particular American city only events that have taken place in some of them. As for Gimmick, that was an impressive response. I was half joking about him anyway and hope you and he know that. While we've literally been at war all my life those in Europe I'm sure still remember when the wars were there and never here. I'm quite sure Gimmick has seen plenty. Also if you see me posting late at night I'm usually high and with the combination of pills I take rn I get really messed up so its probably best to not pay much attention.
