And generational punishments.
If we had a society that was willing to put violent criminals in jail, mentally impaired people who are dangerous into supervised treatment and execute habitual capital criminals you wouldn't need to starve anyone because half the people who currently live the "thug life" would realize risk vs reward no longer justifies shenanigans.
There is a reason Switzerland doesn't have crips n bloods and it isn't because there isn't any black people and they haven't heard any rap music. It is because as a society and a country they don't tolerate half of the criminal shit we tolerate.
Large segments of our population actually embrace that shit. Because of a movie, the real Henry Hill was a f-ing celebrity and he was a serious POS criminal, but because he sold out even bigger POS criminals he was seen as something other than the "f over everyone I can" career criminal that he was.
Ray Liotta played him in a movie and suddenly he's a sympathetic character and the real Henry Hill is doing spots on Howard Stern. Don't get me wrong, I love Goodfellas, Scarface, Casino and the rest of the genre, but I understand they are movies and even when it's based upon true events I view it as mostly fiction and remember the real people don't look like Robert Deniro, Joe Pesci or Ray Liotta.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
