    It wouldn't be a "destructive career choice" at all if it was decriminalized. Instead of treating people in the vice economy like criminals, we'd be praising them for their entrepreneurial spirit. Be a bit more open-minded. Your bias is showing.

    OK, throw them all in prison.

    Agreed?

    1. It doesn't seem like a neglected problem to me. I feel like I've heard a lot of coverage about Chicago's continuing gang problem -- but maybe I'm just more attuned to it because I used to live there.

    2. This 'treat them like terrorists' does indeed sound like a semantic shell-game. Is he saying we should ship them to Guantanamo and try them with military tribunals? Have the FBIcrawling over everything to bring federal charges? Maybe use so some enhanced interrogation techniques or render them to third world countries for torture? No. He just wants to see a little more outrage from everyone all the time. And, what exactly will that accomplish?

    If it was White on Black crime, the National Guard would be there.

    If it was white on white, it would have been cracked down on already.

    it's black on black crime that has been cracked down since the crack started trickling down in the 80s.

    No such thing
    There are just white people who need counseling
    they are not criminals/terrorist or thugs
    just misunderstood and mentally unstable.
