I've only ever binge-watched one show and didn't get into it until a couple months ago.
it's called the first 48. It's a show that details the investigation and solving of real murders.
I've watched at least 20 episodes so far, each one detailing the conviction of murderer. So far two of those convicted of murder have been white.

It is amazing to see the culture and attitude towards killing that is demonstrated by the suspects.
No respect for life, little or no conscience, no real differential between right and wrong.
Just remorse for getting caught.
Nothing else. They are victims because they were unlucky enough to get caught.

Last week the Po-PO investigated the murder of a 44 year old grandmother, who was baby-sitting her 4 year old grandchild. She was a grandmother by age 40. Non-believable in my world. She was killed because she was a drug dealer BTW.

Saw a show last night where a guy shot through the front door of a house because some low-life bimbo made off with his $20. Killed a guy who wouldn't open the door, over $20.
He was maybe 20 years old and had a police record.
When handcuffed he asked his cousin to "take care of my sons".


We can give them people money, we can give them BS jobs, we can give them free housing, food stamps, handouts all day long.

won't change anything except give them more excuses to kill one another.

Change the culture, change the way they are raised and taught.
Nothing else will matter.
That has to happen BEFORE they go to the penitentiary.
That has to happen before they become teens, after that it's too late and the best we can do is WAREHOUSE them to keep others safe.

Blaming their deficiencies as human beings on the prison system falls somewhere between naive and dishonest.
