Well, you have DC at the top and then you have a bunch of red states...so you are saying within each violent red state is a blue section where democrats disarm the law against criminals?  Ehh, you seem like you know what you are talking about, but still my point that it is all too easy to wash one's hands of these issues because "the side I'm not on is behind it" remains.  It's strange that other societies are able to be more liberal than we are without it leading to increased crime, if that is the case.  Is liberalism the unlocked door that we know we shouldn't take advantage of, but we just can't resist the temptation?

I haven't looked into this stuff in a while, but doesn't a lot of it go back to populations of uneducated males?  I recall that being a bit of a red flag.

I know I'm probably the first one to realize that... just a heads up to everyone else.

That's easy...release the non-violent drug offenders and use the money saved to lock up violent criminals for life, I guess.
