“cRiMe” is not the issue, the unmet needs of people that motivate them to circumvent the system are the issue

No, crime is the issue. I get your point but meeting peoples needs won’t just end crime somehow. It will drastically reduce it, but it will always be an issue.

I’m generally against cops and “tough on crime” measures but you only have to look at a few high profile criminals to see that some extremely destructive crimes are committed by people whose every conceivable material need is met. Trump in particular is a great example. He’s also a great example of what happens certain crimes are not prosecuted.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We’re all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don’t like a thing doesn’t mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
