From their reply, I am assuming white

in order to fix the corrections system you need to fix the entire legal system. from cops and jails to DAs Judges and laws

SOP, got it

Yeah I don’t actually care about grammar, and spelling, in such an informal setting, as long as I can understand what is being said. That being said, the commentary jokes are riffing on the grammar, so…

Did you kill the kid, beat them, or did you just throw them in jail?

The sentence is a question, even if rhetorical. When “you realize” is added to the sentence, you are turning it into a question, even if it is one you aren’t seeking an answer for. Anyway you look at this sentence, it is asking if they realize something.

Random demon: Both of you fucked up the ending punctuation of the sentence. It should end with a question mark.

There are lots of places where sleeping in your car is not legal.

Seems he resigned from that department but I can’t find anything about him other than a piece talking about his wife since then. Nothing about his stance on policing, his job, etc.

No idea actually. Haven’t heard much about him since the story came out. I will have to look up what came of this, if anything is out there to know.

Yeah, I am in my 40s and when people significantly older than me talk about how crime is worse than it has ever been I am always like “I guess you don’t remember 1970-2000”.

I never contradicted any of this, I don’t know of a modern one. You said they never existed… They did.

I responded to your comment that said they have never been a thing. never.

One of the cops’ spouse worked in the school and they had to physically restrain him from going in

Cab over engine trucks have existed for a very long time and have models that would absolutely have ~60% of their foot print be bed

The mass school shootings didn’t really take off off until the mid 2000s. So we are really just seeing the generation of constant mass shootings come into adulthood.

When columbine happened it was rare for that type of shooting to happen at a school. The actual rate of school shootings was rapidly dropping by the late 90s too. It is still much lower than it was, only these mass shootings has increased. So, with it being, at the time, a rare event, and shootings in schools on a rapid decline, it just didn’t hit the way it seems to have affected gen z/alpha.

Yeah lived in Appalachia, if you drove 1 or so hours out of the city, into the mountains you could find some wild shit.

I lived an hour away from a “church” that did shit like snake handling. They did not talk about their sect to strangers and were generally very wary of anyone not in their cult. Very strange people. Sorry you had to live through that.

A lot of this is because people had to do a lot more exercise during the day than we do now. Not that the lard was better for us. This is where a lot of the downvotes come from. Even the rich had to do a lot more walking. If we could return to the amount of exercise we averaged 50+ years ago, you would see a lot of this decline. The next big thing is the amount we eat. We consume significantly more calories now than we used to. In the past 100 years it has increased ~20%. All the while we have been doing less physically. The third big factor is where the shitty food comes in. Having sugar/highly refined carbs added to just about everything promotes over-eating, while also fucking with your insulin production, and other endocrine issues, that promote fat retention, while also increasing addictive eating disorder likelihood.
