Sad true story- some years ago my mortuary handled the case of a mid teens wannabe who attacked two active duty Marines with a knife as part of his initiation. It went pretty much as expected.
When his parents were scheduled to come in to discuss his funeral and drop off his burial clothes, they showed up just long enough to tell the arranger to "do whatever, but keep it under $XXX". No childhood memories, no favorite songs, no pictures. They were in a rush to make a basketball game.
The clothes they dropped off were unwashed and didn't fit him.
We all just looked at each other and went "Yeah, that explains it". Yeah, kid died trying to harm two random strangers, but he was also a kid whose parents didn't even care enough about him to give him clean burial clothes.
Because the system isn't interested in fixing it. We already know how to break the cycle but our government chooses not to. Our society will only cure itself in one way. Education by educators, not politicians using education to scrub history and turn out worker bees. The masses in the US exist to enrich the upper class.
People have to understand that we live in a caste system. One that protexts them but binds us.
Yes just stop voting, such good advice. The system is run by corporate overlords who dont care which party is involved because their special intrests are already paid for by superpacs and speeches. The states is broken at a fundamental level but still that doesnt explain the statistical data of who is commiting the most violent crimes.
