STUDY RESULTS
GIVING POOR PEOPLE MONEY REDUCES CRIME MORE THAN GIVING COPS THAT SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY
CONCLUSION
If you want to reduce crime, take care of your community’s primary needs instead of funding cops so much

Heh, you think we don’t know?

      This is your conclusion… My conclusion is to stop giving as much social support to people who abuse the mechanism.

      Maybe one thing that was not clear: If you were poor enough, government was not allowed to take your social support. Which means people were commiting offences and were not punished for them like the rest of us. They did not have to pay. Our jails are full and I hope you also do not want to put people in jail for minor offences.

          He’s talking about Roma people

          It’s racism, but OP doesn’t see it as such, because Roma people are apparently less human than other humans

            Well hello FistingEnthusiast! I’m not sure you responded to the right thread.

            I made a sarcastic comment that he took literally.

              Oh, I got your point

              I was explaining how OP’s racism is apparently different, because the people concerned are Roma

              The Roma have faced systematic discrimination for centuries, and they were among the groups Hitler was very enthusiastic about wiping out
