RE: This Is 2018, There Must Be A Better Way
It really is a sad day when you cant even stand on the side of the road and not worry for your safety. It's become a worry for me as a father that should my wife or kids break down on a road somewhere, that there are so many chancers milling around, that they are under real threat to being harmed and robbed.
And there is so much to change before this gets better. Its not just poverty that is the issue. We have a police workforce that is not working as it should, leaders that set the wrong example to public servants and public at large, teh success of crime, courts that dont hold people accountable for the crimes they do commit, prisons that cultivate a criminal connection rather than stave it off.....its all out of control.
My heart goes out to those poor people having to work in that environment
