Savages like this were the reason that my Native American ancestors took scalps and displayed them on effigy poles outside the village. This custom originated long before the white man arrived on these shores. A would be punk and his gang seeing an effigy pole or three full of scalps was inclined to move on if he valued his life. Hope we don’t have to revert to that custom in the U.S.A., but it is beginning to look like we might.

Actually, scalping was originally a technique used by the Spanish to prove they’d killed Indians in order to claim bounties.

Learn history. The truth is out there.

At one time, this type of citizen lived in large buildings within the borders of large cities. It made taking care of them easy and schools and shopping were within walking distance. But citizens outside the big cities didn't have the pleasure of interacting with the charges, so their numbers preyed on each other - the violence was concentrated.

So it was established that the large structures would be destroyed and vouchers would be provided, and the souls would be scattered into otherwise stable neighborhoods - to introduce normal Americans to feral youth. Now normal Americans could see what their taxes were paying to support and they could enjoy the excitement they brought to the neighborhood. So now independent communities needed more government support to keep the predators in check.

And government grew.
