This woman is the only white on New York City’s most wanted list. Of the remaining 34, 33 are black or Hispanic (or both), with one Middle Easterner. Non-Hispanic whites represent far more than 3% of that city’s population.

“what does that say about our society?”

it says we’re losing the war against our own government, where probably every single person breaks at least one law per day, and ignorance of the law is now excuse.

not to change the subject or anything, but what does that say about our government ?

“i wonder how many are in for non-violent drug related crimes?”

“I think we should make all the prisoners spend 8 hours a day pedaling exercise bikes plugged into energy storage devices. They could at least power their own prisons.

I heard about this once. excess power runs to a chair.
those who won’t pedal can sit in the chair :-)

she was in the apprehended column.

She was the only woman and the only white on the whole page.

Move along.

The violence is not caused by those selling the drugs, it is caused by those committing crimes to get money to buy the drugs.

“And the problem is.....?”

It takes a whole big pile of your money and mine. It’s become a self-perpetuating business.
