Many people in these high crime hotspots, have long learned to not even bother calling the police either when it comes to certain crimes. In fact just recently a guy I know was violently assaulted in a large city, and when he tried to get the police to come take an assault report, they refused. It ...

Josh says nothing about the age of the unwed parents, and does not mention locking them up. Neither in the OP nor any of the subsequent posts. In fact, the OP asks what the punishment should be, rather than prescribing one. "Punishment by the law." which are the words used by Josh in the ...

Waging wars of aggression is the ultimate wrong here. And also the ultimate war crime. As the Nuremburg Trials concluded: War is essentially an evil thing. Its consequences are not confined to the belligerent states alone, but affect the whole world. To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is n...

Note that big cities like L.A. and NYC stopped reporting crime statistics to the FBI. Consequently, statistics show that crime is down, since the biggest, most dangerous cities aren't reporting anymore. That is a different issue from whether NYC and LA report crime statistics in their cities. They ...

Ken, The topic was justice, and I specifically brought up murder and how to avoid it. Other deaths such as your alleged deaths from not getting vaccinated (my opinion is that those vaccines cause more deaths than they present) is, well, offtopic. Try to stay on topic. A lot of people don't want to ...

So being murdered by a complete stranger is exceedingly rare. 2000 people being murdered each year in the US is not something I would call "exceedingly rare". I know of people who have been murdered by strangers. No? How does that compare to some other forms of death. How about COVID? To ...

I haven't seen any vengeance here. But a call for justice and punishment. Which is unusual. I'm not calling for punishment without knowing more about the details of this case. Perhaps they merit conviction, perhaps they don't. That is what the trial is for. I do think it is appropriate for society ...

If you're careful (like me) to make sure that nobody who knows you wants to kill you, then the main way someone like me will get murdered is by a stranger. So despite Ken claiming it's "exceedingly rare", it's the biggest risk I face. No it isn't the biggest risk of death that you face. T...
