Well, not to get rid of the FDA or its strict requirements, but to eliminate the entire "perscription" system and make everything over-the-counter

Basically the comic is showing how the crowd cares more about what the police officer is doing to the criminal by hurting his wrists, then the massive crimes said person has committed.

I'm assuming the point trying to be made is that the reason there is so much crime is because local communties tend to overlook the crimes of "Their own" and instead focus on others wrongdoings while ignoring what they've done.

Which to be fair is very common in the area I work at.  Though where I work at in Las Vegas there is no racial divide.    Black, Hispanic, White, everybody gets along perfectly fine, with "Battle lines" being drawn due to specific slights towards each other, and then people joining in, or just believing the side of the person they like more, assuming the other is completely to blame.  Hence there is no accountability or change in behavior.  When someone gets out of jail, it's the police's fault for arresting them, not that they stole someone or beat someone so bad they were put in a hospital, or the other guys fault for "starting" it by saying something stupid.

Also strangely enough it's rarely long lived.  I've seen a guy pull a knife on another guy's throat having to be convinced by someone else not to use it, and then seen those two people hang out and act like friends a week later.

Really?  So you think that highly addictive painkillers and anti-depressant drugs (which more people in the US abuse and overdose on than any "illegal" drug every year) should be available over the counter?  That's taking things a bit far, isn't it?  In a country where salt and sugary foods and drinks are being banned because they make people who consume way too much of them fat, we're going to make prescription drugs easier for just about everyone to access?

The inner city schools are the best funded in much of the country. Often times the rural schools are the least funded. I do agree that inner city schools are way over funded. Around $25,000 per year per student in DC. Students go to school for K through 12 which is 13 years, but many are held back a year so $25,000 per student times 14 is just too much money. In many rural areas the funding is only 1/3 that amount.

Alright. I guess I don't know many specifics about the US. If funding is that high, what is it about the schools that is preventing kids from going to college?

That's the traditional US system. It worked for 100s of years in the US. It was working OK when the system changed. Changing the system caused more harm than good. We should abandon the communist like medical system we have now and go back to the traditional US system. What do you have against the US tradition that worked for 100s of years? You know, where children were allowed to be sent to town at age 12 in the Summer to buy alcohol or powerful pain meds for a family that was busy on the farm.
