Except the knowledge that there are consequences is a deterrent. Again, look at the London riots. No amount of bleating on the news about how oppressed all these poor black people were stopped it from spreading. Once it was seen that the police were helpless, the white underclass (and some of the not-so-underclass) joined in. Trying to brainwash everyone into living like one big, happy, I'm OK, you're OK, race-neutral, gender-neutral, religion-free Manson family hasn't worked even in Sweden, and it sure as hell won't work in any real country. |
So now you are suggesting that Sweden is not a real country?
We have far less poor people and crimes/hate crimes than the US. In fact, we have one of the greatest welfare systems in the world. We sympathize with our criminals and try to understand them so that crime-preventing actions will be more effective, and you put some of your criminals in the electric chair...
Think about it. How can you possibly know that the American treatment of criminals is better than ours?
