There is an entire culture in America that lives on the other side of the law.
Education is the great equalizer. We give it away here for free. People who don't choose to educate themselves don't acculturate correctly and don't live within our lawful society. You can't blame society if education is there for the taking. You have to blame individual families for dropping the ball. Many of those families congregate in certain areas, usually cities like Vegas, LA, Detroit, ATL, etc.
I guess because education takes effort and commitment but crime and drugs are easy, many people choose the wrong path. They could change at any point, but usually don't. That is their own choice. I just get pissy that we have to support them in jail. They should have to come cut my grass or something to make it worth my while.
