Every day Police round up, arrest, and have a conviction rate
in Riverside that is quite amazing, considering. The escalation
of crime due to drugs is down right scary. Dangerous Living is
not only about Seniors, the poor, and the wealthy looking at
their bottom-line only. It's about LAWS that many times
conflict.
Drug-related crimes
Alcohol-related crime
Of the adult US population, at least 75% are drinkers; and
about 6% of the total group are alcoholics. In groups which are
almost 100% drinkers, the alcoholism rate is about 8%. Many
reports state that about 73% of felonies are alcohol-related. One
survey shows that in about 67% of child-beating cases, 41% of
forcible rape cases, 80% of wife-battering, 72% of stabbings,
and 83% of homicides, either the attacker or the victim or both
had been drinking.[2]
It wasn't so long ago that folks here didn't want any more BS or excuses as to why Criminals are
more important than honest folks rather poor or not.

create the state’s Three Strikes Law.
But look at the picture folks, the poor, middle class and others surround the air with trying to get
something done. As I always said; The Dead, are always teaching, The Living... How To LIVE.
The mindless sculpting of our kids brains is
pandemic. It's cool to take drugs, cool to act like a
fool, cool to dress like a “thug,” cool to act scary,
cool to terrorize. All “lifestyle” geared up to “gotta
buy it now” attitudes driven by the not so honest
Advertising and Marketing White Collar level.

It would seem that, what we lack here is pure acceptance, and allowing a person's full expression
to develop into the many levels of their own hearts expression. Here's what really gets me
Readers, Angel of Alternative Styles Wetpaint does go one step further in her description....
Here's is where we need to wake up to the "root cause" of why someone would choose the Thugz
life....
"A Thug can be described a few different ways. One of them is growing up in poverty dealing
with struggles every single day and feeling that life is hopeless like they have no future all there is
look forward to is another drug deal, crime, etc that is one way of a thug.
A Thug can also be described as a person who has lead a life of crime, a few example of a thug
would be robbing people to supply their drug habits, bank robberies, killing people, you know
the rest that's another way of describing a thug.
Another way of putting it is you can be a thug if you have nothing in store for you, you don't take
shit from anyone, your depressed and having nothing left to give, and don't have a care in the
world about anything."
What are we doing here? Why would a child feel this way? Are we so consumed that we have
forgotten where we came from, and the judgments we faced growing up? Worst of all, are we that
fearful of our own Children and Grandchildren? What "shit" are they having to take from their
own blood relatives let alone a world?
I see it here where I live, black kid goes into the business of illegal drug-related stuff. The DEA
Undercover finally gets the kid off the streets. BUT the financial gain made by the Owner and
cohorts is years in the making at the expense of the honest hard working folks here at Santiago
Estates. The sane and the insane, the criminal on two sides of the same coin, the appendages of
Greed Gone Wild.
Crime is Crime, you see it and let it in and do nothing, that's still a crime. The Owner knew this
place has a problem, choose to accept blood money instead, coerced a willing Management, and
beat down a Committee to make his bottom-line not shrink. Thereby becoming “an accessory to
the Crime.”
Ohhhhhh the Ethical within the madness of all of this must be screaming in tears at night, to a
God of “their choosing.” The Sane Vs the Insane. Oh yes... God, Christians, and Ethics. Seems
the kindness of Jesus died along time ago. For this God is MONEY. This God is Brutal, Vengeful,
and Self Absorbing. YOU do not matter and YOUR children are nothing but pawns in a
workshop that produces their Advertising profit and resale value profit. I'm told “just Love the
people anyway.” Ok, that can be done, and......
