>>3094396>they don't get into the drug trade because they view it as risk free and totally awesome, it's out of desperationI don't understand this argument.
You have a house, you have food on the table, you have TV, you have internet, you have your family. Why would to get desperate to the point you will murder someone?
Can't you at least make your argument more clear?
Your characterization of these people in Baltimore and Detroit seems to be rather negative. Are you by chance looking down on them?
And by the way, why are you ignoring there are people in poorer communities in Eastern Europe and China who doesn't turn their cities into murder capitals of the world?
You could argue they are even more desperate.
