so what do you think
uh the causes of crime um i think it was an imbalance of of power in the United States that's causing the lower class class to rebel
that's why there's such such high crime in uh
there's crime in uh young people because they don't have real role models
yep
see too much crime on TV and they think it's way to go
i don't know what do you think
what about
i agree with the upper and lower level you know
um-hum
because that's the lowest thing for themselves plus there's nobody for them to look up to
yeah
but i also blame some of it on parents
okay
because parents aren't parents
yeah
because i remember even when i was growing up
i'm thirty five i remember when i was growing up and i had friends
okay
that used to do stuff like you know go to the store and steal stuff my mother warned us it's like i don't care what your friends do
if you do it then that was it i mean i knew that i would get mean more trouble from my mother than from
yeah
from anybody else
from anybody else and i think that's the basic is they have no morals anymore so they don't care
yeah
yeah
so
yeah i think i can agree with that too
but now as far as what they can do about it i don't know
you can't make parents be parents
that's true
you got to kind of make want people wanna do the right thing
you know
i don't know how you do that
i guess if you gave the gave them jobs that that's another problem with the United States there's no jobs anymore
yeah
well i i've heard this one theory that if you know if a kid commits a crime that they've instead of the prosecuting the kid they prosecute the parent or both of them
but
now put put the blame on the parent
that'll work to a point
well that'd work to a point because some kids are just bad anyway i don't care what you do to them
yeah
you know so i think it depends on how much trouble that kids has been in
you know
yeah
because uh a child can get into anything regardless i don't care who how good you they are
yeah
yeah
eventually at least one time but now if it's a repeated thing here with this child in juvenile and all this to me yeah both of them because that means she's still not doing what she's supposed to do
yeah
because i just watched it on TV one night on one of them um Twenty Twenty Forty Eight Hours one of them shows where this boy had been stealing cars
um-hum yeah
i don't know if you seen they was the gang a little it was a little gang of them stealing cars you know and then when they caught him you know his mother sitting there now they're gonna take me away from you that means she was warned
hm
no i didn't see it
yeah
but see by that i think that sometimes it a little late
yeah
you know but i'm sure there's something can be done
yeah what about with adults you think they can do anything about just adult regular adult crime
yeah start prosecuting they but really good instead of having a revolving door on the damn court system
yeah huh for well the major problem with that is the jails are overcrowded
well they should start with the the if they would get rid of seems to me i know there's a lot about courts that people don't understand there's more people in jail right now for child support
um-hum
okay then there are for people doing drugs
hm
they ought to take all them little misdemeanor people let them go let them go
yeah
yeah
you know give them a fine whatever make them do civic duty whatever put them fools in there that's what they need to put i call i call them all fools idiots whatever little rock stars put all them in there
yeah i mean seriously they ought to put those good people to work
yeah
hm
you know the murderers the the drug dealers the user put them all in jail you know and let all the normal people go
yeah
you know because okay
yeah
if you write a bad check you go to jail right
yeah
okay let them people go
yeah
not let them go and get out of it let them go and pay their crime or their time doing something else
well they
yeah they you still have to punish
yeah
you know like cleaning up the city or however they do they community time you know whatever that is but
yeah that's you know
put don't put them in jail because they're not hardened criminals
yeah and they're they're still they can
provide for society whereas some of them are so far gone that they can't do anything good for society
um-hum
yeah
so
i don't know them people boy they got the i think the United States has got too many problems to be worried about everybody else
yeah that's true
now how they gonna fix it i don't know the i don't think there is a ready solution
no i don't think so either um
because the economy is down people you know the the the low man on the pole is getting more of the i guess the bulk of it
yeah
uh he's gonna have to work extra hard just to make ends meet
and they keep taking more money from us yeah people and get and they don't have any incentive to work if we're just gonna take fifty percent of it
um-hum
yeah
they might as well steal it then they don't have to pay taxes on it
that's it
yeah
so you know they i i know that's bad but you know the just like Texas now
um-hum
they could of had a lottery they don't want a lottery why not
i would rather pay for a lottery a dollar two three dollars whatever i'm paying you know a week or whatever
they'd have a
yeah
and never see any of that money than to have them take a portion of my paycheck
yeah
because you know they take and Uncle Sam takes his the Social Security which probably won't be here when i get that old you know
hm
because we're payin g for Social Security they using now who's gonna pay for mine
yeah
yeah but it's it's nah you don't count on Social Security but it's it's that's what i'm saying they need to do something else
no i don't know definitely
i'm not counting on it
yeah
hm
but
crime is gonna go up as long as the economy stays down
yeah
and it's gonna get worse that's just like last night they killed them people in that store where you at
yeah
uh i'm in Raleigh North Carolina
oh no wonder you don't know then
why where are you from
they killed
i'm in Dallas
okay
but last night they killed uh uh four people in a chain food
oh man
and killed them well it was two stores side by side
um-hum
one was a store and one was like a a fast food place i think it chicken or something i don't know anyway they raped the women
yeah
beat them all up including the women i mean they just beat them
stuffed them in the freezer and then shot them all
ow
now why was you know dumb
why did they do it in the freezer
you know why didn't they just if they was gonna lock just lock them in the freezer take the money you know they didn't have to kill them or rape them or anything
yeah
hm
hm
that's awful yeah we still get some in Raleigh i mean not not too often real bad ones but
um-hum
it's just getting really ridiculous down here i wish i could move somewhere where this you know you got to like in the country but
i don't think there's anywhere where there isn't gonna be crime so
well i think if it's the town is smaller
um-hum
and everybody knows everybody it's harder to come in there and do something
yeah yeah
where is and and and see that's another thing neighborhoods aren't neighborhoods anymore
yeah
there's nobody next door to you you don't know your neighbors and stuff like that
yeah
it's just huh-uh you know because i moved out some apartments before because they were loaded with drug dealers
hm
and you didn't even and the what the manager the manager won't even do anything
he's probably drug dealer himself never know
um-hum
you don't and so i moved because i moved the day probably a week after one of the apartments blew up
wow
you know and this is like across the street this was a nice part of town
hm
and then across the street one of the apartments blew up because they were having that making that um
crack stuff and then the other time i saw the cops break down somebody's apartment around the corner i said see this is it
hm
time to go
that's it and i moved and you know now i live in like a family a neighborhood in a townhouse but it's nice i don't you know
yeah
yeah i'm kind of in the same same kind of deal townhouse in the neighborhood
but
it's pretty nice
i don't know how they can let a neighborhood or apartment complex that's what happened that's what's wrong you know
i don't think don't rent to them or rent to them evict them because they drug dealers put it on the lease if you deal drugs you can't live here
yeah
yeah
yeah
most of them too scared to do anything about it
um-hum
that's it
yeah
all right well listen i got to go it's good talking to you
well
alrighty and i thank you bye-bye
alrighty bye-bye
