I want to see those people alive and enjoying their lives. Not such a big ask.

...well yeah that’s usually the way that crimes go, Brillo...the crime has to be committed first before the punishment can come...I mean, that horse has to bolt first surely...you can’t prevent something when you don’t know that thing is going to happen...building walls won’t prevent crime because it’s not just Mexicans who commit crimes in the USA...if they do though, they won’t get any special treatment...they do the crime, they serve the time like everyone else and all being equal...if crime is what Trump wants to prevent then that’s what he has to target and that’s what he has to focus on....’preventative’ is targeting high crime areas and the reasons for that, like poverty...?...and focusing some help and changes their with community care and policing...etc, etc...
