re: 13yo steals woman’s purse, punches her in the face, other teens ransack her belongings

You could eliminate this in one generation. Require every person receiving welfare to get sterilized. You have no constitutional rights to welfare nor having kids; so, you have a choice to make: have kids, or receive that check. There is no justification for the producers of this society to pay non-producers to procreate the very offspring who victimize us - and that we would have to support with our tax dollars when they are non-producers.

It would be very interesting and amusing to watch the mental gymnastics the liberals and Democrats (and all the moderates on here) would go through fighting this after bleating about "Choice!" for half a century as it pertains to abortion.
