    And that’s the thing. Yeah on paper this guy only committed you know, a few hundred million dollars worth of crime. No biggie. But what’s the downstream effect of that? A single mother couldn’t afford a house that should have been affordable so had to move to a poverty stricken area. She no longer had access to a safe and reliable grocery store so her kids get sick more often. Her son missed a lot of school from illness so he fell behind. With poor grades he lost his chance of higher education and eventually due to proximity got in with a gang. He dies at 17 in gang violence. Can you directly tie the two together? Not in a court of law, but that’s the reality with shit like this.
