re: Visited the Angola Rodeo and Craft fair and was amazed what I saw. Can good come from bad?

It’s far more nuanced than that. I think of history. Violence and bloodshed were commonplace throughout the long march. Killers and thieves and reavers lived alongside everyone else. There weren’t the massive penitentiaries where men could be locked up for breaking any one of the myriad laws in a system. Killers have been in our midst from the beginning. The men who built the world were killers and conquerers. And we celebrate some of them today. And i’m Not just talking about murderers. I’m sure there are people there locked up for crimes that threatened the state more than society.

The murder rate was a lot higher before we started locking these psychos up. We live in the safest time.

Again, if you want to live next to them go for it. I’m not gunna stop you.

Now if you want to talk about nonviolent crimes that’s a different story. But most of the guys in Angola weren’t dealing weed
