I have long been a fan of Dr. Walter Williams, an economics professor at George Mason University. The man is consumed with common sense. Therefore today when I read the following, I decided to share his insight on law and order.
Walter Williams: "Politicians who call for law and order are often viewed negatively, but poor people are the most dependent on law and order. In the face of high crime or social disorder, wealthier people can afford to purchase alarm systems, buy guard dogs, hire guards and, if things get too bad, move to a gated community. These options are not available to poor people. The only protection they have is an orderly society. Ultimately, the solution to high crime rests with black people. Given the current political environment, it doesn't pay a black or white politician to take those steps necessary to crack down on lawlessness in black communities."
Maybe it’s time to change the political environment.
