I wish I were surprised to see this article was authored by Rachel Kushner. Pick a crime, thoughtcrime even, that impacts her personally and prepare to see the gremlin watered.

Yes, of course. The problem with crime is the punishment. We just need to get rid of that an all will be well.

Liberals and conservatives are both wrong about this though. The liberals blame society. The conservatives blame the criminals. I say the problem is genetics. Low IQ, high testosterone = culture of violence = crime. That's it.
