Conflict resolution and anger management should be required courses in school. But I don’t know if you can fix racism. It’s so irritating when the cops immediately say, oh, it’s gang-related. Part of the reason there are gangs is because people can’t find support anywhere else, and as hard as it is to believe, gangs can offer safety from… a lot of different things.
Of course, this state loves its guns, and there is basically no impediments to owning one. Cost me over $300 to get a medical cannabis card for one year, but I can buy all the guns I want, whenever I want, with nothing more than my driver’s license, if that.
