The March of Folly

 According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri, homicides in St. Louis decreased by more than 50% during the 12 weeks the Operation has been in place compared to the 12 weeks prior. The city saw 111 homicides from May 12 to Aug. 12 compared to 52 homicides between Aug. 13 and Nov. 5. Overall crime has decreased by 26.6% since the Operation began.  [More]

That means, in spite of throwing all the king's horses and all the king's men at it, it's still operating at 73.4% "efficiency." And that means...

Keep going after the effects and ignoring the causes. Who thinks anything will ultimately change, except for a growing collectivist state to futilely try to contain problems of its own making?
