Just because ?It is worse in other places.? or ?It was just as bad back in my day.? or ?I?ve lived in a crime free place and it was boring.? Doesn?t mean we should tolerate crime of any sort or at any level. If one person is mugged in 5 years that is too much. Where does the tolerance end? I?ve stood at the gravesides of too many friends and relatives to want test that boundary. This is why I have a problem with the narrow minded ideology that is western liberalism and get annoyed when people pigeon hole me a liberal. It seems to imply that I subscribe to a whole lot of short sighted idiocy. I don?t tolerate misogyny, nepotism or racism. Why should I tolerate violent crime?
