I wish I could say it was a philosophical thing. It's that they really don't care about these people. They don't mind letting the people suffer and letting their communities get destroyed. And the rest of it is just window dressing. There's no other trying to read people's minds. It doesn't work.

And then we're going to switch, we're going to switch, keeps moving towards other violent crime. Now, the key pivot in this, again, it's down in the weeds a little bit, is to take these gun crimes and then down to rape and assault and go down even to property crimes because you You can't have CVS have everything behind lock and key. Right.

But the two things that we're doing is dragging these cases to federal court because the local court is so bad. The juries are bad. The judges are bad. The system is bad. So you get them to federal court. You got a better chance to have real penalties and a bit more stability.

But the problem really is going to be whether you can have the will of the judges to hold these people to the laws and to put them away. But you move along that continuum every single day in terms of addressing crime. The last thing I'd say is that a lot of talk about money. The mayor wants to build a stadium and all these things. They need more cops. And cops cost money.

But cops also require that you be on their side. Remember when we were kids, being an FBI agent was a big deal. Being a cop was a big deal. Oh, for sure. And now... young people don't feel drawn to those jobs, right? So it is hard to get cops. MPD is down probably, I think their ideal is 3,800 cops. They're at about 3,300. You can say you're going to get all these crimes.
