and the vast majority of the criminals were black. However, 100% of the criminals were poor and that was the most unfair thing of all.

I'm not afraid of the neighborhood thugs. They can be bought off with the cash in my pocket, usually $20 or less. It's the guys in the three piece suits and designer shoes who have always ripped me off by depressing my wages, probably to the tune of nearly a million bucks over my working lifetime.

Should your post have been hidden? Hell no, it was instructive, the "bad" guys telling the filmmaker that they'd worked jobs, been paid starvation wages, and gotten nowhere. There is a hell of a lot of that going around.

I just wanted to reach through the screen and shake some sense into them, let them know that crimes against the rich would pay a hell of a lot better, that as long as they continued to prey on people in their own neighborhood, they were going to stay poor.

I'm sorry your post was hidden. I certainly wouldn't have voted to hide had i been on the jury.
