Do the crime - do the time. no one said you have to be smart to become a criminal, just lack of respect for laws, law enforcement officers, and others. The requirements to become a criminal: there is no quota system, no special color, race, gender, or creed.......just disrespect for others. If our prisons have a majority of individuals in one of these other groups, it is a reflection of what their parents DID NOT teach them.
