It's a pretty small help, and the people you're beating on may be just as much victims of circumstance as the people they're victimizing.

Better to work on root causes then beat up people in dark corners.

Especially when beating some schlub does nothing about the cycle of violence except continue it.

Besides - I've seen too many 'good ol boys' who thought they were on the side of the righteous beating on some poor POC kid and calling it justice.
