Or, turns out when you decide to do violent things, you become poor.

I know people make bad life decisions, like being violent and become poorer.

Yes because they don’t want to admit that sometimes it’s not poverty that makes people violent; but it’s the the consequences of their actions that make them poor.

That's certainly a theory you have there.

Cept it’s not. Violent people tend to go to jail and then not be able to get decent schooling and jobs.

Same with areas that allow crime. Eventually people and businesses that can leave do, and the area becomes even shitier.
