That money would hire a lot of cops, build some jail cells, but instead the taxpayers are funding a grief counselling center. I don't believe that 'grief' is the primary motivation for street crimes and violence. Also noteworthy is all of the noise about Obama-ist religion. Is there nothing this new religion can't do?
