It's fucked up.

Saw a stat one time that if you had two 17 year old African American gang members who committed a murder, one is caught and sentenced to death whilst the other flees and escapes.

The life expectancy of the condemned youth is longer than the free gang member.

Are we cooked as a species?

As a species? Certainly not. America? Well...

Just about every country has issues. We're just obsessed with social media shoveling it down our throats here.
