I have no problem dealing harshly with criminals of any color.
I wouldn't incarcerate them because that's cruelty.
I would rather euthanize them because that's both more merciful and more efficient.
What I wouldn't do, ever, is make a color / race issue out of it.
The urban poor of color
and the white trash in the country
are both very likely to commit crimes.
Their lives suck, so they've little to lose.
If they get away with it, they're better off.
If they're euthanized for it, they're still better off.
I should think that this would be easy for any sensible person to see.
