Letter from Sweden

Hello.

As a swedish resident, we dont have slum/ghetto neighborhoods, and we have been lucky to not have any or at least very much police brutality. However, I understand that this happens frequently in US cities, and I am outraged to hear that the world's richest country and "mos powerful" country in the world have these problems - that most people dont seem to notice (or am I mistaken). Anyway, I've headrd about the three strikes you out law and ther Prop 21, and to me it sounds basically like instead of teaching youngsters right or wrong, you teach them (minorities) nothing and instead lock them up.

Just wanted to let you know.

Love

Marcus Punjabi
