When trying to communicate, it helps to speak the same language.

We all dream of a land without violence, but as long as law
enforcement remains incapable of stamping out criminals, I will feel
obligated to keep a device handy that helps me translate my position
to the criminals.
Stoop to their level? Yup, be happy to. Speaking to them in legalese
doesn't seem to have much of an effect.

That's very limited communication and possibly only effective during
that time and place. After the fact, it likely means that the next
person to come across a gangbanger is going to have a more difficult
time "communicating". Is that what you call effective communicating?

Be nice to Joe Criminal and he will be nice to you. Come down here
(Washington) and I will take you to what used to be a nice little town. I'll
watch while you try to reason with some slimeball as he knocks you down and
proceeds to stomp the life out of you. Don't worry, before he can actually
kill you, I'll shoot the *******.

D.C. has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, and the highest
crime rate of all cities, I believe. And speaking of drug snorting
Mayors, How's Marion Barry doing?
