Steps to move Richmond closer to becoming Sin City, USA
Repeal open container laws, with the exception of vehicles.
Repeal laws against public drunkeness. If you don't like it, 1) don't look at it, 2)get away from it, 3) contribute money to organizations which help alcoholics recover, 4) pressure your government representatives to invest in programs which actually rehabilitate drunks instead of the no-win, revolving door present-day policy which only benefits the imprisonment-industrial complex (i.e. provides good-paying jobs for police, judges, lawyers, and the rest of the legal system.) Ask yourself why you are offended by drunks if they aren't hrting anyone except themselves. Alcoholics are guilty of making poor choices. Many other people make poor choices which debilitate their health, but we don't lock them up. Why aren't you offended by the people who are killing themselves with gluttony at fast food joints. Shouldn't they be looked up too? Personally, I find fat people aesthetically repugnant, but I don't want them jailed.
Both repeals put a dent in the the imprisonment-industrial complex, freeing up time, resources, and money that could be devoted to more productive efforts.
Free distribution of T-shirts that say, "Cleveland rocks, Richmond sucks" to travelers, hobos, homeless to increase awareness of how lame and boring Richmond is today.
Production of a Michael Moore-style movie that increases awareness of how racist, provincial, insular, backward, stuck in the past, and bougie Richmond is.
