With violent crime continuing to plague American cities, the time has come for truly radical measures. Here are seven ideas for extreme changes to make our cities safer:

1. Have highly trained guys with guns patrol dangerous parts of the city to protect innocent people: They could even wear like a badge so people know who they are.

2. Take the violent people you arrest and keep them in some sort of building away from other people: It’s crazy, but it just might work.

3. If someone gets arrested a dozen times, they actually have to stay in the building away from people: Extreme, we know.

4. Get a billionaire orphan whose parents were killed by a criminal to dress up in a cool outfit and protect the city: Brilliant.

5. Appoint judges who have passed some kind of exam to prove that they know about the laws: Revolutionary idea.

6. If someone stops a violent criminal, don’t arrest that person: Whoa. Total game-changer.

7. Bring back the gallows: Now we’re talking.

Drastic times call for drastic measures.
