America’s Least Wanted
Lock your doors, buy ‘The Club’ and move to Connecticut: crime is everywhere, and according to your local media purveyors, it’s getting worse. But is it? “America’s Least Wanted” takes a bite out of crime hysteria by exposing the media’s fetish for high-profile crime stories. Let Paper Tiger and Robin Andersen take you on a rare trip through the mean streets of corporate gangland, where necktied hoodlums get away with mass murder while a disinterested media and justice system turn a blind eye. Learn how prisons have become a high-stakes profit-making venture and why the Crime Bill is only the latest in ineffective and repressive anti-crime legislation. Don’t miss an action-packed minute.
