Fallacies of Organized Crime

There are several ways to debauch the actual crime to entertain, gain the purpose and brainwash people. Here are eight fallacies of organized crime;
- Dramatic Fallacy
- The Cops-and-Courts Fallacy
- The Not-me Fallacy
- Innocent-youth Fallacy

Dramatic Fallacy
Aggression and crime streamed on media are often misleading and dramatic than the actual story, that doesn’t actually deal with the issue at hand. Media present the event and show the people as it wants to show.
In addition to Dramatic fallacy of organized crime here are the numbers of cases demonstrate the actual facts behind the unsubstantiated.
Cops and Courts Fallacy
Courts, police and other state departments which control the crime, are fashioned as those who stop the production of crime. Crime prevention is de facto purpose of such departments.
Not-me Fallacy
Not-me fallacy is that an individual never accepts he trespassed, if he did so it was situational and the best he could do.
Recent quibble on media between Marvi Sarmad and Khaleel-Ur-Rehman is the best example to state. Marvi Sarmad’s twitter account that keeps uttering abusive words was turned to teach morality to the Khaleel-Ur-Rehman as he abused her in a talk show. Marrvi Sarmad defends her abusive words but when it returned to her she aggressively started campaign against Khaleel-Ur-Rehman.
Innocent Youth Fallacy
The belief that being young means innocent, it is think that a young can not commit crime he is actually manipulated by adults.

For example America nuked Japan twice to crush the Japanese resistance, that was definitely a crime but Americans were modeled as aggressor.
