South Carolina's Sen. Jim Demint leads the far right fridges of the Republican Party and Tea Party movement. His state has been dominated by extremely conservative political leadership for over 200 years and is home to some of the most severe poverty, public health problems and unemployment in the U.S.A. Add to that massive failures in education and public health and the most violent crime in the nation, and you can get an idea of what Demint’s vision for the rest of the country looks like.

This video documents a police "clean up" of violent street crime in South Carolina's capitol. Yet violence continues to plague the city despite the crackdown. Could it be that chronic poverty and poor education that plague the State spawn new generations of criminals and leave the police and FBI picking up the mess without any long term solution to the problem?
Jim Demint's South Carolina leads the nation in violent crime according to FBI statistics and the State Capitol, Columbia sets the example for the rest of the State.
