Yet if you don’t pay your taxes, the state will commit escalating acts of violence against you, up until your death, if necessary, to either compel you to pay, seize your wealth/assets if you don’t pay, jail you if you refuse that forfeiture, and injure or kill you if you refuse to be jailed. So tell us all again - there’s no difference between taxes and violent crime, eh? |
Yeah urban crime is high in states with lax gun laws too, but also city restrictions don’t really mean anything when we’re next to Virginia. It’s not like people are having a hard time getting guns. |
How do you think Canada Goose got famous in the first place? |
A victimless crime. There was someone who complained. They should know their place and keep quiet. |
How does covid cause a person to be robbed of their winter coat at gunpoint? |
I don’t care what the rationale is. The victims did not deserve to be assaulted. I probably wouldn’t agree with them, think they’re smart, or like them very much, but they did not deserve to be assaulted. |
They aren't stealing these coats to stay warm, they are stealing them because the coats are worth $$$$. I know you are being sarcastic, but it's worth pointing out that the income spreads have become so wide that is easier to make money by stealing stupid expensive coats and really expensive designer dogs than to get a job. I'm from a poor area and learned early on that if you flaunt wealth it will get taken from you. Buy regular les expensive coats and adopt a shelter dog and most people who need or want more money will leave you alone. |
Victimless when you have 3 guns pointing at you? |
We already had a major court case about the road blocks. They’re unconstitutional. https://www.justiceonline.org/court_dcs_trinidad_checkpoints_not_legal |
They were already robbed once when they bought it. |
That's why the really good stuff has almost no visible branding |
Ok, let’s assume you’re correct and it’s the presence of guns that causes crime. There’s literally orders of magnitude more guns-per-person in Virginia than in DC. So why isn’t Virginia’s crime rate correspondingly higher than DC’s? It’s the guns, right? That’s what you’re saying - guns cause crime. So there’s way more guns in Virginia. Why isn’t there way more crime? Are the guns in Virginia lazy? Are they unmotivated? Why can’t the guns in Virginia influence people the way the guns in DC do? Well? |
There has never been a time period in the history of the world when there was no crime. I agree with you that we need harsher consequences, but even with harsher consequences there will still be crime and we still have to protect ourselves and act accordingly (ie quit wearing expensive coats that a$$holes are eager to steal). It is what it is. You want to walk around with your 6 million dollar coat and then act all surprised when you get robbed, go ahead. No one is stopping you. I personally will act accordingly and not do that. |
Would you wear a diamond ring in El Salvador? Would you wear your Rolex in Manila? Would you wear giant gold chains in Tijuana? If the answer is no to those, then why would you wear similar kinds of stuff in DC, which is basically a sister city to those aforementioned places? |
Interesting we have gone from oppressor and oppressed to predator and prey. Anyone care to deny that this is where CRT has taken us? |
