I’m on the left and don’t “shrug off” property crimes. I just think we all need to do our part to make policing easier, and that includes not tempting criminals by leaving items of value visible in your car.

Yep, I call them "crimes of opportunity". I live in San Francisco and almost daily when I'm walking around downtown, tell someone "hey, your backpack is wide open." I don't hang my bag on the back of a chair unless there is no way anyone can walk behind me. I don't own a car anymore, but when I did (in another state) I always put my purse or bag on the floor of the passenger seat, not on the seat itself, and always took everything out of the car when I got out.

It's about way more than property crimes! Where is the sympathy for this man?!

He's a former cop and a security guard-- I applaud the attempt to humanize him but assaults against cops have dramatically escalated and I'm not sure if people are sympathetic toward them anymore.

Well I can assure you that normal people are, especially a POC cop who was trying to defend a business. If you dont feel any empathy at this time it may be time for some deep introspection and a personal check in to see what's gone left in you. Good luck.

The reason I think this is that when businesses were burned down last summer, the reaction from the left was, well, insurance will cover it, no problem here. And the decriminalization of theft in California also seems to be a move toward treating property crime as a minor infraction. I'm not saying that this is evil or wrong, although I disagree. I'm just saying that Seth R's comment seems very on brand with "it's just stuff, who cares!" I don't think he's a bad person for saying it, it's a good perspective even if I don't think it is best for society. I'm really surprised at the reaction he's getting, considering it's a fairly mainstream view.

This isn't a real thing. California adjusted their threshold above which theft is a felony, but it's not even out of line with other states. Setting that threshold at approximately $1000 is very common (both higher and lower thresholds are out there too), and both felony and misdemeanor theft is criminal.

I personally support the police and feel empathy for this man, I'm saying that people should expect a rush of public support for this man because the zeitgeist seems to be viewing the thieves as Jean Valjean up against this Inspector Jevert.

Well that's a problem. I do think the tide is shifting. At least my friends in LA are almost uniformly outraged at what's going on. They literally had to put out a citywide mandate because so many stores are being smashed and grabbed. When youre quite literally afraid of walking down the street and being shot for any reason because it's happening all over, people start being very critical of these "the poor criminals!" characterizations.

The dudes washed up and happy for any attention. If he had a thriving career and happy life, he wouldn’t be engaging with us plebs online.

Hes had a girlfriend the entire time he’s been famous and have never heard one cheating casual sex story on Rogan so do you normally spread rumors about people on the internet, even if you don’t know them?

Never said anything about him cheating, not sure where you’re getting that from.

He is a producer of:

Superbad - about teenage boys getting teenage girls drunk so they can lose their virginity

Sausage Party - ‘nuff said

Pineapple Express - about scoring weed

Blockers - about teenage girls losing their virginity

Knocked Up - creepy, gross dude doesn’t understand condoms and gets a woman pregnant on a one night stand

40 Year Old Virgin - about a 40 year old trying to lose his virginity.

His movies. Are. Gross. And so is he.

No one wants to see juvenile movies about penises and losing virginity anymore. His career is over, he’s probably losing his mind over it, and is so desperate for any kind of attention that he goes nuts online. He’s always been mentally unwell and now it’s coming out in full force.

You seem pretty desperate, bitter, mentally unwell and like the stick up your as* is the only thing keeping you standing and speaking.

Now Seth's on DCUM. Poor guy.

Mentally unwell fits. Seth Rogen doesn’t care about DCUM. You aren’t that important or interesting.

That's kind of sad, because it is difficult for the government to reverse cuts like that. LAPD took a $150M "defund the police" cut, and resignations and retirements are up by over 20% each. So the remaining officers are working overtime to make up for the losses, but are being given, like, IOUs for their overtime because the city can't pay. It's really difficult to reverse the effects of that, even if they put the funding back, because they need to be able to get funded, attract and train new talent, and start working normally again and that's going to take a while. This is sad both for the residents of LA who apparently have buyers remorse and also sad for the police who quit their jobs because they believed their services were no longer appreciated.

You … think this viciously personal attack is appropriate?

However dumb Rogen is for his behavior, the nasty ad hominem attacks are worse. This is not a response anyone should celebrate. If you are impressed by it, your parents raised you wrong.

DP but if you're a rich and famous person and you DM.yoir critics with expletive laden messages, you're opening the door to some serious hostility.
