You’re in DC. You’re not safe under any circumstance.

I honestly see absolutely no difference at all when democrats mug you through taxes for their socialist agenda versus these guys in the street who deserve a piece of your wealth (e.g. nice coat). TBH, I think the muggers on the street have more integrity than Dems in office, because at least they’re honest about their intentions. Dems mug you for your wealth and pretend like they’re doing you a favor.

The thread is about street crime but go off.

You’re just salty because it is true. No difference between Democrats in Congress vs the streets doing wealth redistribution.

Only if you are a dumb partisan. Normal people can easily see that taxes are not the same as violent crime. What a bunch of foolishness masquerading as thoughtful argument.

It’s the only way this current crime wave will end.

Then why is violent crime lower in many cities with gun restrictions than cities in Alaska etc?

I think it's time for the national guard at this point.

The rationale is that GWU students and every other decent person have the right to have and enjoy the possessions they or their benefactors can afford, and that what needs to change is the behavior of criminals not others.

Nothing has ever changed the behavior of criminals, and nothing will. Why is that so hard to understand and accept?

So not true - harsher consequences will change. They have no fear because nothing happens. We're too lenient.

Personally, I would never wear an expensive coat. For my money it’s wasteful. But for their money they could do whatever they want with it, and they have the right to wear it without fear of it being stolen.

I worked so hard for my Canada goose, from cleaning motel rooms as a kid, working at putt-putt in the summers, work-study jobs, etc. I love my Canada goose and now I can’t wear it because of thugs.

Stop bragging how hard you work; many people have. Get a Scandinavian brand that is just as good if not better but unheard of yet.
They would pass you, google it, and then decide whether to jump you or not. You have time to escape.

Most progressives are critical theorists so they view the poor as oppressed. To them, street crime is justice. That's why this won't be solved as long as leftists are in charge. We need good moderate liberals and conservatives to come in and implement solutions that work in the real world, not just the world of make-believe that progressives live in.

You are wrong. I am a progressive that believes that the poor are clearly oppressed in our society. The flaw in your nasty assumption is that I don’t think these kids are criminals because they are poor. Poor people are not “more criminal” in nature than wealthy people. You are not a serious person and would rather tilt at windmills than discuss these issues reasonably.

You've clearly never been poor. I have and poor people are far more prone to criminal activity than middle and upper class folks. Any crime map or crime statistics will tell you this. As a progressive, you are living in the land of make-believe where "data is white supremacy" so you're not allowed to use it. So you are incapable of solving this issue.

I've been poor, with zero resources, and I didn't go robbing people.

So? There is more wrong with them than being poor. What's your point?
Nobody knows what that more is or how to fix it.

If it’s unheard of, how would anyone know about it to purchase it?

"Equity"

Oh please. We have a terrible mayor and people keep voting for her. The police chief choice was absurd.

Have pity for them. They need the coats more than you do. These poor people don’t have access to any help.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. That's how insane leftists are.

This can go either way. The thugs are the product of times and society. They don't see way out, and don't have cultural capital.
Not my job to fix it; wouldn't even know how. But also, don't see me with anything valuable out and about or at home. Not so much because I'm afraid, but it's all same China crap to me. There is so much more to life than stuff, but stuff is what they kid see and think will fix their problems.

Because there’s like 4 people in Alaska. If one of them commits a crime, it means 25% of the population is a criminal and the other 3 have a .33% chance of being a victim of crime.

If you’re stupid enough to buy a $900 piece of clothing for a kid who will outgrow it in 6 months, you probably SHOULD be getting robbed. Regularly.

Leftists.

Nah, mostly crime in the city swings from factors bigger than local government. In this case I think history will show it’s mostly covid (and the disproportionate impact of remote work vs other cities) mixed with some ill-considered criminal justice reform, particularly related to juveniles.
