[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess the owner of that private property gets to decide what the appropriate consequence is...and seems to be asking for the thief to be banned from the art/community center, not to get a hug. But you likely knew that if you read the article.[/quote]

I’m sorry, but SJW “centered” approaches to crime are so unintentionally comical, poorly reasoned and are just getting so clichéd. The overuse of the “language of oppression” with words and terms like  “restorative”, “holistic, non-punitive approaches to healing” and a focus on the feelings and needs of the assailants. Like, really?

I agree with none of it. I’m so tired of this period in history. We’ll look back on these progressive approaches to criminal justice the same way we look at disco. An interesting fad without longevity. In the thousands of years of human evolution, basically letting people know their behavior is only kept in check by a hug and getting asked some personal questions about why they stole something, has never been shown to work. It’s idiotic.

What has worked is removing violent or criminal types and jailing them. Instead we get performative wokeness lessons from untalented “artists”. I bet all her art is focused on super trite, obvious topics like gentrification and what not as well. I just can’t. Everyone is so annoying these days.[/quote]

I feel like even voicing what I said is enough to get socially ostracized by this new generation of perpetually aggrieved and outraged Gen Zers. I prefer to just vent anonymously. Maybe, just maybe there are others like me. People who feel that progressive criminals just only makes communities less safe.[/quote]
