WTF? This is crazy. All the people arrested and released will be looting again tonight, and tomorrow, and the next day. 
We need more prisons. Honestly, that's the only solution at this point. This entire population of criminals should be swept up and locked away. They have no value-add to society. [/quote]
It's called BAIL. Welcome to reality. This is not new. This is not exclusive to any political party.[/quote]

But setting a low ball bail is exclusive to certain ideologies. Set that crap sky high and let them sit.[/quote]

Serious question, how many inmates are you willing to house and feed? The average cost per inmate is $130,000 per year.[/quote]

Why feed and house inmates at $130K? That's a waste of money and resources. Build a mega prison with cheap overhead and throw them in there. There's no reason to spend any money on these folks when there's no return on investment. And we can stop death penalty appeals. That is a time suck.[/quote]

We already have mega prisons. Do you mean we should build concentration camps and gas people for looting Athleta?[/quote]

That would be considerable cheaper. I doubt this is their first merry-go-round. These are likely juveniles on their 4th, 5th, + criminal incident with no future prospects. We do not need them. What we do need are more mega prisons. Make them for profit if needed. Prison labor can be used for hire to make it self sustaining. There's got to be a solution because they do not belong in society. We cannot put retailers or services in low income communities because the people that live there with rob and loot these very institutions. They continue to dig their own graves. [/quote]

This is a terrifying glimpse into the Fox News-addled brain of your average Republican. Jesus Christ.[/quote]

Hi, I live in SE dc and my brain is not Fox News-addled. I understand right wing propaganda and loathe it.

At the same time, crime is up by double digits.

There are seemingly a few camps to this crime discussion. Especially, as it relates to looting.

There are those who somehow justify theft because they don’t like corporations, price gouging, inequitable CEO pay and what have you. They also decry poverty and can somehow reason that even if theft is causing stores to close it’s justified for survival, and many of these folks believe this theft is actually corporate propaganda on the airwaves used to punish normal people and the theft isn’t the real reason stores are actually closing, but it’s based more on corporatist reasons.

There there are hardline folks who lean authortarian anyway and want a crack down no matter what. These folks suck up Fox News.

Then there are people like me who have kids, live in the city and don’t want my stupid local CVS on 12th st se to close because I know this type of theft and crime is actually happening. I am also liberal, but getting incredibly frustrated with crime apologists. It’s not cool. You don’t look like an ally or whatever. You look like an aszhole. You are jeopardizing my safety and you are causing business to close.[/quote]
