[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, progressives are willing to tolerate a higher amount of crime than conservatives, at least in regard to quality of life crimes, to further an agenda.[/quote]

I'd love to know what this "agenda" you're referring to is. I'm a liberal, and I don't know what you're talking about. Is it online?  Can I read it somewhere?

But back to your point. Countless psychology and political science studies (just look up the topic) have shown that people who identify as conservatives are more likely to be concerned about law and order issues and more triggered by the sort of headline-grabbing incidents like looting, smash-and-grabs, and the most egregious examples of urban crime. Liberals don't like these things either and are also shocked by them, but they are less triggered by them at an instinctive, base level and more likely to ascribe them to structural factors rather than moral failure. We are just different. [/quote]

What’s your rationale for California removing penalties for shoplifting under $1k? Genuinely curious how that’s a defensible position in a civilized society. After seeing the thousands of of mass thefts and smash and grabs it’s not clear to me we are such a civilized society. And the irony when retailersnpillnoutnodbjigh crime areas because they can’t profitably operate a business all of the progressives whine about their food deserts. Reap what you sow.[/quote]

Wait — we can go to California and get anything on off at a a store under $1k for free? I think we should drop our Costco member ship and go shopping in California once a month![/quote]

Go ahead! What’s stopping you?[/quote]
