[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, Seth R's comments are very similar to how DCUM would react. I don't think he was being a prick. I also think it's common for people on the left to shrug off property crimes and common for people on the right to view it as a serious issue, so I see this as political posturing, not "insensitivity."  And I say this as a person on the right. [/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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. [/quote]
