[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]And the decriminalization of theft in California also[/b] 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]

This isn't a real thing. California adjusted their threshold above which theft is a felony, but it's not even out of line with other states. Setting that threshold at approximately $1000 is very common (both higher and lower thresholds are out there too), and both felony and misdemeanor theft is criminal.[/quote]
