[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread’s going to get deleted, sort of like how Reddit “Washington DC” deletes any crime related posts because it’s simply too hard to discuss, but really I’m sick of crime apologists.

Yeah, we get “income inequality” is to blame, but at the same time, we throw millions at it, and leniency, or studies, or is not an immediate solution to the massive spike. We need to vote for strict on crime politicians and people who have the will to let police arrest and courts prosecute. If not, the crime will keep rising.[/quote]

I mean, you fundamentally understand that strict on crime policing got us into this mess, right?[/quote]

It did not.  The entire crime narrative has been a false binary since George Floyd's murder. It's a much more complex issue.  The recent response to overly burdensome criminal sentencing, etc. is to make it so lax that there are few consequences. The appropriate response would be immediate, known, reasonable consequences to criminal activity. That's the only way to build in a deterrent.

And there has to be a deterrent. Most crime is opportunistic. Most lower income people don't commit crime, but we all love to think if we provide handouts, crime will go away.  Provide handouts and services because it's the right thing to do. But never expect it to reduce crime.[/quote]

SAY IT AGAIN.[/quote]
