It’s the only way this current crime wave will end.

Then why is violent crime lower in many cities with gun restrictions than cities in Alaska etc?

Have pity for them. They need the coats more than you do. These poor people don’t have access to any help.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. That's how insane leftists are.

Personally, I would never wear an expensive coat. For my money it’s wasteful. But for their money they could do whatever they want with it, and they have the right to wear it without fear of it being stolen.

I worked so hard for my Canada goose, from cleaning motel rooms as a kid, working at putt-putt in the summers, work-study jobs, etc. I love my Canada goose and now I can’t wear it because of thugs.

Stop bragging how hard you work; many people have. Get a Scandinavian brand that is just as good if not better but unheard of yet.
They would pass you, google it, and then decide whether to jump you or not. You have time to escape.

Most progressives are critical theorists so they view the poor as oppressed. To them, street crime is justice. That's why this won't be solved as long as leftists are in charge. We need good moderate liberals and conservatives to come in and implement solutions that work in the real world, not just the world of make-believe that progressives live in.

You are wrong. I am a progressive that believes that the poor are clearly oppressed in our society. The flaw in your nasty assumption is that I don’t think these kids are criminals because they are poor. Poor people are not “more criminal” in nature than wealthy people. You are not a serious person and would rather tilt at windmills than discuss these issues reasonably.

You've clearly never been poor. I have and poor people are far more prone to criminal activity than middle and upper class folks. Any crime map or crime statistics will tell you this. As a progressive, you are living in the land of make-believe where "data is white supremacy" so you're not allowed to use it. So you are incapable of solving this issue.

I've been poor, with zero resources, and I didn't go robbing people.

The rationale is that GWU students and every other decent person have the right to have and enjoy the possessions they or their benefactors can afford, and that what needs to change is the behavior of criminals not others.

Nothing has ever changed the behavior of criminals, and nothing will. Why is that so hard to understand and accept?

I honestly see absolutely no difference at all when democrats mug you through taxes for their socialist agenda versus these guys in the street who deserve a piece of your wealth (e.g. nice coat). TBH, I think the muggers on the street have more integrity than Dems in office, because at least they’re honest about their intentions. Dems mug you for your wealth and pretend like they’re doing you a favor.

The thread is about street crime but go off.

You’re just salty because it is true. No difference between Democrats in Congress vs the streets doing wealth redistribution.

“street reparations”
