Nope, I would say the same for anyone. You can look at my posting history and you will see that I’m not conservative. I just stick by my principles. I have been in trouble with the law, I also have the same view of restoring voting rights to convicted felons( like my brother) and gun rights to non-violent convicted felons.

So nice try, your privilege is showing.

So, in other words, a company with no spine, no sense of right and wrong and no loyalty to their employees.

Sounds like Google maybe.....or Amazon.

Or more likely, the Government.

A couple of you in this thread are more than a little “off” I would say. Wow.

What "morals" are they overlooking for a dollar?

I could have made more money being a gangster when I was a kid but I knew it was morally wrong.

Even now, having decades of experience in criminal justice/loss prevention/private security I could rob people blind and not get caught...or definitely have very little chance of getting caught but that would be morally wrong.

Do you think this was an equal and opposite reaction to what was the initial action? If you do, I suggest you go back and learn some physics.

This kind of policing behavior with a disproportionate punishment has to stop. If what she did would interfere with the duties of her job, then I can understand, but I haven’t seen evidence of that.
She works for a company. She is free to get another job. I’m sure she will be fine in the long run.

She isn’t being policed. She could think and believe whatever she wants but as soon as you start trouble by questioning the individuals and LYING about knowing who lives in a house.. well, you reap what you sow.

Not enough IMO for that city. That's nothing special for SF, trust me.

What the hell are you talking about? I didn’t label you as anything. I just disagreed with you trying to label someone a conservative for their take on this topic.

I actually believe in second chances and worker’s rights. This does not bode well for me. If your livelihood is at risk for not adapting to “appropriate” behavior and because someone will post a video of you, that’s not that different from actually policing behavior.

I will continue to use the obsessed to my advantage.

When Democrats found out I wasn't down with their program they felt betrayed. Then when I wouldn't kow-tow to the Republicans they weren't pleased.

Nobody knows how to handle an individual. I've seen the same look in the eyes of murderous black gangsters to white wealthy Republicans. The look that says "We can't box this guy in!"

People don't like it if they can't control/exploit you. The easiest way to do that is through collectivism.

I'll work those people over to my benefit until the day I die. You want to be lazy, stupid, and part of a collectivist mob - go right ahead. I'll be looking out for #1 so I can properly take care of the people I care about.
