The sad thing is that I’m now caused to think like that since our legal and justice system is now a train wreck due to all the liberal policies and that people, like me, are now pausing from doing what is right AND acceptable in a FUNCTIONING society, in fear of what the “Justice” system would do to us. I live in the Metro Seattle area and the pure stupidity of Seattle has contaminated the suburbs.
I lived in Seattle in the 90s and the liberal goofiness was incredible. They see everything through a lens of "power structures" "victims and oppressors."
To be a progressive is to have escaped from reality into the land of make believe, with the addition of violence.
Also, just to prove some points. Felony theft threshold is higher in all these red states.
These new attacks are not thefts. They are robberies. When they are mass robberies, you can get gang enhancements. If they are using the Internet and social media, they are violating numerous federal laws, including conspiracy. When you add in the force and intimidation factor, you have a good application of terrorism statutes.

What it COSTS is completely irrelevant. That is what we pay taxes for. It is why we have prosecutors and district attorneys. If you ignore theft, you will get more of it. We have. If you would ignore petty assaults, you would get more of those too. There are a few people I'd like to punch in the nose.
The perception argument works both ways, because it means you only care now because Biden is in office, but you didnt care when it was happening when Trump was in office .
Real world experience. I work in a shopping district in a city of 10,000. It voted for Trump near 80%. This stuff literally happens every week. Someone cut a whole in the top of Best Buy on Wednesday and got away with like 40 laptops.
You want to believe this is a Democratic problem so bad that you ignore the things right in front of your eyes.
Only Democrats were freeing BLM Rioters, "right in front of your own eyes"

Sure, never argued other wise, you seem to completely overlook the point of my post though.

Yea, again never disagreed with this point. you are preaching to the wrong person.
Your original post that I responded to argued statutory and policy changes that you claimed were unique to California, or at least worse in California, you were wrong.
You are now changing your argument to simply state its wrong to rob people, which no one ever said otherwise. Thats Ben Shapiro level moving the goal post.
And you think they were Trump supporters doing this?
LMAO!!!!! That's quite a stretch. Hope you don't pull a hamstring.
imagine believing your side is completely free of criminals, LMFAO.
