The Poverty Excuse

[pknopp]

But in this situation the people doing it would get a pass, and then realize there is no down side to robbing the businesses over and over.

And when one of the owners loses his shit and beats the crap out of the thief you will then call for his head.

Darn straight I will. Disproporationate response.

I would expect that a lot of people/business and/or property owners would eventually conclude that if our 'justice' system is unable or unwilling to prosecute those who violate their rights then whatever restraint they may have felt when dealing with that segment of the population might just disappear.

That or they're going to have to modify the laws so that "self-defense" or "defense of others" also includes defense of one's home, business or other property.

Or we can stop using the Criminal Justice System to provide a ready labor force for the Prison Industrial Complex.

It's not your shit being stolen, it's not you livelihood being ruined. Most stores operate on pretty thing margins.

Of course it is. Corporate farms got billions and I'm on the hook.

That isn't a crime you dundering empty headed noob

It's all a crime.

No, crime is a crime. Government policies you don't like are not crimes.

I thought taxation was theft? Taking from taxpayers to give to corporations don't count here?

Taxation like government is overhead, not theft.

Well, glad to see you acknowledge that.

The bit where you take the most extreme positions of the Right and just assign it to anyone to on the Right?

That is your brain, knowing it is losing the argument and getting desperate and dishonest to try to protect your world view.

It's stated here over and over. (and everywhere)

Criminal activity was illegal then, Seattle wants to make a lot of it acceptable. Time were different then, most of the country wasn't as mobile as it is now. So, if you stole something, people knew who you were and you didn't get away with it. Seattle wants to change that. Throw in the fact the Seattle and other cities want to defund the police, right? How does anyone not see the writing on the wall?

Criminal activity has long been legal for the rich. Did Trump go to prison for his theft?

What a useless deflection.

The reason for a criminal justice system is to take justice from the victims of a crime, and let the State handle it. If the State decides to relinquish that job, then it goes back to the people.

So the people should have resorting to stringing Trump up?

Talk about not wanting to debate the actual topic at hand.

I stated exactly what I think. I'm absolutely OK with it. We are not supposed to have a two tiered justice system.

I believe that all should be treated equally, however that has to be done.

Until it's your shit being stolen.

So how are businesses supposed to handle the deluge of shoplifters that will occur if said shoplifters know they can claim poverty?

I suppose what they do is support a justice system that treats everyone equally.

I look forward to the next round of whining about "food deserts".

Also, what happens when some shop owner decides that he is willing to protect his property with force?

What happens when the only shops surviving, are ones owned by such people?

An owner can protect his property but I have no idea how they relates to what I said.

So it is ok for the thief to steal AND it is ok for the shop owner to use force to stop him?


Is it ok for the thief to use force to steal?


Do you envision cops showing to the aftermath of gun battles and finding it to be just fine, nothing to see here, this is the new normal?


And does that change if the shop owner is white?

Realizing a fact isn't whining.

And FYI food deserts for lack of a better term do exist not because of shop lifting but because poor people don't have enough money to spend at stores

When the same people that order the cops to stand down to let rioters burn down the stores and the same people that refuse to prosecute shoplifting and those same people are the ones that order the arrest of store owners that defend themselves,


when those same people complain about the painfully easy to predict results of their actions,


a certain level of ridicule is to be expected.

again when do 100 kids enter a store at the same time outside of a riot?

A store owner can prevent a single kid from shoplifting if he's paying attention.

But do you deny that for some that stealing can be an act of survival?

Like I said when I was a teen sometimes the only thing I ate in a day was the bag of chips, or a candy bar I could pocket. I guess i should have been shot for that huh?

In all systems those that are rich and/or powerful use their resources to protect themselves, to the extent that they can.


It is a flaw of any and all human societies.

That you use it as an excuse to destroy one particular society, is an obvious rationalization.


What is your real reason for hating the society that created you?

During the Great Depression, with much of the United States mired in grinding poverty and unemployment, some Americans found increased opportunities in criminal activities like bootlegging, robbing banks, loan-sharking—even murder.

Criminal activity was illegal then, Seattle wants to make a lot of it acceptable. Time were different then, most of the country wasn't as mobile as it is now. So, if you stole something, people knew who you were and you didn't get away with it. Seattle wants to change that. Throw in the fact the Seattle and other cities want to defund the police, right? How does anyone not see the writing on the wall?

Criminal activity has long been legal for the rich. Did Trump go to prison for his theft?

What a useless deflection.

The reason for a criminal justice system is to take justice from the victims of a crime, and let the State handle it. If the State decides to relinquish that job, then it goes back to the people.

So the people should have resorting to stringing Trump up?

Talk about not wanting to debate the actual topic at hand.

I stated exactly what I think. I'm absolutely OK with it. We are not supposed to have a two tiered justice system.

I believe that all should be treated equally, however that has to be done.

Until it's your shit being stolen.

So how are businesses supposed to handle the deluge of shoplifters that will occur if said shoplifters know they can claim poverty?

I suppose what they do is support a justice system that treats everyone equally.

I look forward to the next round of whining about "food deserts".

Also, what happens when some shop owner decides that he is willing to protect his property with force?

What happens when the only shops surviving, are ones owned by such people?

An owner can protect his property but I have no idea how they relates to what I said.

So it is ok for the thief to steal AND it is ok for the shop owner to use force to stop him?


Is it ok for the thief to use force to steal?


Do you envision cops showing to the aftermath of gun battles and finding it to be just fine, nothing to see here, this is the new normal?


And does that change if the shop owner is white?

Depends on the force.

A kid stealing a candy bar is not a threat to the store clerk's life.

A hundred "kids" stealing thousands of dollars worth of merchandise, is a threat to his livelihood.

again when do 100 kids enter a store at the same time outside of a riot?

A store owner can prevent a single kid from shoplifting if he's paying attention.

But do you deny that for some that stealing can be an act of survival?

Like I said when I was a teen sometimes the only thing I ate in a day was the bag of chips, or a candy bar I could pocket. I guess i should have been shot for that huh?

Funny, it is so easy for a store owner to stop, then how did you pull it off?

I got caught plenty of times but I was faster than the clerk who didn't want to chase me for the cost of a candy bar a lot of those times I would just drop it and run as well

But there were days I still had to eat something so even though I would get caught sometimes I would still try

Realizing a fact isn't whining.

And FYI food deserts for lack of a better term do exist not because of shop lifting but because poor people don't have enough money to spend at stores

When the same people that order the cops to stand down to let rioters burn down the stores and the same people that refuse to prosecute shoplifting and those same people are the ones that order the arrest of store owners that defend themselves,


when those same people complain about the painfully easy to predict results of their actions,


a certain level of ridicule is to be expected.

The solution is easy. Reform our justice system. Otherwise I support things burning down.

The justice system isn't the problem. THe break down of society is the problem.

That you use it as an excuse to destroy one particular society, is an obvious rationalization.


What is your real reason for hating the society that created you?

I am straight with what I believe. You call it unfixable. I say if that's the case let it all fall apart.
