A lot of Democrats certainly do.A lot of people totally missed the point of this thread. It isn't that poverty causes crime, but that Seattle wants to excuse criminal activity if you can claim poverty as an excuse. Does anyone want to address the concern that you won't be prosecuted for a crime if you can convince the DA or judge that you're poor?
As long as people that are rich can get out of their crimes, I support a fair and just system that allows all to get away with their crimes.
