Are you insane? Spending all your time worrying about them ignores the threat posed by the Deep State and The Caravan!
Should I be more worried about flash mobs, ANTIFA, MS13 or Islamic terrorism?
Apparently you should be worried about big buildings too. Like the one Matt Damon just spent 16 million in to buy a penthouse, now the most expensive real estate deal in Brooklyn. In a high-rise building. They had to use cranes to get trees up there for his outdoor patio. He's really going to be slumming it in there. Cuz that's what happens when you make big buildingsAre you insane? Spending all your time worrying about them ignores the threat posed by the Deep State and The Caravan!
I live in Park Slope, which is a very wealthy area. While it’s not dense for NYC it’s much denser that almost any other city in America. I should tell all these doctors and lawyers to stop living in the slums.Apparently you should be worried about big buildings too.

High rises. Election stealing Antifa. BLM. Shoplifters. CRT teaching teachers! Potsmokers. Immigrants that are not white. Communists and socialists neverywhere. The gays!
I'm surprised these conservatives leave their homes.
Meanwhile I'm near anarchist NYC having a good time oblivious to the chaos around and above me. Kamikaze Anarchist immigrants jumping off of high rise slums in midtown Manhattan trying to kill me with their bodies.
I should start bringing an umbrella with me everywhere I think. For safety's sake

It's not that he doesn't really believe it, it's that like most conservatives, he is unable to put himself in someone else's shoes. HE wouldn't want to live in high density housing, so naturally in his world no one else would want to live in high density housing.
what kinda person would want to live in high density housing? the kind of person that HAS TO! You can choose a house or a apartment with 10000 neighbors you pass by as you enter your house why would you choose the gauntlet?
Park slope is gorgeous. What are the lot sizes there on average for those brownstones? Around by me a full lot size is 25x100. I was going to guess they're probably the same.I live in Park Slope, which is a very wealthy area. While it’s not dense for NYC it’s much denser that almost any other city in America.

Can you show me which post(s) express sympathy for criminals and criminal activity? That way I can see how liberals are in love with crime, thanks.
Case in point.
They don't lock up thieves in Saudi Arabia and they have an astoundingly low theft rate. But I would wager one would not have see a lot of theft among Tibetan monks a hundred years ago.Any post that does not advocate locking up thieves is a pro crime post.
Oh boy! Just wanted to add that.Any post that does not advocate locking up thieves is a pro crime post.
Damn, sucks for Matt Damon, too bad he couldn't afford a single family home like every single person in the world apparently wants.
Good question, I don’t know the lot size as I’ve never tried to buy one, haha. I will happily take your ramen suggestion though, I’m a big fan.Park slope is gorgeous.

There is a fantastic ramen joint in Park slope, one of the best in the city I've tried so far. If you haven't been, check it out. Ramen danbo.

But it did work. This problem didn't exist before police became less proactive, and criminals started getting appearance tickets (if they were even caught) instead of an immediate stint in jail.yeah, jail is such a huge deterrent we have 20% of the world's prisoners but only ~4.5% of its population. seems to be working reeeeeal well here.
You are ignorant like all conservatives. Yes there are bad apples in the world, they will always be criminals, but inequality is a big part of crime. To not understand that you have to have no critical thinking skills.But it did work. This problem didn't exist before police became less proactive, and criminals started getting appearance tickets (if they were even caught) instead of an immediate stint in jail.
That's the biggest difference between now and and a couple years ago when this problem really didn't exist to this extent.
I don't really care how the prison rate in the US compares to the rest of the world. Locking crooks up does dissuade crime. I have seen no real other solutions in this thread.
"Ending income inequality" is one of those slogans that's a good idea and completely ridiculous at the same time. I think most slogans are like that.
I have no problem with what you say. What I have a problem with is the likely assumption you have that you see the situation fully, that because you can see no solution one does not exist. And are you open to learning differently, considering scientific studies that might suggest that the stresses of income inequality, poverty really, when mitigated affect the crime statistics? Are you patient enough to allow for that fact that any solution may not take effect immediately?But it did work.

Many conservatives think poverty, systemic judicial and economic prejudice, have nothing to do with crime. Quite a few think it has to do with being black and brown though.I have no problem with what you say.

I didn’t see in railer’s post that I replied to any antipathy toward increasing economic injustice even for people of color. What I thought he was saying is that such policies won’t fix this issue of mob crime. Personally, I hear that as a personal opinion for which I, myself, have no evidence.Many conservatives think poverty, systemic judicial and economic prejudice, have nothing to do with crime.

You need to hold them accountable… or they will do it again and it will spread… here watch thiswho do we think is committing these robberies and how do we stop them?
take away mask mandates and bring back jail time?
its going to eventually ruin in person shopping if it cant be controlled / countered.
When i went to a Walgreens in Vegas i watched people just casually taking items in front of the security guard and walking out, he didn't seem to be able to stop any of it, but about 90% of the items in the store over 5$ where under lock and key in lil display cases (which would not stop a mob of course), In SF they are closing most of the Walgreens because of this rampant theft/.
if there is already a thread you can delete / move this one.
He made a general statement about crime will not be reduced with less inequality. I think this goes beyond just this one type of crime.I didn’t see in railer’s post that I replied to any antipathy toward increasing economic injustice even for people of color.

The point I was making to you was that typically, among conservatives who do as you suggest, deny a connection between economic injustice and criminal behavior, there lies behind that belief, additionally, a hostility to doing anything about such injustice. For that reason I felt you were putting him in a box he had already given evidence he didn’t fit. I have no truck with the description you gave of many who are conservatives, or even if further reply to the questions I asked and he has not yet answered, would reveal him to fit that box, only that in the post I questioned him about, he gave just the opposite indication, that he is for doing something about economic injustice even though he believes it will not fix the kind of crime on which the OP, intended to focuses.He made a general statement about crime will not be reduced with less inequality.
