I take your point but when Republicans have the stance, they are comfortable with high crimes as long as white Trumpers are committing them there is no place to go past that.
I take your point but when Republicans have the stance, they are comfortable with high crimes as long as white Trumpers are committing them there is no place to go past that.The evidence you just stated doesn't support your conclusion. If someone is upset about theft, clearly they care about it. That they aren't bemoaning the crimes you choose to focus on doesn't detract from their anger over other crimes.
Having been robbed 4 or 5 times, theft is a sore spot for me. It annoys me enough that I wonder if we shouldn't use corporal punishment instead of probation or a short jail sentence. Making theft legal hasn't worked out all that well, perhaps getting one's ass blistered would serve as a deterrent.
An even better solution would be insuring that every single person has a job and a place to live, but there would still be people that would rather steal than work.
There is a clear divide between crimes committed in the political arena and crimes of a more personal nature. I get that because there is distance between the criminal and victim, it's not personal to anyone that isn't emotionally invested in the political landscape.I take your point but when Republicans have the stance, they are comfortable with high crimes as long as white Trumpers are committing them there is no place to go past that.
I don't understand their long term strategy here because to me it looks like they are going to destroy their business. I barely bother to go to Duane Reade/Walgreens anymore because half their stuff is locked up and staffing in the stores is so low you are sitting there waiting 5+ minutes for someone to come by and unlock it. Whenever I see those things I leave and either get it from somewhere without those locks or off Amazon.LOL JK its not really a problem! Weird.

There are other retailers — such as Walmart and Target — that recently said theft has been a major problem.www.axios.com

now ask yourself, why would people steal what amounts to more or less basic care items? it's not like we're talking jewelry thefts and bank heists here for the purpose of getting rich quickly.The problem is that liberal policies of catching and releasing criminals or not even bothering to stop or arrest them at all for things like stealing are turning the largest blue cities into slums. This is why people are fleeing liberal cities and moving to places like Texas where criminals are locked up, not products for sale on the counter.
Perhaps you should consider moving to our conservative paradise.
Texas doesn’t lock up criminals, they elect them.The problem is that liberal policies of catching and releasing criminals or not even bothering to stop or arrest them at all for things like stealing are turning the largest blue cities into slums.

I’m sorry but standards of living in Texas are much too low for me. When I look at education standards, life expectancy, household income, and yes, crime rate, Texas performs poorly compared to liberal states. You think a slightly more convenient Duane Reade makes up for that?

The UK is way more liberal but we don't have all the shit in our stores locked up!The problem is that liberal policies of catching and releasing criminals or not even bothering to stop or arrest them at all for things like stealing are turning the largest blue cities into slums.

you mean a system that meets people's needs means that people won't be destructive towards the society they live in? shocking :OThe UK is way more liberal but we don't have all the shit in our stores locked up!
We do have better worker protections, a better welfare system and a national health service (if the Tories don't totally dismantle it) so maybe that's the difference?

i'm sure texas' tough on crime stance is precisely the reason people are moving there. definitely not related to the cost of housing
and totally not bringing their liberal ideology with them, either. drop those politics and beliefs right at the border and live out in the rural areas. wait, what's that? the article states that most of those people end up moving to the major metropolitan areas of Texas instead of the utopia that is rural Texas? and they tend to be younger and more progressive? how can this be?Why are Californians moving to Texas and how that might change the state
Cullum Clark, director of the Bush Institute-SMU Economic Growth Initiative, said the reason Californians are coming to Texas is simple: economic opportunity.www.dallasnews.com

If you would like me to consider moving there you guys are going to have to do better. As mentioned Texas has cheap housing, which I’m a big fan of, but everything else is just not up to snuff.
People steal for various reasons none of which really matter. Crime is crime and criminals must be put under arrest no matter the circumstance. If you want money to buy things either get a job or stand on a street corner and beg for it. Better yet, apply for welfare or go to a food kitchen.
Once criminals get the message its ok to steal, their greed will know no limits. Eventually all items for sale will be locked up not the people who take them.

You could have point. However your taxes are far too high to pay for all that socialism. Perhaps if you matched our tax rates and allowed everyone to own a gun it would be more appealing to Americans.
Why would we want to make the place more appealing to people who want guns?You could have point. However your taxes are far too high to pay for all that socialism. Perhaps if you matched our tax rates and allowed everyone to own a gun it would be more appealing to Americans.
Nevermind the fact that all of his points are bullshit; for example my taxes in the liberal wasteland of california are lower than they would be in texas and i get actual return on my tax monies.Why would we want to make the place more appealing to people who want guns?
The AG of Texas has been under investigation for 7 years. When is he going to be arrested?
Under INDICTMENT, not investigation.
I would rather not have to carry a firearm so I can shoot back at degenerates like yourself.Perhaps you should consider moving to our conservative paradise.
