And yet NY suburbs somehow managed to flip 4 solid blue seats to red.. and we now have a GOP congress.. and you still wonder why?
Those in power/ running for office need to start getting their heads out of their asses and see people can and will vote for a total fake sense of security if Dems keep telling them just accept criminals only getting a slap on the wrist.
People don't like police, and DA going soft on crime!
The whole teenage thing so lets take it easy on them is a insult to everyone who is not a criminal, who works hard and does the right thing.
Going easy on them just encourages more crime.
So it goes from wanting more than a slap on the wrist for (alleged) teenage car thieves, to wanting them put to death. That's a hell of a leap.
Is it all for the sake of wanting Dems to appear, "tough on crime" so GOP stops winning elections in NY? For your own subjective experiences/opinions? Some combo thereof? Did you have a vehicle stolen that heavily affected your daily life?
I'm just trying to understand where your feelings come from on this.
Well thank God some genius invented car insurance so none of that is a problem anymore..
Jaskalas beat me to the response...
Who the !@#$ is that going to help?
Let's assume a vehicle is stolen and not seen again.
They going to pay out as if it was totaled?
Trade in Value of $685.
That sure as hell isn't getting a functional replacement.
It will help those who can afford FULL coverage insurance that covers vehicle theft. Maybe. Depending on regulations in your state/city.
Poorer folks driving $1-5K cars obviously aren't going to have that, and will be SOL. They will be more desperate and affected than those who can afford to compensate for the loss.
Still not justification to wish death on the thief, IMO.
